JuanDa was a very knowledgeable guide and flexible on the tour itinerary but at times difficult to understand in English. We spent most of our time in the Gold museum, the Bolivar museum and the home where Bolivar died. They were all underwhelming.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Hola, Peter. We're sorry your experience was not as pleasant as expected. The places where we stop in this tour are claimed to be the landmarks for a complete experience around Santa Marta and are important to the country's history. We understand that as a matter of preferences, some people may like more than other people. Regarding our tour guide, we constantly check our guides' performance and advise them so they improve if they need to. We'll keep working hard to keep offering high-quality experiences. Thank you for understanding.

My parents went on this tour and they loved it. Ceasar (the guide) was amazing, very knowledgeable, kind and professional. Everything was perfect.
The guide and driver were very flexible and adapted to my parent's preferences. My mother enjoyed learning about Simon Bolivar and my father loved the little snacks (deditos de queso and jugo).
Thanks so much Ceasar for looking after them and making this day so special.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Hola Paula, we're very happy to know your parents had a great time in Santa Marta. We'll make sure to tell Cesar they had an amazing experience during the tour, he'll be happy to know his flexibility and service were appreciated. Deditos de queso is one of our favorite snacks too, we're happy to know your father agrees. Thank you so much for choosing Gran Colombia Tours and for leaving your comment.

Jose was one of the best part of our vacation. He tailored everything to us helped me find ear drops at the pharmacy and even arrange a short boat ride in the best scuba diving area. He was so knowledgeable and quick to explain what we wanted to learn not just the standard tour guide info
Thanks Jose!!!
