Snorkeling over the coral reef was incredibly clear and beautiful. Our driver and guide, Eric and Tiberio were both nice and helpful.

I scheduled this boat tour in July for January 1. On the evening of Dec 30 I received an email and text saying that the tour had been cancelled and our money refunded. No explanation or other information. This was our family's day long activity and it was a little late to find another option. I emailed and texted requesting and explanation and the next day heard back that our boat captain decided to take Jan 1 off and therefore there was no boat for us. This was incredibly disappointing and frustrating. After pushing Gran Colombia did send me a couple of contacts for other options, but at the end of the day we were left without a tour for a full day and replacing it with short notice on a holiday just wasn't going to happen. At minimum I would have liked an explanation with my email cancellation as well as options to pursue - it was frustrating to have to ask for this.

The Trip organized by Gran Colombia tour offer included a bunch of surprises according to the offer on your website. Starting with the price: offer says USD335.00, if you update to a private tour only for 1 adult the price changes immediately to USD668.00????? This is a very peculiar practice, in Europe and the US this kind of offer will be treated as fraud and your website will be blocked by law immediately. Continuing with the original offer I booked: offer included soft beverages on the boat and also lunch. So I thought that justified the higher price per person. Great service and lunch was also mentioned in a high number of reviews. The booking was confirmed, excluding lunch, including soft drinks on the boat. Okay, I didn’t cancel the reservation because I already had invited my Colombian friends and I wanted to spend a wonderful day with them. But this treatment made me very unhappy. In addition there were no soft drinks aboard. Asking for a bottle of water, they couldn’t even offer it. Disappointing.
For lunch Junior, the guide, took us to a place called Tequila on Barú. We ordered the food immediately after getting there at noon, after 3 hours and embarrassing discussions we got our food. Food was okay. Nature was great, transparency of booking and communication was miserable and I am very disappointed that I offered this badly treated service to my friends. As I can see you updated your offer according to food and drinks. Nevertheless your offer still remains at USD 335.00. I am pretty sure that this treatment will kill your business, because no client wants to be treated like me. My columbian friends apologized to me and assured me that this is not the way they want their guests were treated in their country. Thank you for listening to my comment and I hope you will change your profile immediately. I will never forget your bad treatment. Friends from Germany are coming on a cruise in December, passing by in Cartagena and I will recommend them to avoid booking with Gran Columbia Tours.
