Cesar and Fabian provided the complete cultural immersion tour during our stay in Cartagena. We visited Palenge and the 5 Islands. We also used their services to take our college kids to airport. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, safe and taken care of. I've used many tour companies for my travels around Colombia and this has been by far the best experience. They will be on my speed dial for our next visit.

Absolutely a 5 out of 5. The tour company, guides, and driver went well above and beyond to deliver excellent communication and service. The tour of Palenque started with gracious hospitality but also a very sobering reminder of how and why the village was established. Every stop in Palenque was entertaining, informative, and underscored the pride the Palenque people. And a great lunch too!
