An excellent, well-thought through tour of a country with amazing scenery and very friendly people. This is a country which has come out of a very difficult past, dominated by drug cartels, violence and intimidation. In just a fortnight we were taken to three social projects in Medellin and Cartagena to witness how music can help keep youngsters out of trouble and provide work and respectability for abused women - we joined them all. In the UNESCO recognised coffee country we picked coffee beans, we ate some excellent meals in amazing restaurants, enjoyed a beautiful sunset catamaran cruise in a Cartagena bay and looked in awe at the unique wax palms in Valle Del Cocora. Our guide/manager, Johan, was with us throughout the tour, as well as local guides in Pereira, Medellin, Santa Marta and Cartagena. Johan set up a WhatsApp group and still sends us messages now we are back in the UK. He couldn't help us enough. A highly recommended Discovery tour. Congratulations Wendy Wu Tours!

Colombia is a a vibrant and exciting place to visit. The Wendy Wu tour explored the cultural and historical aspects of cities and the amazing countryside. Each day was varied and we loved the exploration of Columbian food in a wonderful variety of local restaurants. We learnt about the history and how Columbia is changing and developing. Highlights for us included the Salt mine cathedral, the gold museum and the visit to the coffee plantation. Finishing the tour in Cartagena with trips to the beach and the catamaran experience in the bay was unforgettable. A great holiday with fantastic guides we loved it.

The booking procedure was very good but I can’t recommend Wendy wu to anyone until I have actually been on the holiday

Rang up and spoke to Lisa who gave me the information I wanted and then having talked it thru with she who must be obeyed rang again and booked the holiday and even got our airline seat allocation. Great.

Very helpful and efficient.

This was a tour of two halves. The Peru section was generally excellent with a couple of issues; the Colombia section was generally average with a couple of high points. Accommodation in Peru was of a high standard with well located hotels. Accommodation in Colombia was reasonable but all the hotels were in isolated or in areas with no bars, restaurants or shops nearby. Local guides in Peru were of a high standard (with one exceptional guide). Local guides in Colombia were average to poor. Food in Peru was ok although several of the buffet lunches provided were poor. Food in Colombia was generally excellent.The excursions in Peru were excellent apart from a trip on Lake Titicaca which was a tourist trap. The sights in Colombia were average with a couple of highlights. Local flights in Peru were good: punctual and comfortable. Local flights in Colombia were poor: we suffered significant delays and last minute changes; an aborted landing in Bogota and another in Pereira.

The tour would benefit from a change of itinerary - starting in Colombia and ending in Machu Picchu and Cusco. Machu Picchu is such a highlight that everything suffers in comparison.
