Arvey the host is just amazing. Friendly, nice and funny. What makes this trip so unique is the 3 different modes of transportation you will probably never have experienced before! Including Brujita, Garrucha and Willy Jeep. Also, Arvey makes it so safe with a support van following you. Even though the bike ride is not technical, if at any moment you are tired you can easily get in the van! This was by far the most authentic, unique and adventurous trip we had in Colombia BY FAR!

We actually had Bruce plan a 3 week tour of Colombia for us and it was wonderful! From Bogota to the Amazon to Zipaquira to Barichara to Medellin to Guatape to Pereira to Salento (Loved the hike in Cocura Valley up to the Acaime Reserve!) to Santa Marta to Cartagena. WOW!! What an experience thanks to Bruce and his outstanding guides! So glad we came. *Apparently TA doesn't like the word Spouse but that's who traveled with me. :-)

We wanted to spend two weeks in Colombia touring Bogota, Medellin, and Cartagena. After reviewing several sites, and offers from various companies, we selected Bruce McLean as our tour organizer. We made a wise choice. Bruce organized a series of tours, all of which were perfect in every detail. We were not the easiest people to deal with, because we wanted certain things on certain dates, etc. Bruce offered to arrange everything, but we wanted to make our own flight and hotel arrangements. Bruce asked to review our choices, and made some astute and wise recommendations to change some of the hotels. He was absolutely correct in every case. We strongly recommend tours organized by Bruce. He has access to the best guides (like Erika in Medellin, as mentioned by another reviewer).

We (my husband and I ) had an amazing time in the Galapagos Islands! We did this trip at the end of October 2020 after the stressful lockdown covid months, so we were looking forward to unwind and visit for the first time the enchanted islands as our vacation. The tours designed by Rebecca Adventure were perfect and customized to our taste and needs. We visited Santa Cruz and Isabela and it was perfect because there weren't many tourists at the time due to the pandemic. We were truly impressed with all the activities, the wildlife and the services provided by our tour guides. We got to see most of the land and marine fauna that we expected, including hammerhead sharks. It was without a doubt one of the most memorable trips of our lives. We highly recommend Rebecca Adventure as your tour agency for the Galapagos and Ecuador. Biosecurity measures were very well respected on the islands, so its safe to travel! If you're looking to come to Ecuador and the Galapagos this is the time, still less tourists, the wildlife is truly impressive and besides life is short, take risks and ENJOY IT!

I highly recommend Uncharted to anyone who wants to experience beautiful and colourful Colombia. It's impossible to find someone more professional, reliable, friendly, detailed and organized than Cami & team. With them you know you are in very good and capable hands. Our trip was flawlessly organized and customized to our specific needs. We were a group of 9 friends who trekked the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, experienced the exotic Santa Marta and Tayrona National Park, discovered La Guajira and spent sunny and relaxing days in Cartagena de Indias. Thank you, Uncharted, for an unforgettable and perfect trip!
