Bruce put together a trip for me on short notice that combined city tours, internal flights, a bucket list trip to see the incredible rock art of Cerro Azul, history and wildlife excursions, and a trip to the charming town of Villa de Levya. It was an absolutely fantastic trip and I highly recommend BnB. Bruce, his colleagues, and my guides were a pleasure and there was never a time when I was unable to communicate with them. Admittedly, my Spanish is very limited but it was never a problem thanks to a reliable driver, fluent guides, and 24/7 cell communication with Bruce. If you haven’t been to Colombia or don’t know what it has to offer, let me tell you the food is excellent, the people friendly, the geography diverse, and layers upon layers of history from the ice age to precolombian to the Spanish conquest to independence and beyond. If Colombia is on your travel list I encourage you to contact Bruce. This was the 43rd country I have visited and would return in a heartbeat.

Bruce was very easy to deal with and very accommodating. Even during our time in Columbia, there were changes that needed to happen and he made things work out to keep us from having a bad experience. Highly recommend him and his company!

Bruce arranged tours for us in Bogota, Medellin, and Cartagena. Every detail was taken care of. We were doing a two week visit, and requested him to put together the best tours for these three locations. We planned to make our own flight and hotel arrangements. He asked to review our choices, and made appropriate recommendations to not stay in certain locations which we had chosen. We were totally satisfied, and have no reservations in recommending Bruce to organize your tours.
