Exceptional service everytime We used Bukap Travels twice during our visit to Santa Marta and would highly recommend them to others. Diva guided us through Tayrona, we were impressed with her knowledge of the area and she kept a good pace for us to follow. If you go on the Tayrona your, bring small bills or change so you can purchase popsicles along the way. Juan Carlos drove us to our hotel and Cartagena which allowed us to learn more about the area and unwind. We enjoyed the embedded history lessons throughout the drive. During our travels, some areas were blocked off and Juan Carlos handled everything seamlessly. We made it to our destination safely and on time.

Great transportation and guided tour experience Even during the pandemic, Bukap experiences delivers outstanding transportation services and guided tours in the Caribbean coast of Colombia. We booked one way service last minute from Cartagena to Palomino and we were highly surprised by the quality of the service, the professionalism of Juan, his knowledge about the area as well as his music taste! It was a privilege to us to share this experience and I highly recommend Bukap real experiences to all travelers willing to discover Colombia and learn from a very well instructed professional.

Best experience with a professional We were looking for a transfers along the northern coast of Colombia and accidentally stumbled upon Juan Carlos. We were astonished to see a guy with perfect english, new clean car and his willingness to help with all our issues. Atm, drugstore, any items you need in your journey. If you want to feel secure and confident in your trip, Juan Carlos is highly recommended.

GO WITH BUKAP TRAVELS!!! JUAN CARLOS IS THE BEST!!! My husband and I decided to go with Bukap Travels after reading the reviews and I am sooo glad we did! Juan Carlos did not only meet our expectations but will go out of his way to make us feel comfortable and safe which was important for us. Sorry for the long review but this company deserves its recognition and I don’t really write reviews. First, he is responsive in his emails and messages on WhatsApp (highly recommend downloading the app for prompt communication). He is super professional in creating an invoice with the cost of each tour requested so there aren’t any misunderstandings. Everything is customizable. If you want to leave early, stay later (if a Covid curfew permits) he will accommodate your request the best he can. His timing is very professional. We tend to run a little late at some days but his friendly demeanor did not change as he waited patiently downstairs for us with a friendly “I’m here” text just before our scheduled pick up time. It can be overwhelming when traveling to places that you’ve never been before but Juan Carlos can make it easy by recommending places to stay and places to eat. And please don’t hesitate to give him honest reviews at the hotels you stay so he can accommodate his future clients by their preferences (he’d like to know). I’ve done a lot of tours in several countries and I’ve tried either booking or going with 4 other tour guides (in different cities in Colombia w/ activities private boat to Rosario islands, paragliding, sky diving, etc) and by far Juan Carlos was the best at communication and accommodation. I almost wished he was the go to guy for our whole trip then I wouldn’t have to worry about much – just enjoying myself. Juan Carlos is a cool guy – I appreciated his English – he did teach English (I forget what grade) as well as work at a call center (not his choice during covid due to a drop in the tourism to the area). So there’s no language barrier there. Overall, he is a great guide and super resourceful. Check him and the Bukap group out! Keep in mind, during COVID – things/regulations change on a daily basis by the gov or the city so if it does happen and it ruined your plans, don’t blame the company. Services we customized and used: – Transportation from airport to hotel (7:30p) – Minca falls and coffee plantation (9:30a-5p) – Tayrona park/hike/beach (6a-3p) – Transportation to Cartegena (6a-10a) Tips for Colombia: WhatsApp Taxi app Use an ATM (Bancolombia) to get money Max is 600cop at a time (can do multiple)
