    Frank runs a fabulous business! He handled everything for my trip to Santa Marta and Tayrona and it was absolutely amazing! The hotel he put us in was just perfect and his tour he arranged was so much fun a coffee plantation tour and a hike to the waterfalls through Minca. The trip was flawless and I was more than pleased with his business. As a US and EU citizen I would recommend this to everyone wanting to explore Colombia in a unique and custom designed way Frank handles it you won’t be disappointed. I will definitely be using him again!

    Frank is a world class travel agent and highly knowledgeable on all things Colombia. He is always responsive, transparent, and a great communicator. His team is also excellent. He arranged a personal guide as well as private transportation who accompanied us during our designated days of downtime while in the country. I will definitely be working with Frank again when we return to Colombia.

    The best tour operator in Colombia with Swiss quality. We booked a golf trip through Frank and Pelecanus and everything was perfect from A to Z. Frank and his team are professionals in their field and know everything about Colombia. No matter where you want to go or what you want to do, it will be organized exactly the same way. Frank is available 24/7 and makes the impossible possible. What surprised us most was that he works with almost all golf courses and makes it possible to play the top golf courses in Colombia. We will book the next trip with Pelecanus again. Frank, keep it up...

    Everything went great. We are a family and there were six of us with four adult children. I planned the trip with Frank, describing our ideas, activity requests and places we would like to see. He created a travel plan that we then adjusted as desired. For various reasons, the trip became an adventure tour that suited us very well. I found the payment part difficult at first because you end up transferring money to distant Colombia. But if everything was handled properly, the concerns were unfounded. We had a lot of trouble along the way. Illnesses, injuries, canceled flights and so on. We were in constant contact with Frank almost every day; he really took excellent care of us, even on his own initiative. You really couldn't ask for anything better. If we were to travel to Colombia again, I would definitely organize it again with Pelecanus/Frank. Of course, you can plan and organize almost everything yourself, but Pelecanus relieves the burden considerably with perfect service.

    Frank and his team did a great job organizing a three week, luxury tour of Colombia. They managed the details of the trip on a daily basis. For example, when our pre-return Covid testing site in Bogota was overwhelmed with patients, they automatically made alternative arrangements for us that sped up the testing process.

    This summer we had a wonderful journey in Colombia organized by Pelecanus SAS. Together with the travel agency we set up the travel in the Santander region and on the Caribbean coast. We did two hikes, one in Santander region were we experienced the beauty of the nature in the rain forest, the heat and power of the canyons of Suarez and Chicamocha rivers and the coziness of the small villages on the way. The second hike was to the lost city in the Sierra Nevada jungle where we were confronted and challenged by the tropical forest and its life. The travel agency was very attentive to our wishes and proposed the travel which responded to our needs to see Colombia in the way we wanted. It even exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the nature of Colombia, small villages and the people! The guides the travel agency organized (one in Santander region and the other guide during the lost city tour) were very professional and had a lot of knowledge about the regions and its people. At the same time they were very attentive to our wishes and needs and could adapt the journey where it was needed. We recommend Pelecanus SAS as a reliable travel agency which focus to make your journey in Colombia very personal and unforgettable.

    Frank and the Pelecanus team planned our dream come true family vacation to Colombia. He curated an amazing 10 days which included visiting islands, renting a yacht, transportation from Baru to Santa Marta, a cleansing ceremony with the indigenous tribe, tubing down a river and so much more. Frank was very patient and willing to go the extra mile with all my requests and questions. With his expertise and knowledge he provided many options of exploring different regions and excursions. We traveled with a large group ranging from age 5 - 80, and everything Frank suggested was enjoyed by all. Frank went the extra mile and even checked on our group frequently while we were in Colombia. We will be visiting Colombia again and will be working on another dream vacation with Frank and the Pelecanus team in the near future. Highly recommended!

    The help and service I got from Frank and his staff at Pelecanus SAS was fantastic! He provided great insight into safely seeing Bogotá and arranged for a fantastic trip to colonial Colombia. In fact, I could have used more country and less city had I spoken to Frank first. Highly recommended!!!

    Pelecanus Tours organised our 13 days in Colombia in August 2022. Frank was excellent at helping us define our visit in a very limited time before we departed Europe as we decided to visit Colombia at the last minute. We are so happy we decided to visit Colombia and with Pelecanus organisation everything went just perfectly and all of the guides that were waiting to meet us in the various places that we visited were informative, professional and delightful!! Our trip to Colombia was really enhanced by all the people we were introduced to through Franks organisation, guides and drivers, and in our short time in Colombia we were able to really have an insiders view of Colombia, understand the country with the warn and hospital people we met and we left Colombia feeling like we knew it well and with a desire to return one day. All of the accommodation that we planned with Frank was exactly as we wished and even when we made some itinerary changes en-route to stay longer in one place it was very easy. If you want to really discover Colombia then ask Pelecanus Tours to organise your stay in this beautiful country. Many thanks Frank and team!!!

    Pelecanus helped my group setup to go on a helicopter tour of Medellin and worked out all the details with transport and making sure everyone was ready. Was a great experience.

    My husband and I enjoyed two wonderful weeks in Colombia thanks to Frank Spitzer and Pelecanus Travel. Frank spent time in advance with us exploring our interests and available options in Colombia. His advice regarding internal conditions in Colombia reassured us that the time was right for safe and healthy travel. He selected a varied itinerary including hiking, birdwatching, and cultural highlights. Our visit included world class art, a coffee plantation, pre-Colombian cultural practices, the rugged beauty of the Andes, Catholic traditions and architecture, and the mouthwatering Colombian cuisine. We plan to visit Colombia again and will rely on Frank and his team when we return to ensure a quality experience at reasonable cost.

    Working with Frank was one of the best decisions I could have possibly made when travelling in Colombia. He attentively listened to the needs of my business partner and I and was able to put together a trip around Pasto-Narino - Bueseco area where we were shown every single step of the coffee production process, introduced us to some local farmers, and taste-tested many types of coffee. He arranged a driver and tour-guide, hotel stay, and every step of the trip for a worry-free stay! Further, Frank was always there for us whenever we had any questions about Colombia and even met with us in Bogota. I strongly recommend working with Frank and his travel agency for all your Colombia travel needs. Thanks man!

    Frank and his team prepared and organized a varied, eventful, exciting and attractive trip to Colombia for us. We were able to experience a very safe and beautiful trip. In just under three weeks we were able to visit different parts of the country from 4,450 meters above sea level to the Caribbean. Priska and Claus Ullmann

    When the topic of traveling to Colombia came up at home and my husband considered a Colombian travel agency, I was more than skeptical. I would have preferred to book with Miller but then I was convinced. The decision was spot on. We can recommend Frank Spitzer and his team to everyone. Even if there were language barriers, all it took was a phone call and we were helped. So at any time again because the country is so beautiful and there is definitely potential for another trip. Kind regards to the whole team and thank you again. Bavarian family

    It was a very good decision to plan the Colombia trip with Pelecanus. Working with Frank Spitzer is pleasant and efficient; he was able to assess our wishes and needs, which we sometimes only vaguely outlined, extremely well. I am sure that we would not have experienced some of the highlights in Colombia without Frank! During the trip we always had a direct communication channel - but in the end we didn't really use it because organizationally everything went as planned. I can fully recommend Frank and his team to get to know Colombia. We returned home with the desire to travel to this great country again. Thank you Frank!
