Private Arrival or Departure Transfer: Ernesto Cortissoz Airport

Gran Colombia Tours is the Best Private Transfer Option in Barranquilla!

Recently, I traveled solo to Barranquilla, Colombia and wanted private transport from the airport to my room at the Four Points by Sheraton. I prefer this instead of rolling the dice on a taxi that may or may not be legitimate. Booking through Viator gave me peace of mind since their companies are vetted and the reviews are public. I chose Gran Colombia Tours because they fit my budget and had a good rating. I booked a one-way ride since I usually take an Uber to the airport for my return trip home. The first thing that impressed me was how much communication I received after I reserved my ride. I got immediate confirmation in the TripAdvisor app and on WhatsApp from Gran Colombia Tours as soon as I booked. Close to my trip, they told me who my driver would be and gave me the make, model and license plate number for his vehicle. Gerardo Prada, my driver, reached out the day before my trip and a few times on travel day to keep me updated. Because Gerardo knew my landing time, soon after, he guided me through the airport with photos and even sent a picture of himself holding a sign with my name so there was no chance of confusion. When I came out of Customs, he was right there in the front row on the walkway, so I spotted him instantly and didn’t have to scan the crowd. It was the easiest pickup I’ve ever had, and I travel internationally a lot. Gerardo helped with my bags and parked close by, so we were on our way in no time. During the ride to the hotel, which took about 30 minutes, he acted as a bonus tour guide, telling me about all the changes the city underwent since I last visited Barranquilla around 20 years ago. He offered me water and made sure the air conditioning was set exactly right to my preference. Gerardo started playing American style music, but I told him since I was in Colombia, I wanted to hear local tunes. He switched to a great station and even played my Spanish language song requests, which I loved. When we got to the hotel, Gerardo helped me to the door with my bags, and we said goodbye. He was so pleasant and professional that when I needed to book a private car a few days later for an hour of specific sightseeing, I texted him. He organized everything with his colleague Juan, since he wasn’t available at that time. Juan was also friendly, professional and attentive to my requests. Gerardo’s professionalism and punctuality changed my mind about taking an Uber back to the airport. I booked Gran Colombia Tours again a week later and asked specifically for Gerardo. He arrived early and was just as friendly as before. On the way back he shared even more history about Barranquilla that I really appreciated. I can’t say enough good things about Gerardo Prada and Gran Colombia Tours. If you want a reliable, safe ride to or from the airport or a private car for anything during your stay in Barranquilla, look no further. They were exceptional and I’ll definitely use them again next time I’m in town.

Outstanding

Claudia was outstanding, she was very professional and warm at the same time. After a very long day of traveling, she provided a little snack. Next trip to this area, I’m hoping to have her again. Thank you, Claudia!
