Together we speak 4 languages (Spanish, Dutch, English & French) and have over 10 years of experience in Colombian travel business.
How it Started

Lulo Colombia Travel was born. Today, Lulo Colombia operates as a well-oiled machine and we receive customers from all over the world, who have left us with only 5 star reviews.

Daniel and Lulo, take a bow – We had an amazing time in Colombia, thanks for Daniel and his crew. He patiently listened to our travel wishes and accommodated all our requests in building a perfect private… read more itinerary for us. From national parks to beautiful cities, we had a great nature/culture adventure. We had a car, driver and guides every place we visited.
We just loved Cocora Valley and Salento, thanks to Juan and Peter. Peter knew everyone in town and every historical and bilological detail in the valley.
Ian Carlo was super helpful in Medellin and Guatapé (the best margarita I ever had and best lunch in the trip – both his recommendations). He (and Lulo) accommodated our request to include Comuna 13 in Medellin without hesitation.
Eric brought the culture of Taironas alive for us in Santa Marta. Catalina was very helpful in Cartagena.
Julio was super knowledgeable in our tour in Bogota. He navigated protests in the city and rains skillfully and still helped us have a great experience in the city.
Thanks to each and every driver and guide and surely to Daniel and the back office staff. We recommend a trip to Colombia to everyone. The country felt safe and is amazingly beautiful. And of course, go with Lulo Colombia Travel and have a worry free vacay.
April 30, 2024Perfect vacation in Colombia – My husband and I recently returned from a trip to Colombia organised by Lulo Colombia Travel. The organiser was Daniel Restrepo.

What a great experience in Colombia – Thank you Lulo Colombia Travel for a spectacular month in beautiful Colombia! – We have traveled a lot over the last few decades (over 100 countries on seven continents) but our most recent month long trip to Colombia, which Lulo Colombia Travel (thank… read more you very much – Daniel Restrepo) planned and organized for us, has comfortably moved towards the top ten (if not top five) list of our favorite trips. What a spectacular experience this was! Not only were we surprised by the incredible diversity and beauty of Colombia, but everything went so smooth and was so well organized that we were able to fully focus on the actual travel experience. The trip we did may not be for everyone as there were some rather strenuous elements to it (long hikes, mountain biking, very long car rides to get to our destinations), but for someone who has an adventurous travel attitude and frame of mind this was perfect. Where there were small issues (a guide had a motorcycle accident and we were not able to do part of an excursion on the very first day in Bogota) Lulo was extremely proactive and fixed the issue quickly and perfectly (we did the excursions on our last day in Bogota before flying home to the United States). Our accommodations were overall quite satisfactory and reflected the places in Colombia that we traveled to. Again, some accommodations were quite rudimentary but worked okay. We would overall highly recommend Lulo to anyone interested in any type of travel to Colombia. Thank you again for a wonderful five star experience at an – in our opinion – fair price.
March 28, 2024Use Lulo for the best Colombian experience – Don’t plan your trip without Lulo! Ask for Daniel!
I got a great deal on air tickets for my family of 5 (3 kids under 8). I wanted… read more to go with a company since I wasn’t sure about safety and we didn’t want to drive ourselves. This was the best decision ever. I wrote to Lulo with my dates, budget, and want I wanted to do and they produced a flexible 4 location 8 day tour. My parents joined us so they managed logistics and lodging for 7 people. I used the phones they provided to make tweaks to our itinerary as we traveled and they responded with options quickly.
I wish I could plan every trip with Lulo!
March 18, 2024Amazing experience, extremely well organized, friendly guides – The team at Lulo did an amazing job of organizing our trip to Columbia. We had just over 2 weeks, but the itinerary they put together covered a wide variety… read more of places, from the vibrant Candelaria district in Bogota, to the tranquil lodge at the Amazon river, flying to the white city of Popayan, watching condors and volcanoes, then to the Coffee region, and finally Cartagena and the stunning beauty of the Caribbean. We were able to experience the amazing hospitality of Colombians and dive into their rich history. It was a smooth trip, all details were taken care of, our tour guides were very professional, knowledgeable and personable and we felt supported and listened to throughout the entire journey.
I gladly recommend the services of Lulo to any traveler who would like to explore and enjoy the beautiful country of Columbia.

Had a fantastic trip in Colombia organised by Lulo. Everything was so well organised and so punctual, yet flexible and personalised. The guides were amazing and gave so much detail… read more and history about this fantastic country, thanks Francisco, Felipe, Isabelle, Juan and Hector.
Unfortunately one of our tour guides became ill, and at short notice, Daniel and the Lulo team were able to organise an alternative tour and transport within the hour.
The use of a local mobile phone and the 24/7 support from the Lulo team was a great help. The useful tips they provided for things from tipping, to areas that wouldn’t take card and ensure to bring cash, to sitting on the correct side of the boat on transport to the Rosario islands to avoid the hot sun.
The detailed itinerary and ability to change around times really made the trip an unbelievable experience. Everything was exactly as described and shown in the pictures.
Colombia really is a beautiful country and the people were so friendly and welcoming. I would rate my experience with Lulo 10/10 and say thank you to Daniel, Cristina and all the Lulo team for organising the trip of a lifetime for us.
January 27, 2023Excellent – Couldn’t recommend Lulo enough! Absolutely fantastic service, so friendly and extremely well organized. Everything was really personal and we could change plans to suit us on the day. Really personal… read more experience. Lulo gave us a phone with data with was really useful for Google maps and translate as well as the WhatsApp group with Daniel and the team where they were available 24/7 to answer any queries.
All of the guides we’re extremely knowledgeable and friendly, with loads of info about the local areas, history and nature.
All transport and flights were on time and very comfortable.
Hotels were all of a high standard, very clean and comfortable with excellent location.
Overall absolutely fantastic service! Colombia is an amazing country and we would definitely recommend going with Lulo Colombia!
January 27, 2023We couldn’t have asked for a better experience in Colombia! Daniel and his team worked with us to design a trip that included must-visit destinations (Bogota, Tayrona) as well as… read more some off the beaten path spots (Casanare was by far our favorite part). When problems arose during our trip (delayed flights, mostly) Daniel immediately rearranged everything. Our two week trip went off without a hitch, largely thanks to Lulo. Highly recommend.

Lulo and Daniel are absolutely amazing. Everything they planned for us was wonderful. The guides were very intelligent, and delightful people who spoke English perfectly. The accomodations were all wonderfully… read more located with comfortable beds and charming.
If you get a chance to see the coffee plantations; the Canyo Crystalis (stay at the Ecolodge La Managua) and the Cocoa Valley – they were highlights for us.
We cannot recommend Daniel and his team enough.
December 4, 2022We just spent a wonderful 10 days in Colombia with the help of Daniel and his team at Lulo Colombia Travel. We always prefer to travel with local travel… read more agencies rather with big organization and Lulo Travel is one of the best travel agencies we have worked with. Daniel helped us figure out the best itinerary based on our time constraints, and guided us through the best destination and places to visit. He patiently worked with me even before we signed on, changing our proposal as we make changes to our itinerary. We chose Lulo over quite a few other agencies for the reasonable price as well as superlative customer service. Daniel was always available to troubleshoot any issues, answer any questions, work through any potential changes that we came up at the last minute, providing great support and service that goes above and beyond. For example, Daniel negotiated late check out at our hotel when we could not, worked to find us towels so we can shower in the spa before getting on the plane, made reservation for us for Rum Tasting in Cartagena when they didn’t respond to us, answered a million questions I have while on the trip. The team he put together was also excellent, with superb tour guides and drivers. He also has an app that outlined our entire trip and also provided us with documents for flights, etc, that he has booked for us. Daniel checked us in before the flight, provided boarding passes, making for seamless travel and excellent, relaxed experience. We could not have asked for a better team and better support for our trip to Colombia. Muchas gracias to Henry, our tour guide in Bogota who patiently helped me shop for emeralds (that I did not buy). =) Such wonderful service! Highly recommend Lulo Colombia Travel. We are lucky to have found you!
December 2, 2022Just back from a 2 week vacation put together by Daniel at Lulo. The whole experience was great – Daniel very responsive and helpful. The guides he hired… read more were knowledgable and engaging; drivers who didn’t speak English also friendly and able to use google translator to facilitate needed communication. Daniel’s organization and team – enabled us to fully enjoy the beautiful parts of Columbia that we visited.

Incredible Colombian Honeymoon – Lulo was an incredible travel agency! We decided to make Colombia our honeymoon destination, but didn’t really know where to begin. Normally we love to plan our own vacations… read more to incorporate our own travel tastes. But with all the wedding planning we had going on, we just did not have the time to research and plan a trip. Lulo was amazing at working with us to plan a private honeymoon trip that had everything we were looking for. Daniel was very knowledgable and made great suggestions for the timing of our trip, destinations, and activities that we would have never discovered using travel books alone. The accommodations were AMAZING and in very convenient locations. All of the transportation from city to city was seamless. Not being a native Spanish speaker, Lulo was an incredible asset to have. And they were incredibly affordable compared to some other agencies we looked at. If you’re looking for a carefree amazing Colombian adventure, definitely check out Lulo.
November 16, 2022We had a trip for 4 weeks in Colombia. It was amazing. Our contact before and during the trip with Lulo was excellent. They know a lott of special places… read more and very nice hotels!
Lulo is for us the best agent in South America. All the drivers and guides where very good and taking good care of you. The whole trip we didn’t worry about anything. We fall in love with Colombia and we come back for sure.
Our second trip will be with Lulo. LULO thank you again for everything!
September 30, 2022Last summer, we went on a 5-week trip through Colombia and we loved every minute of it. It was a wonderful and stress free trip and all of that because… read more of Lulocolombia!
My husband and I are experienced travellers and normally arrange everything ourselves, but because we wanted to get as much out of our time in Colombia and wanted to visit some more remote places as well, we decided to inform with a travel agency.
From the moment we got in contact with Lulocolombia and Daniel, I was convinced we should book with them. They are very knowledgeable, experienced, kind and patient. We had a pretty good idea of everything we wanted to do and which places we wanted to visit and then Daniel suggested some extra’s or alternatives and put all of that into a smooth 5-week trip.
Our trip was really packed with activities and, because of our chosen destinations, quite some transports but really everything went smoothly. Activities were on time, drivers were on time, everything went according to plan. We were also constantly kept up to date about everything through whatsapp and when we needed information, they always responded within minutes. Lulocolombia even helped us out with our lost baggage and with the rebooking of our international flight.
The logistics set aside, the trip itself was amazingly beautiful as well. We absolutely loved Colombia and the places we visited (Casanare with the great local guide Santiago, Canos Cristales, Amazon, Coffee region, Medellin, Bahia Solano, Cartagena, Rosario islands, Tayrona, Barichara, villa de leyva and Bogota). The nature was wonderful, the people were friendly and the food was great.
There is no doubt in our minds, if we visit Colombia again (because the country is so big and there is so much more that we would like to see), we will definitely have it arranged by Lulocolombia again.
Thank you so much to the whole team!

When we decided in April that our summer holidays would be in Colombia I started researching this vast country. Through my research I discovered Lulo and I decided to get… read more in touch. From the first email with Daniel, throughout the entire booking process and finally our 16 days in Colombia in July 2022 everything went very smoothly. We have travelled the world and I have to admit that the entire Lulo team goes beyond expectations. When we arrived we received a local mobile phone, so we could be in touch 24/7 via WhatsApp. The professional Lulo guides whenever possible took us off the beaten path, as we had asked to avoid tourist traps. Before we asked they already boarded our internal flights and sent us the boarding passes via WhatsApp. I can go on and on … in any case our next holiday in Colombia will be organized by the Lulo team. Thanks Charlotte, Daniel and the entire Lulo team !!!
August 18, 2022We had a great time with Lulo in Casanare. The place, the nature and food were great. We travelled with two parents and two lady-daughers and were all astonished by… read more the rich wildlife and the astonishing landscapes the place offers. Particularly we would like to mention the two guides: a local guide whose knowledge of the place was extremely big, and an English speaking guide who had a great expertise in Colombians wildlife ad ecosystems. It was an extremely important surplus value for us to discuss all kinds of nature stuff and have detailed descriptions of the wildlife. Moreover, the place was great, with a very helpfull staff taking care of everything. We had a truly wonderfull time. Also thanks to Daniel for helping us with the lost suitcase of our daughter!
August 17, 2022Lulo organised a 3 week round trip in Colombia for our family with 3 young adults (18-20-22 years old). It was the first time we booked an organised trip, normally… read more we book everything ourselves. The organisation was prefect, balanced activities (nature vs culture, relax vs challenging), good guides, fine hotels and perfect timing. Communication with Daniel and his coworkers was quick and very easy, both before the trip and while being in Colombia. Unfortunately one of us got injured at the start of our trip and Lulo was very helpful/flexible to organise a alternative program.

Daniel- Lulo Colombia
Working with Daniel to plan our two week honeymoon in Colombia was the absolute best idea we’ve had. I came across his travel company online and… read more after having a long conversation with him on the phone we decided to book our travel with him. He was never ever pushy which I appreciate so much and was confident enough in himself and planning skills to say “hey even if you like the itinerary we map out for you and decide you don’t want to book with us, you can still use the itinerary.” It shows that he is a wonderful sales person and doesn’t feel the need to sell you something you don’t want.
We worked through the itinerary together for a few weeks until I finally felt like it was exactly what we were looking for. He created a rough draft for us and from there tailored it four different times because I wanted to change the hotels, amount of tours we did and even order in which places we visited. He never made me feel like I was bothering him by changing things up and was always extremely responsive and helpful along the way. He always offered advice when I asked and was truthful in his answers. I truly feel like his only goal was to make sure Alec and I were happy with the itinerary he created for us and never tried it take advantage of us.
Fast forward to our trip. It went as smoothly as it could the entire 2 weeks we were here. Everything was so well organized down to the drivers who picked us up and took us to the airport. Every company including the tours and hotels he picked for us we’re was incredibly friendly and professional. They drivers were always on time if not early and would make us feel like family.
We both speak enough Spanish to get by but there were a few times on our trips that we definitely needed some assistance. We called Daniel twice, once because we couldn’t get a taxi in Villa De Lleyva and once because we needed help confirming a dinner reservation. He immediately responded and sorted it all out for us in less than 5 minutes. He went out of his way to help us both times as they weren’t even reservations we made through him. His responsiveness and willingness to help beyond excel any service we’ve ever used for booking trips in the past. Anytime we needed recommendations or help he was only a call or text away and again never made us feel like we were bothering him.
Lastly, we decided to change up a few things on the itinerary last minute (a tour in Medellin) because we wanted a little more time to relax. We asked him to cancel the tour and weren’t really expecting to get our money back as it was something we already committed to. However, when we told him about cancelling it he said no problem and then a day or two later I received a notice that we did in fact get the tour refunded. This was so wonderful and truly appreciated.
Daniel, thank you and your team for making this honeymoon so so special. We highly recommend you and your services to anyone and everyone coming to Colombia and are so happy you too chose us to work with! We couldn’t have done it without you and appreciate all the hard work and time you put into planning this both before and during. Can’t wait to visit again!
May 15, 2022This was our second time using this travel agency to go to Colombia. We were so impressed with our last adventure, that we wanted to use them again. No regrets!… read more Daniel is very attentive, and we will not hesitate to use his services for our next trip back.
April 27, 2022Lulo has provided a perfectly organized trip! Itinerary for our private tour was carefully made and very responsively adjusted to address all our needs with some very good suggestions.… read more All our guides were great! Interesting, knowledgeable and very personal. We got helped to fill forms, organize Covid test before flying back, even got a personal mobile phone to use during the trip. Exceptional service! We appreciated and enjoyed every moment of our trip. Thank you, Lulo team!

We traveled to Colombia with Lulo in February 2022. Lulo was exceptional with planning, recommendations, advice and transportation services. Would highly recommend Lulo to any travelers; experienced or… read more novice. Lulo did a great job creating a custom itinerary for us and adapting to our desires/needs. Thank you Lulo! steve

Everything went smoothly. Invariably you will be hopping on a lot of planes, and they made it very convenient by doing the online checkin for us and sending the boarding passes to the local cellphone they provided. Guides were great. Definitely recommend Lulo.
March 15, 2022I did 3 weeks driving tour from Cartagena to Ecuadorian border, was organized on a short notice with impeccable accuracy and execution. There is the whole spectrum of activities you… read more can chose, starting with website listed tours that could be modified, you could add whatever else you like and be assured that it will be done.
Communication is excellent, team and contacts throughout the country are all top notch, everything worked as a clock. The driver I had, Hernando, was outstanding. he really treated me as a friend and tried to show me more (not sticking to the itinerary as almost all will do or in some cases doing strictly 9 to 5 job). I travel often for many years and can not recall the company with this level of service.
If you need assistance in Columbia, there is absolutely no need to look anywhere else.

I was planning a short notice trip to northern Colombia and connected with Daniel at Lulo after finding their website. Within hours, he had sent me back an itinerary that… read more addressed all our interests. We tweaked it the next day and had a great plan that everyone enjoyed. We especially appreciated the personable guides that were part of our local excursions. Our 10 day trip was smooth and easy!
March 7, 2022Our small group (7 people) has just returned from a wonderful tour to Colombia organised by Lulo Colombia Tour Agency. The whole trip was perfect. The organisation was excellent, all… read more guides and drivers were on time, very well informed and knowledgeable. I would especially like to thank Daniel from Lulo Colombia for putting together the itinerary and programme and coordinating all elements of the tour – drivers, guides, hotels, etc. He even filled out arrival and departure forms, which was incredibly useful. We also had a personal cell phone with a local SIM card provided by Lulo Colombia so we could always stay in touch. Although Colombia is well developed, it can be challenging, especially for first-time visitors. Lulo Colombia and Daniel did their best to support us in the best possible way, helping us in this way to explore and discover this wonderful country. I wish Lulo Colombia and Daniel to maintain the high quality of their services with the same commitment and passion. All our future trips to Colombia will be organised by Lulo Colombia, there is no doubt about that. Thanks again Lulo Colombia, Daniel and all the drivers, guides and helpers for the great experiences we had! Pavel, Bulgaria
February 18, 2022We are experienced travelers and we usually book all of the flights, hotels, transportation and guides ourselves. Since we had never been to Columbia before, we felt that we needed… read more help in planning and executing our vacation. The dates of our vacation were December 27, 2021 through January 20, 2022. We wanted to cover Columbia thoroughly with no other countries on our itinerary. After doing a lot of research and contacting a number of travel agents/companies who specialize in Columbia, we choose Lulo and its owner Daniel. Daniel interviewed us and gave us an initial itinerary based upon our input. It was very comprehensive and responsive to our needs and desires. Of course we made a number of changes, which Daniel enthusiastically implemented. Daniel is a very patient man. In any event, from the time we arrived in Cartagena and departed from Bogotá every detail was taken care of to our satisfaction. The trip Daniel designed for us gave us a very comprehensive, interesting, and fun immersion into Columbia, its culture, its natural beauty, and its wonderful people. The guides that were provided in each city we visited were well informed, and more importantly, very supportive and flexible. You see, while we wanted to see the relevant highlights in every city, we also needed to indulge our terrible and compulsive addiction to buying as many crafts and souvenirs as humanly possible. That need ranged from native woven purses, to emeralds, cheesy statues and baseball caps. We also have short, terrible attention spans and are somewhat ignorant and shallow. So we only have a limited capacity to visit and/or spend any time in historical buildings or museums. In any event, all of the guides and drivers were very understanding and supportive, had good senses of humor, and showed us a very good time, Daniel being the biggest booster and supporter of all. In other words they all worked to give us a wonderful, Great Vacation.

January 28, 2022It was our anniversary and it was our first trip to a South American country. We were very hesitant. Fortunately I found Daniel(Lulo) on internet and after reading reviews… read more and doing a little research I decided to give it a try. Daniel was very helpful from the start . The itinerary he offered was exactly what we were looking for. My wife and I are not tour type and would like to explore places on our own most of the time. But the personal tour guide was exactly what we needed. It was not overwhelming at all and we had extra time to explore different places on our own. The guides were superb. We had four of them. Very friendly,knowledgeable. It was one of the best trips we had taken. With no surprises and no issues worth mentioning. I will definitely recommend Lulo to everyone.

The useful tips they provided for things from tipping, to areas that wouldn’t take card and ensure to bring cash, to sitting on the correct side of the boat on transport to the Rosario islands to avoid the hot sun.
The detailed itinerary and ability to change around times really made the trip an unbelievable experience. Everything was exactly as described and shown in the pictures.
Colombia really is a beautiful country and the people were so friendly and welcoming. I would rate my experience with Lulo 10/10 and say thank you to Daniel, Cristina and all the Lulo team for organising the trip of a lifetime for us.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience in Colombia! Daniel and his team worked with us to design a trip that included must-visit destinations (Bogota, Tayrona) as well as… read more some off the beaten path spots (Casanare was by far our favorite part). When problems arose during our trip (delayed flights, mostly) Daniel immediately rearranged everything. Our two week trip went off without a hitch, largely thanks to Lulo. Highly recommend.

Lulo and Daniel are absolutely amazing. Everything they planned for us was wonderful. The guides were very intelligent, and delightful people who spoke English perfectly. The accomodations were all wonderfully… read more located with comfortable beds and charming.
If you get a chance to see the coffee plantations; the Canyo Crystalis (stay at the Ecolodge La Managua) and the Cocoa Valley – they were highlights for us.
We cannot recommend Daniel and his team enough.

Where We Are Now
The last 7 years have given us quite some insight in the tourism industry in Colombia. We noticed that not just us, but most of our travelers find the Coffee Zone an absolute highlight of the country. When we were daydreaming about the future , we thought “if we have to settle somewhere, let’s do it there, in an oasis of nature and tranquility”. 2022 turned out to be the year we began to make our daydream a reality, when we stumbled upon the most stunnign piece of land we could have imagined. Bambuco Bajo, close to Filandia in the Coffee Zone is where we want to create our paradise and share it with other travelers.
