New Recommendation 2023:

“I spent the day touring Pereira with Erin Donaldson and I’m glad I did. I’ve been to Pereira five times already but that’s still not enough to understand a city, especially if you are planning to live there. Erin gave me a view into what life would be like in Pereira and Colombia. Her insights are invaluable. Where to live. What to budget. How to rent or purchase. What traps to avoid. How to interact with locals. Shopping. Dining. Coffee. Culture. History. And most important, the insight on what attitudes create a successful experience as an expat in a world different than our own.
And even more, she was empathic to my own concerns and guided me to the right people for help. No one size fits all approach, when working with her.
I highly recommend Erin and I feel fortunate I connected with her. Just in the nick of time. Thanks Erin.” John – Las Vegas, USA Age 65
 

Here’s what one of our guests had to say about his experience:

More feedback:

“I’m so glad I decided to take a half day experience with Erin the first day I arrived in Manizales. She took me across the length of the city stopping at key points (Chipre, Plaza Bolivar, a coffee shop with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains etc.) and pointed out other landmarks from the bus along the way. Armed with the unique perspective she shared with me, I felt much better prepared to continue exploring the city on my own for the remainder of my visit.” Ellen R. 35, USA

“On short notice, Erin was able to organize an experience which included several homes and apartments that were well-suited for my needs and budget. She’s both knowledgeable and cheerful. A day with Erin is both fun and informative; you’ll not only learn about the local housing market and purchase process, you’ll gain valuable insights regarding the local culture to better understand why Manizales might be the right place for you.” Chris M. 50-something Bogotá via California

Important Info: The day of the tour we will meet at an agreed upon location either in the center or near the Zona Rosa. Be sure to communicate any special needs ahead of time so we can give you the best experience possible.

Rental and Purchase Consulting

We have a special additional option available. Our Rental and Purchase consulting will help you find the perfect home away from home. This is much more extensive than our regular lifestyle tours because we assist you through the entire process of finding and signing your rent lease.

Due to the exclusivity of our consulting, this comes with a separate price point. Your cost includes transportation and an interactive document where we will record our findings, status and results.

Day #1: You can come with us and live the action, or stay in the comfort of your lodgings as we send you pictures/videos of properties we find that fit your criteria.

Day #2: We take you to see the properties you like, then sit down to the negotiation table, or plan another day to keep hunting (additional per/day costs apply).
