    El Salvador and Guatemala were absolutely amazing. I enjoyed the group of ladies I traveled with, the accommodations and the host. The host was absolutely amazing, she had such a vibrant personality, keep us informed, ensured we had everything and she spoke Spanish. I’ve been on several Melanin Globe trips but this one is definitely in my top three. If you are debating traveling with this group don’t debate it any longer, just book it.

    Our trip to Cartagena was absolutely amazing! From the breathtaking views to the delicious food and incredible people, every moment was unforgettable. Our host, Dee, was as fun and engaging as always, ensuring the entire experience was seamless and enjoyable. This was my second trip with Melanin Globe, and I’ve already booked my third! The Pelanque experience, boat trip, and mud volcano were definite highlights and top-notch adventures I highly recommend. If you’re looking for a well-curated, fun, and memorable trip, don’t miss out on this one. I can’t wait for the next adventure!

    My trip to Cartagena, Colombia, was absolutely amazing, and a huge part of that was thanks to my incredible host, Dee. From the moment we arrived, Dee went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensured our experience was seamless. She was so helpful with Spanish, teaching us key phrases and assisting with communication, which made navigating the city a breeze. Dee also shared fantastic local recommendations that gave us a true taste of Cartagena’s culture and charm. Her kindness, attentiveness, and deep knowledge of the city made this trip unforgettable.

    Overall the trip was good. The activities, meals, and scheduling worked well. ***** the host/guide was amazing. She provided in depth information about the Emirati culture and gave suggestions for more immersion beyond the itinerary, which I prefer. The cost was reasonable. The lowlights; the stay at the ************ was subpar, the room smelled like an ashtray (although it was not on a designated smoking floor), the floor tiles underneath the carpet were moving each time we walked within the room and the housekeeping staff took our bedsheets after being asked to service the room (they did not service it all day and we had to ask for service after returning late from an outing). We alerted the hotel of the issues within the room, however their only option was a much smaller room that also smelled like an ashtray. It took an entire day to get more sheets. The staff in the hotel was nice and very accommodating, but the hotel room was not great. The location for the hotel in ********* was even worst; it was very very dated and was not the best option. We stayed an additional night in ********* but changed hotels to the ************************************* which was very nice. Had I not been traveling with my cousin, I would have left the *************** the first night and paid for a stay elsewhere. ** did offer a refund for the stay in *********. I'd strongly recommend using the Courtyard for future group travel; breakfast wasn't included, but the room was very nice. The excursions were nice and very engaging. This was my second trip to *****, I also came in a day ahead to get settled. The only downside to the excursions was that an hour was allocated for time at the *****. Given that this was the only time for others to enjoy this cultural and shopping experience, more time should have been allocated, or the schedule for the day should have been communicated in advance so that folks could have better planned their free time before this day.

    *******, thank you for your 4-star feedback. Some countries allows travelers/residents to smoke, and we wish we could avoid this, however, this feedback is extremely helpful. We appreciate your honesty and are glad we could resolve the initial issues during your trip.Regarding the hotel quality, we understand your expectations weren't fully met. We'll take your comments into consideration for future accommodations, especially in *********. When it comes to the time spent on tours, unfortunately with group travel experiences, it limits us. Our goal is to start a practice of adding more leisure days, to give travelers time to circle back around to experiences they'd want to spend more time on/at. Your satisfaction is paramount, and we're committed to continually improving. Melanin Globe Team

    This was my second trip with Melanin Globe and it was absolutely amazing! Our local guide **** was awesome. I called her the paparazzi because she'll get those great pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend Melanin Globe to anyone looking to have a guaranteed good time.

    The trip to **** was so magical. The local guide Gede was literally a dream he made it so easy to relax and just enjoy your trip. He would rearrange things if weather changed or we couldnt do an activity. He would be us until late at night and return early the next morning with a smile. **** was a dream vacation. All the activities that were put together were curated so perfectly. ****** had a great personality in navigating two different groups of women who may not have meshed well together. She made she everyone was taken care of. 10 out of 10 dream vacation!

    Melanin Globe is absolutely amazing! The accommodations and itinerary were both exceptional. This is my second trip with Melanin Globe and Trip Coordinator ******. ******' guidance and service was outstanding to say the least.
