Canceled Trip - My trip was canceled because not enough people signed up. The tour operator was nice enough to offer me an alternate trip, but I had already visited those places. They did refund my money in a timely manner. I wish I had gotten the opportunity to take the tour as the price is great for the amount of places to visit. Maybe next time I'm in Bogota.
