Who are we
Two Passionate About Colombia
TomPlanMyTrip started when two French childhood friends fell for Colombia in 2015. Years of exploration and building relationships with trusted local partners transformed our blog into a travel agency. Our goal: break away from rushed, senseless trips and offer purposeful adventures that let you slow down, experience more, and genuinely enjoy Colombia.
About Tomplanmytrip travel agency
It’s Mission Impossible to plan the perfect trip to Colombia without knowing the country—even Tom Cruise couldn’t manage it.
There are hundreds of decisions to make: where to go, how long to stay, the order of visits, how to get around, where to sleep and eat… In short, each decision brings doubt… did you make the right choices?
Now, there’s an option: Tomplanmytrip.
Our Concept: Less boring travel time, more experiences
Our goal is to revolutionize how travelers discover Colombia.
While others make you rush from point A to point B, we do things differently. After 11 years in Colombia, we figured something out: smart travel changes everything.
Our secret? Less transportation, more experiences. More time in each place, less stress. More connection with locals, less superficial tourism.
Picture this: instead of ticking boxes on a list, you actually live every moment. You understand the country. You support local economies. You return with stories, not just photos.
Why does it work? Because we choose each destination based on YOUR desires. Because we optimize your time and budget. Because we’ve built trusted contacts over years.
The result? Travel with meaning. Where you enjoy without guilt. Where everyone wins: you, locals, the planet.
That’s perfect travel. Not a race against time, but an adventure that transforms you.
No more “if only I had known” regrets. With us, you know.

Why Discover Colombia with Tomplanmytrip
3 main reasons.
TRAVEL SMARTER
Spending your trip taking selfies at the most famous spots in a country isn’t really traveling.
Due to social media, we want to see everything at once. Every day, I receive itineraries from travelers trying to fill their 3 weeks with the top 10 places in Colombia.
These travelers will only see the bus or airplane seat right before their noses.
With Tomplanmytrip, we’re trying to change that.
We’ve divided the country into 12 sub-regions to decide which areas of Colombia you want to visit. In each of our guides, we recommend a minimum duration to enjoy each place fully.
Our goal?
Ensure you can travel more slowly while enjoying an extraordinary journey without boredom.
MEANINGFUL TRAVEL
Let’s be honest.
Traveling has a negative impact on the planet: mass tourism and pollution.
But that doesn’t mean everything is as black as a Pierre Soulages painting.
Traveling also allows us to meet new cultures, broaden our perspectives, and change the daily lives of families with far fewer opportunities than we have.
Traveling with purpose means minimizing negative effects and maximizing positive ones.
How to do it?
- Many destinations in Colombia are opening up to tourism. And believe me, they are even more spectacular than Cartagena, Guatapé, or Valle de Cocora. We strive to add as many of these destinations as possible to our site. So don’t hesitate to go off the beaten path instead of where everyone else goes!
- On our regional maps, you’ll easily see all the interesting destinations. Try to choose a region that particularly attracts you so you can travel as much as possible by bus instead of hopping on planes.
- Book directly with locals so they can benefit more from their tourist activities. With Tomplanmytrip, we try to apply the zero-intermediary rule as much as possible.
- Book with local agencies that respect the environment. These agencies are aware of tourism’s impact on the planet and implement solutions to address it, such as waste management policies.
Travel Differently
Every traveler expects something different from their trip. You’ll probably have a great time following the classic 3-week itinerary in Colombia. But wouldn’t it be even better to organize a 100% personalized adventure?
On Tomplanmytrip, you’ll find many “inspiration articles” to help you plan a trip with a particular theme. It could be waterfalls, coffee, beaches, dancing, hiking, history, etc.
How Do We Source Our Experts and Information?
We have been traveling in Colombia since 2015, and Thomas lives in Colombia with Alejandra, his wife.
1- We analyze an area with tourism potential.
2- We select local agency profiles that interest us (foreign languages spoken, types of activities offered, recommendations from other partners…) and then contact them to test their services.
3- If the service is of high quality and the business is legally constituted, we add them to the site.
When we test a potential partner’s services, we always pay at least the operational costs of the experiences we participate in. This ensures we are free to recommend them or not, without feeling indebted. Our opinion is never biased.
We create travel guides only for destinations we are very familiar with. We also conduct active online research and verify all details with our experts in each city.
We only recommend accommodations in places we have visited. This way, we know the atmosphere of the city or village and the different neighborhoods we talk about.
Next, we spend dozens of hours studying the reviews of the highest-rated accommodation to synthesize the information and propose places with varying prices and atmospheres.
