An overview of the experiences we create for agencies and companies looking for thrills and unforgettable moments.

"During the debrief with the customer, he confirmed that it was a success for them and the participants. For your information, here's the result of their in-house satisfaction questionnaire.

The customer told us that it's the first time they've had "Exceeded expectations" so they're delighted 😊 In total, we got 4.5/5.

On my side, we had already spoken but on the organization and exchanges side, nothing to complain about, it was a pleasure to work with you and a big thank you for your availability, professionalism and availability."

"I've come back totally delighted! Not only of the destination, but of Tucaya's services in general, the planning with you was efficient, flexible, I'm thinking among other things of the flag made by an artist at a few days notice, a great solution you offered me! It wasn't easy to find a last-minute option for the group who wanted to spend one last evening together on Sunday, but you found it, and that last evening was memorable for everyone.

I'll be working hard to convince other groups to travel to Colombia, just to be able to work with your team again."
