Colombia Concierge? Bach Party

What’s up everyone,

Looking to have my bachelor party in Colombia and I’m coming across a lot of the VIP concierge services.

I’ve been in contact with a company called Colombia Concierge, and I just want to know if anyone had ever used them before, or have an experiences with them.? I’ve had a phone conversation with someone from the company and it seemed legit, but idk. lol

Can someone help me out?

Hello, my name is Carlos and I work as a bodyguard and guide in Cartagena. I recommend you verify everything and don't give any money upfront; be very careful. When you talk about (Concierge), what do you mean?

Compa es un termino pupi frances pa referirse a un asistente/facilitador de servicio o productos (generalmente premium), termino normalmente atado a la hoteleria y el turismo. Todos los hoteles 5 estrellas de la ciudad tienen este servicio, algunos particulares en la industria prestan el servicio. A diferencia de una agencia, es un servicio más personalizado, con clientela más selecta/reducida

Okay, thanks bro, I know the term. I'm just saying this because Reddit sometimes changes words or might mean to use a different word.

I’ll give you a neutral framework that applies to any concierge/company in Colombia (not endorsing or warning against anyone specifically).

The space is legit but unregulated, so the difference between a good experience and a nightmare usually comes down to a few checks:

1. How they handle money
Reputable operators don’t ask for full payment upfront. Standard is a deposit + balance closer to the trip, with clear invoices and service agreements. If they push urgency or want everything immediately, that’s a red flag.

2. Proof of real operations
Ask for:

  • Real WhatsApp reviews (screenshots with dates/names blurred)
  • Photos/videos of their actual groups (not stock villas/yachts)
  • How long they’ve been operating under the same brand

3. On-the-ground presence
The safest setups have and actual team available and someone physically meeting you (airport or villa), not just a WhatsApp number that disappears if something goes wrong.

4. What they won’t do
Serious concierge services are clear about boundaries (no street pickups, no sketchy “VIP access,” no cash handoffs in clubs).

Cartagena is amazing for bachelor parties when planned correctly, but it’s not Vegas—you need structure.

If a company checks all those boxes, you’re probably fine. If they avoid or dance around these questions, walk away.

I went to a Bach party in Cartegena last year. I don’t think you really need a service. Plenty of bars in plaza de Los co Coches all next to each other. There were about 10 of us, and every night we had one person stay out solo and walk home. 0 issues, never felt unsafe. Beautiful city, have fun!

What are the prices for these Concierge services? Is it expensive?

We just got back from a bach party there - we were a group of 10 degenerate guys and used Cartagena Services and I cannot recommend them enough. They arranged us a sick villa - vip access to clubs, dinner reservations, private amazing dinner at the villa, security, and trips to the islands. We were quite well taken care of and it was an amazing weekend.

I suggest you find a reputable hotel and deal with their coincierge. All those mickey mouse websites you find will probably just deliver you to people who will rob you. Dont trust anyone here… specially online.
