Knowledgeable and engaging! - Our tour guide, Leslie, was awesome. She shared so much knowledge with us at each stop in an approachable engaging way. I really enjoying learning so much about Bogota and Colombia’s history. I found myself relaying as much as I could remember to my colleagues who couldn’t make it. It was great value for the money and I highly recommend it.

If you want to get more than the Instagram picture, do this! - José was a welcoming and enthusiastic ambassador for Bogotá and Colombia, with impressive local knowledge of both ancient and modern history all described sensitively and yet proudly. The area itself is fascinating, but this tour brought it to life and revealed way more depth than you would otherwise appreciate. Do yourself a favour and book this.

Pretty good - For someone who knows little about Colombia or Bogotá, it is a good introduction. We had to leave 2/3 of the way through the tour to catch a plane. While we were there, the tour touched on local fruits, gold, coffee, and basic history. The difficulty was that the tour operator spoke very fast and with a thick accent. I am a good listener and tried to concentrate and understand, but I was only able to understand about half of what he was saying. And I am from New York, so I am used to people talking with accents. This was too much. It sounded like Spanish, not English.
