Great entry to Bogotá - Luis was a fantastic guide who was very generous with his time and his knowledge. We had a wonderful day visiting Monserrate and then walking through La Candelaria. It was a great overview and insight into Bogotá on our first day in Colombia. Would highly recommend!

Must try - We booked the 7H tour and it was completely worth the experience. Our driver Cesar Vasquez was friendly on the trip from our hotel and back. Our guide Katherine Moreño was informative and showed us to sites that we could have missed without a guide. Highly recommend taking this tour.

Amazing tour - This was a great tour, not too long and very informative. In our case, it was a private tour as it was only the two of us. The guide picked up from the hotel. He was very informative and friendly. He showed us as much as possible in half a day and gave us tips for when exploring alone. We started with Monserrate, the view was amazing and it was very quiet in the morning. Then we walked around the main squares and museums of La Candelaria learning about the history of the city and Colombia. We tasted local coffee and sweets. It was a really great and safe way to explore the old town. We stayed in the city centre after the tour finished to explore a bit more. I would highly recommend this tour!

Great Experience - First of all Andres was my tour guide and he was absolutely amazing. He was on time and ready to go as he said he would be. He explained the itinerary before we started on our journey and had everything in order as we went throughout the day. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Bogota and even wanted to slow down because he thought he was overwhelming me with information. I thought he did a phenomenal job and I would gladly book again and with him and this company again in the future.
