Husband and wife touring Bogotá - Great full day of sightseeing. Ivonne was an excellent tour guide - friendly, knowledgeable and full of great information and recommendations to make sure we enjoyed our time in Bogotá. We wish we were in town longer to reserve more tours with Ivonne.

Fantastic First Journey Through the Culture of Bogota - If variety is the spice of life, then this tour is red-hot chili peppers. Our guide Maria Lorena shared her knowledge, personal experiences and enthusiasm for Bogota, weaving together the Gold Museum, fruit market, Márquez Cultural Cente, Botero artwork, coffee tasting and more. Lorena did a particularly awesome job at the Gold Museum where she focused on specific works, explaining their cultural, historical and technological significance. The presentation included relevant images on her mobile phone--a great enhancement to the narrative. The tour ran smoothly, and the pace of the walking was comfortable. We were delayed about an hour returning to our hotel so you might want to consider Bogota rush hour when picking the time of your tour.

You must take this tour if you come to Bogota! - Excellent experience!. Our tour guide Lizeth was amazing, very professional and helpful. The walk in the Candelaria, the Botero Museum, the Gold Museum and the Monserrate views were out of this World.

The best tour guide….fun and trustworthy - Stephen is the best tour guide—hands down. At first, you meet him and you think he is just an average local….but he is a very smart young man. He is passionate about Colombian culture and loves giving his guests the best experience. I hope the next time I book, that it’s with Stephen!

Wonderful Experience w/Jorge! - We had a wonderful tour and experience with our guide Jorge! He was super nice, knowledgable, and took great pictures! We went all over the city, Jorge taking us down streets with beautiful murals and having us try wonderful food and coffee. Monserrate was the highlight of Bogota for us. We definitely recommend!

The perfect way to discover Bogota main atractions - Lorena was my guide for the day and i could not asked for more. We started the walking tour with indoor museums like the Gold and Botero museums because it was raining. After dat Lorena showed me some hidden gems where to have lunch and after a delicious desert. We finished the trip going to Montserrat with a sort of a cable car and by then the rain was over and i made some amazing pictures. I recommend this walking tour 100% but be advised that you need to have a minimum fitness to be able to walk in total 6-7 km not always on even ground

Andres made Bogota great - Andres is a great guide. He made little changes according to what interested me most—hot chocolate with cheese instead of coffee, extra time in the Gold Museum, etc. Andres speaks extremely good English, better than most English speakers. When I return to Bogota, I will be using Andres as a guide if possible.
