I recommend! - Lorena was my guide. She started the day being kind to pass me a new location because I was late in transit. And from then on it was interesting, helpful, careful and shared a lot of knowledge. If I had done the same script without her, I would have lost a lot of information! I highly recommend this tour, which was also gastronomically delicious!

Best introduction to Bogota - Great way to get introduced to Bogota. The views of the city from Monserrate are amazing, but to me the highlight of the tour is the walk through the Candelaria neighborhood. Liz our guide was very knowledgeable and made the experience very enjoyable. The food tasting were a special touch.

Centro Histórico Tour - The tour pushed through even though I was the only participant. I couldn't ask for a better guide than Andrea who could explain very well in both English and Spanish, per my request, and answer my questions. I highly recommend this tour if you're pressed for time and want to see the highlights of the historical centre (Montserrate, La Candelaria, Botero, and Plaza Bolivar) and sample the typical dishes, coffee, and coca tea.

Grateful Bogota half-day. - Another great tour organized by Diego with Melissa A. as highly qualified guide and Santiago as most capable driver. Started with express access to Monseratte via cable car with minimal morning crowds followed by architecture and art in Lacadlearia and Botero museum. Ended in Bolivar Square to observe a national event. Highly recommend!
