Museo Nacional Tour - It provides a great supplement to one’s knowledge of the history and culture of Colombia. Raul brought it all togrether for me in an erudite, professional manner. He was also my guide for the spectacular Museo de Oro, where he earned my equal respect. Raul is totally fluent in English, altough I preferred Spanish to develop my skills in that langage. He is one of the most impressive tour guides I have met. Warren Hunt

Incredible visit to the museum! - The tour was excellent! The Andrea guide is spectacular! The collection of almost three hours in the museum next to Andrea allowed me to know more about the history of Chile, not only by the explanations of what we went through in the museum, but also by the dialogues about politics, economy, society! Loved everything! A car picks us up from the hotel to the museum, where the guide is waiting for us. The museum is very large, very interesting, and really, an attraction that one should not miss when visiting Bogotá, as it is a good place to know more about the country. I was also surprised that the museum has temporary exhibitions on modern subjects, when I went there was a very interesting exhibition on graffiti!

National Museum of Bogota - Our guide, Andrés was great. Speaks good German and English. We recommend him with pleasure! Super entry into the diverse history and culture of Colombia and if you have just arrived in Bogotá, and still a bit tired from the changeover, a very leisurely tour. Thanks
