5 Stars – Excellent Tour with Alejandro in Bogotá - We had a fantastic tour with Alejandro, visiting the Museo del Oro and Monserrate in Bogotá. Alejandro was both knowledgeable and spirited — his energy and passion for Colombian history made the experience truly memorable. His deep understanding of the artifacts and stories in the Museo del Oro brought the exhibits to life in a way that was both enriching and engaging. At Monserrate, he balanced insightful commentary with just the right touch of humor and charm. Highly recommend Alejandro as a guide — he made our visit both educational and fun!

Monserrate & Gold Museum - Marcel and the driver was on time. Marcel is very knowledgeable, he went above and beyond our expectations. A value, Marcel is full of information to the city of Bogota, history, people. Monserrate and the Gold Museum is what we toured.

Spontaneity is the best way to see Bogota! - Our tour guide, Alex was amazing! He was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful. I was injured the night before our tour and he got me a wheelchair so I would be more comfortable. We would definitely hope to have him as our guide when we book more tours in the future.

High blow - It was not a satisfying experience from the first moment, because the height is a lot compared to Santiago (Chile), so it hits hard. If you can take precautions, do so (drink coke tea, or visit a place with height a few weeks before). In addition, the first days you have to walk lens to acclimate (go more than a week). The weather is nice, although the traffic (quiet) is horrible, although avoidable. There is a lot of street dwellers who ask for money (older people, adults and children), so they will be faced with this situation on a recurring basis. Unfortunately, there are not many vegan options. And even, it happened to me in three places, there is a confusion between vegan and vegetarian, because they use the concept “veggie” for both. People in general are VERY attentive and willing to help.

Beautiful church. Guide’s English needs improvement - The church is very impressive and the views spectacular. Our guide’s English was weak and while driving the guide and the driver were in near continuous conversation in Spanish. Normally on tours like this guide would be giving us background on areas we were passing through or on the stop ahead.
