Get off the well worn tourist trail and into South Bogota - Gets you off the well worn track and down to Southern Bogota.... the gondola lift on the way up and down is stunning. You also get to learn a bit about the neighbourhood. Do not miss this one.

Un gran aventura - I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and David was a great guide. My Spanish isn't strong, so David spoke Spanish slowly and clearly so that I could understand. English was available, but I was happy to practise Spanish David was knowledgeable about Colombia, Bogota, and el Barrio Paraíso. I appreciated the knowledge and insights that David provided. Because I was a solo traveler, we traveled to cable car station by motorcycle, which was a great adventure. David was a very safe and careful driver. The cable car ride and views from the top were amazing. Au the top, we met up with a kind resident of el Paraiso who shared some of his experiences. Overall, this was a great experience and David really cared about my comfort and about the people in the community. I highly recommend David as a tour guide.

Unique experience - We really enjoyed this tour because it was a unique experience visiting a different district of Bogota. The tour guide David and the security John took care of us all the time and we felt very safe. They also took us for some good snacks. The view from there was amazing. Recommends this tour.

A must do whilst in Bogotá - This has to be one of the best tours i have taken, it really leaves you with a bigger heart and an appreciation for being welcomed by the locals and especially John who you could see was so proud of all the work they have done so far. David my tour guide did such a great job with so much information and what plans they have for the future, it was also so nice to see where they had «movie» nights or activities for the children once a week. I have so much respect for the job and hard work you all are doing and you are such a blessing for the people and the community. All in all from the taxi pickup (Cesar was great) I can highly recommend this tour and a must do whilst in Bogotá, not just to take great photos but to learn more about the «behind the scenes» Colombia and such hard working people! 10 out of 10, Thanks again.

Life in the sky - This was the highlight of my trip to Columbia. The cable car opened in 2018 and now there is a commercial street high in the sky. Especially liked the recycle museum. And of course my guide David.
