If you only have time for one tour, it's this one - My guide, Ivan, was fantastic in sharing about Bogota's stratification, political climate, history of the city and ciudad Bolivar. He had worked in the community before so hearing his personal insight provided was very enriching. He was very considerate in helping me navigate Transmilenio and the cable car. The tour guide, Bryan, once we arrived provided insights on three projects in ciudad Bolivar to improve the living conditions. It showcases continued investment into the city of $1M and ends the tour with hopefulness that more investment will continue to support this population. His mother's social enterprise to bring more awareness and positive (not poverty tourism) is incredible and shines a bright light on ciudad Bolivar. I felt safe the entire time, left with more thoughts and questions and recommend this tour as a must if you want to learn about the disparate wealth inequality and how the government has worked to address it in Ciudad Bolivar. The cable car itself is an excellent example of when government uses technology to successfully invest in improving the lives of its citizens, it's really amazing. Thank you for this tour

They didn’t show up - I showed up on time the day of the tour, paid a UBER to get there. By the way, I am g’ad I contacted them before I left for Colombia because they changed the meeting point but didn’t warn. No on was there when I got at the meeting point, I called them and they told me they cancelled the day before. I NEVER got a cancellation message of any form, not even in my spam folder. They sent a screenshot of a message they said they sent the day before on my gmail account, but sadly for them I don’t use gmail, my email is a hotmail. This operator made me waste my time and money, so please do yourself a favor and avoid booking with them.
