5+ Stars! - Daniel was amazing! There's nothing better than having a tour guide who loves their country. Daniel was extremely knowledgeable about each stop as well as things we would pass on the way. From the food, coffee, and farming, to the culture, art, and nature. I learned so much from him and fell in love with not just La Candelaria, but Colombia and all of its beauty.

Best tour on town since Simon Bolivar - The tour trough old downtown was absolutely Worth it. We got an amazing guide that show me and my gf the different cultural and historical sites of the city. He really knew his sh*t, he knew every little bite of fun facts and important events making the tour more vivid and interesting.
They really have a way to make you feel the city vibes, understand their culture and be integrated with the locals in fun activities.
If you’re in town I would hands down recommend them, the tours are very affordable but the guides truly earn those tips witch for the price of the tour I was happy to tip them for their hard work and vivid way to show you the city 🤘🏽
