Very nice way to quickly learn the history of Bogota and La Candeleria - A very informative tour with a nice young guide Juan?). Learned a lot about the history of Bogota and Colombia, and fun to explore the La Candeleria district in half a day. Unfortunately we left Bogota the next day, otherwise I would have liked to do the Graffiti tour with Gran Colombia Tours.

Great way to ease into Bogota - This was a great introduction for someone who has never been to Bogota. Learned some things and got to see some historical things. It was a nice little walking tour. The guide was very good and I’m so sorry. I forgot his name. It was a 2 PM tour on November 22 but he was ex.

First Day in Bogota - The thought the tour with Yvonne was very interesting and informative without being boring. We are from Scotland and the other people were from Florida which made for interesting conversations

La Candalaria is a beautiful part of Bogota - This tour was on New Year’s Day so my review may not apply universally. There were 35 people on the tour. Many had not signed up in advance. But the guide took them anyway. We should have been split into two groups. It’s a noisy city and, with 35 people, it was often difficult to hear the guide. She presented the history quite well but on the whole her narrative was impersonal and lacked emotion, particularly compared to tours we’ve taken in Cartagena and Medellin. La Candalaria is beautiful and this tour is worth taking, but with a smaller group.
