Exceptional Service - Our experience with this tour was outstanding from start to finish. After we had issues with our hotel and missed the tour on our first day, the team kindly rescheduled us without any hassle, which we truly appreciated. Our guide was incredibly accommodating, making sure everyone was comfortable, and his knowledge brought every stop to life. You could tell he genuinely cared about giving us a great experience. The combination of flexibility, professionalism, and insight made this tour unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a well-run and enjoyable experience!

Fun way to learn about Bogotá history, food, and culture - This is a delightful way to learn about Bogotá and it gets into the depth of history of Colombia. The tour guide was excellent-informative, patient, and personable. I really enjoyed learning about the old city and how it has transformed over the past centuries. Tips: bring a light jacket and an umbrella. It is customary to tip the tour guide if they provided a good experience (but not required at all). Check with your home country customs before buying anything food related to take home.

Historic walk through Candelaria - It was a nice walk through Candelaria with guide Christian. He has a great involvement with the history of Colombia and the Candelaria district of Bogota. So told a lot while hiking and that gave us insight into history, but also into present-day Colombia.
