An amazing tour - We had such a wonderful time on the Bogotá City Tour, and it was truly made special by Emilio and Hector. Emilio was an amazing tour guide so warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about Bogotá. He made us feel welcome from the very beginning and shared the city’s history and culture in such an interesting and enjoyable way. You can really tell he loves what he does, and that made the whole experience even more meaningful.
A big thank you as well to Hector, our driver, who was so kind and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire tour. Everything was smooth, relaxed, and well organized thanks to both of them.
We’re so grateful for such a memorable experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bogotá. Thank you, Emilio and Hector, for making our day so special!

City tour with Gerald! Like touring with a friend! - I had a tour of Bogotá with Gerald and honestly it was one of the highlights of my trip. What stood out right away was how real and down to earth he is. It didn’t feel like a typical scripted tour at all. He was flexible, let me explore different spots, and tailored things based on what I was interested in.
It genuinely felt like I was just out with a friend who knows the city well. He’s easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and I felt completely safe the entire time, even navigating through busy areas.
If you’re looking for a more authentic, relaxed experience instead of a rigid tour, I would highly recommend Gerald. Great guy and a great way to see Bogotá.

Amazing family experience - What a wonderful way to start our journey in Colombia! Nataly was super sweet and knowledgeable. My kids (7 and 10) took to her immediately and she rolled with us through some sister squabbles and stops for lunch, ice cream, taking pictures with alpacas, etc. My only advice for others is to be aware of the time and talk with your guide about any preferences (we made several stops and almost ran out of time to see the museo del oro— but that’s on us!). 💯 recommend! Thank you Nataly!

Amazing day! - My experience was fantastic! Everything was perfect organized. Carlos, the driver arrived on time and we had a great conversation about key moments of the Colombian history. My guide, Sarai, was amazing and a pleasure to be with. She is passionate about her work and her she had a deep knowledge of Bogota and its artistic heritage. It was a long day but worth every minute. Whoever is considering this tour…book away! You won’t regret it.

Highly Recommend - This was a wonderful tour! Great experience for us as a family of 3. Our guide was very informative and helpful and we enjoyed getting to see some areas of Bogota only the locals would know. We decided to do the Monserrate on our time, so the day included everything except that.

Fun and Informative tour of Medellin - Andrés gave us a tour that included seamless pickup and drop off. He is relaxed and professional. Exciting ride to Montserrate and beautiful view followed by nice walk through the city to the gold museum. He gave a great talk through the museum and we had some excellent Colombian food and coffee after. Great day and we were ready for a siesta when we were done!

Excellent tour of Bogota and guide! - We were super grateful that this company could accommodate us for a city tour on super short notice. Rodrigo was our guide and he was one of our favourites of our whole trip. We enjoyed all the places we went, including montserrate, one of his favorite empanada stops from his college days, the Botero museum, Bolivar square and many many churches. He had fascinating perspecive on churches and their role in society and we were lucky to benefit from his own personal interest in fine art touring the Botero museum. As STEM graduates from Canada in our 30s/40s, we had a lot in common and enjoyed Rodrigo's perspective and learning about his lifestyle. Highly recommended!!!
