Wonderful Tour Guide and Gentleman - I visited Bogota for a week and wanted to familiarize myself with the city. My son and his girlfriend arranged this for me- what a nice surprise! Henry is a very pleasant gentleman and his English is excellent. He is VERY knowledgeable about the history and told me as much about the people today as well as the past. By the time we stopped for lunch I considered him a friend. Of course, one day is not enough, but when I go back I will definitely contact him to show me more of this wonderful city!

We DID Bogotá in a day! - We only had one full day in Bogotá so we decided to do a private tour to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see and maximized our time. That is exactly what we got with Henry, we had a great, full day of sightseeing, learned interesting history and had a delicious lunch. Highly recommended!

Awesome Private Tour - I booked the 8 hour private tour for my family with 2 little kids (3 years and 8 months). Henry started promptly at the scheduled time and showed us all of the beautiful corners of Bogota. You can tell that he really enjoys showing tourists his city and he is extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of Colombia. He really loves his city and country. I will definitely have to come back to Bogota!
