Very nice and private tour that I recommend a lot - Very nice and complete tour. They offer you an exclusive experience (small group, or solo as in my case), which is perfect because you have close contact with the guide, and then you can enjoy their explanations, adjust your experience at your will (of course with reasoning), and get a private tour. During the tour, they’re constantly asking for feedback about the activities, so be honest so that the staff can solve any issue related to the activity and provide you a great and flexible experience. They are very attentive: enjoy that. Dont have a breakfast before going to this tour! They will provide you exquisite and delicious fruits (it depends on your tastes, ok?!) and meat for the breakfast, with typical colombian food (included in the tour). Remember: Colombian dishes are large, so prepare to eat a lot. I consider this tour very complete and dynamic, since we eat a lot of colombian (and good) food, go to famous places (Botero and Oro Museums, Monserrate (with fast pass!! really important info), la candelaria neighborhood), and nice places such as local markets, and places where you can buy some gifts and sculptures and drink colombian coffee (all included in the ticket). The transportation is nice and comfortable. The staff is punctual and organized. The staff knows a lot about the history and geopolitics of Bogota and Colombia in general, so they provide you with valuable information. I strongly recommend this activity, and enjoy!

If you want to truly learn about Bogotá and the Colombian culture, take this tour! - We had a private tour with Felipe and Alejandro. Felipe is very knowledgeable about the city of Bogotá and you can feel his passion for it and its history. Due to an injury just before our trip to Colombia, we had to modify the tour and Felipe and Alejandro were very accommodating. We did not feel like we missed out on anything! We enjoyed tasting the food, meeting the people, exploring the neighborhoods, visiting the museums and sights, and learning about the rich culture and history of this diverse city and country. We highly recommend this tour. You will learn so much!

Quality is not taken by accident - The most important thing was the personal attention. A lot of emphasis was placed on detail. We were able to go easy and accommodate unique experiences when carrying our young children. Of the best experiences with a tour guide of my life.

Amazing Full Day Tour of Bogota - Luis was a terrific tour guide for our short trip to Bogota. We experienced much of the city (saving time through Luis’ knowledge of museum closures + fast passes); we ate wonderful food and had excellent conversations. We would not have had nearly the same experience if wandering on our own, and highly recommend Luis’ services especially if you want to orient yourself to the city and its history quickly. Thank you Luis for an awesome first day in Bogota!

Great Bogota Tour - First Class! - Great day tour of Bogota - Luis is an excellent guide and his SUV was very clean and perhaps brand new. I had been to Bogota before and still got to experience and learn a number of new things - Luis' knowledge and passion for the country is off the charts! Highlight for us was the Farmers Market, where we got to try a bunch of food and fruits that are not grown in North America - plus the hustle and bustle would have been too chaotic navigating on our own. Overall, a very unique local experience!

What a great experience - My husband and I arrived to Bogota for a wedding late in the afternoon. By chance, this company had an opening for the next day for a full day tour of Bogota. What I enjoyed the most was how personalized everything. Very professional and detailed. Communication was perfect, and I love how much they love their city.
