Super tour option - This tour was the best Nathalia our guide knows a lot about culture and history, she explained a lot to us and we really enjoyed each place we went to, the food was incredible especially because they are local places, you do have to be prepared to walk around at least 8 hours, as a suggestion, bring comfortable tennis shoes to last the entire tour, highly recommended

Great tour. Great guide - Lissett was a wonderful tour guide. She was considered of our needs, made sure that we saw all of the highlights, gave good explanations, and took us to four or five places to sample local cuisine. The tour was great and we highly recommend her as well

I can't recommend this tour enough - Yacqueline, our guide, was fantastic, so knowledgable, kind, friendly, interesting, funny, and so much fun. She genuinely loves her job, and it shows. She did a wonderful job of gauging her group's needs and was always flexible with us. She helped us form a great bond with each other that made the experience even better. It was a long, fabulous day, and we learned so much while trying all kinds of food (seriously, you definitely get your money's worth!). Don't miss this incredible chance at exploring Bogotá with such a great guide!

A must do upon arrival in Bogota - We did this tour today and it was fantastic! Yacqueline was our tour guide and she was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly. It’s a long day but you get to see so much and learn a lot about the city and history. It totally changed our opinion of the city after a less than stellar day previously. I would highly recommend doing this tour the first day you arrive. Although I would try to avoid doing it on weekends though. Candeleria is so busy and crowded. Doing this tour on a Monday was perfect. The group size was perfect, 8 people. Yacqueline speaks really great English.

Great way to experience Bogota culture! - We chose this tour in hopes of getting a quick overview of Bogota - it did not disappoint! Our group guide was Jackie (or Jacque?) and she took us through Candelaria, up Monserrate, to a local market and 2 local restaurants, and to both the gold and Botero museums. She was very knowledgable about her city (where she grew up) and we got to try some amazing Colombian foods (there were various menu options). Overall, we were very happy with this tour and thought it was the best way to experience Bogota.

To Experience and See As A Native - This was an awesome experience. I got a chance to eat some great food in Bogota; see the fruit market which was unbelievably awesome; go to the top of Monserrate (I was a little frightened at first, for I have a fear of heights), and was glad I did this event; the museo de oro was awesome, and just got to experience Colombia through the eyes of a native
