Bogotá tour La Candelaria - I enjoyed the tour, which was arranged by my hostel. It was an interesting tour and I liked that it was a small group. Luis knows a lot about the places and the country's history and presents it in an interesting way. He also had tipps and ideas to other activities. I first thought the price might be a bit high but given the experience in a small group, it was okay.

Canadians on a food tour with “Nick” - We spent an entertaining 4 hours with Nick as he guided us through the Candelaria area of Bogotá. He was energetic , friendly and explained everything in a very engaging way. We tested some amazing fruits, Chicha, unique coffees, coca tea and our favourite the hot chocolate with cheese and bread. The time went by so fast we were sad to see it end. He was generous in his help and suggestions so the rest of our experiences in Bogota were as good. Thank you for everything:)

First class recommendation and super competent guide - It was definitely worth it. Lifred was a super competent guide, He really knew a lot about the city and also a lot of little things where you might not have heard about it on other tours. I was extremely pleased. Lifred is personally also a very nice person
