Mesmerizing graffiti art in Bogota - This was a highly enjoyable and informative tour focusing on the wonderful graffiti art found in the Candelaria district of Bogota. My tour guide Camilla was courteous and professional and spoke excellent English. I was picked up at my hotel and driven to the district by a safe and skilled driver. The art work displayed was amazing and Camilla was well versed in the story behind each creation. I highly recommend this tour for tourists that love art and culture.

Disappointing Graffiti Tour Experience - The guide lacked enthusiasm and knowledge about the subject matter, and did not share captivating stories throughout the tour. It was a disappointing experience overall, and I cannot recommend it to those seeking a genuine and engaging exploration of street art.
