Great experience in Bogota - I really enjoyed the tour. We walk through the important sites of the city center and the Candelaria. The Diana guide is excellent. She is a well-prepared professional and knows very well the history and geography of Bogotá. We went to a good step that allowed us to take pictures and buy delicacies from Colombia.
