My first visit to Colombia - Leslie was a great guide for my private tour with hotel pickup. La Candelaria is a wonderful introduction to Bogota and a must-see. Colour, flavour, ambience, culture, music and dancing. It’s all there!

Bike neighborhoods in Bogota - Luis was a great guide. Got picked up at hotel which helps. Rode thru 3 neighborhoods. Mostly downhill and flat - short but serious uphill on the return. National park closed due to a protest which was unfortunate but not the tour company’s fault.

Take a walk around the history of Bogotá - Andrea provided a phenomenal experience for us. She walked us and commented on each significant place and their respective history. For myself, a native from Bogotá, it’s always magical when you can rediscover places that are part of home.

Wet but worth it - Good tour with Andreu. It started raining about 10 minutes into the tour and it rained the entire time. Despite the adverse conditions, Andreu did his best to keep us comfortable and share his vast knowledge of the Candalaria area. He shared a lot of history of the country in general and the Bogota region. We walked to many of the area highlights and had a delicious cup of coffee at a wonderful little cafe. He pointed out restaurants, coffee shops, etc that we might want to try on our own. Good tour.

Awesome experience! - The experience was amazing, and Mauricio and his driver were excellent. Mauricio was very flexible when we needed to adjust our start time back by two hours, and he was very knowledgeable as he showed us around. Touring Monserrate is a must, and the fast pass provided by the agency is also a must to skip the long lines! Only issue was payment at the end. The website would not accept our credit cards (we tried 3!) and ultimately needed to go to ATM to pay in cash… was not an ideal way to end an otherwise top notch experience!
