Excellent tour and guide - Melissa was an excellent guide! With lots of information about the place and curious facts, we loved the stories he told us. We went to the Botero Museum, which was beautiful and you can see in Melissa's great knowledge about art. Super recommended!

Excellent service and experience - On Saturday we spent a unique afternoon in the company of the guide Melisa a student girl of plastic arts but with a wide knowledge about gastronomy history architecture that perfectly complemented our experience in the city We are from Bogotá however as she said there is a lot of informal information that is handled in the city and she was in charge of giving the magic to each of the places we visited we started at the Quevedo Jet then explained quite a lot about the fruits that can be found in the Market Square later we passed through the house of the pola we passed through several museums our interest in Bogotá museum and again very updated with the information later we finished in Bolívar Square again recommend the service is excellent because they are comprehensive guides that make the experience much more enjoyable

Incredible Bogota Cultural Experience - We had a the best city tour in Bogota! Our guide, Esteban, was just amazing - very thorough, culturally insightful, super efficient, accommodating, and a joy to be with on the tour. We hit so many places - the Gold Museum, the Candelaria/Old Town, the Botero museum, the Jaguar coffee tasting, walking around to see authentic/unique stores, etc. While we wanted a more foundational tour since it was our first time in Bogota, we also hoped to see some graffiti. Esteban was incredibly accommodating and made a point to stop at some graffiti highlights throughout the tour. We also went to some very cool stores to buy authentic pieces (graffiti art poster & club tops for our daughter, coffee for my husband, museum book tor me). We ended the tour in a new area to explore. We had lunch reservations at Andres D.C. and then Esteban told us how to find some local shops we wanted to visit. Overall, we all loved the tour and felt like it was a very special experience. We all highly recommend it!

Great human quality - I wanted to personalize a gynecana per chaperone, as a birthday gift. The people I had to talk to and the guide have been super friendly and nice, with a lot of willingness to help me make everything go well. Everything turned out great in the end. I very much appreciate your involvement in everything.

Superb tour of the La Candelaria area. - Our guide, Esteban, was delightful. Professional, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Bogota. He understood what we were looking to accomplish and made adjustments as necessary. Can’t recommend him or the tour highly enough.

Amazing 4 hour private tour - I had a few hours in Bogota and was treated to a great experience. Esteban, the guide was a source of learning on all aspects of Bogota and beyond. Monserate, the coffee and bite in a charming cafe in the old town, an understanding of history in the main square and even a tour highlighting the most significant displays at Museo del Oro

Special tour with special Joel - Joel is a truly excellent guide. An anthropologist academically, he shared fantastic insights on all aspects of Colombian life.
More importantly he is a warm and lovely guy with fantastic energy - which worked brilliantly in engaging with my 21 and 18 year old daughters.
His English is excellent but also spoke with my daughters and wife in Spanish.
We did the walking tour one day and then the biking around Bogota on the Sunday.
Both were excellent. The nice thing with the private tour is it’s totally flexible and Joel would give options and recommendations throughout including where to get the best coffee!
It really felt like we were meeting up with a friend who was showing us around, rather than a very rigid tour.
Thank you Joel for a very special experience and for showing us the true spirit of Bogota. Over the 4 days we enjoyed in Bogota we really fell in love with it and especially the people.
