Marcela - amazing guide - Marcela was an amzing guide - she did not only showed us Sal Cathedral, but also a nice and tasty place to eat after the trip. Guide is fluent in english, answers all the questions and creates very friendly atmosphere. As a local, she knows a lot - not only about the place you visit, but also about the country's political and social system. Highly recommended!

Great day trip with friend to Salt Cathedral and Monserrate - Me and my friends spent great whole day traveling to Salt Cathedral and later visiting Monserrate itself, by visiting local marketplace there and experiencing sunset from the top of the hill.
Local Tours Colombia guide Marcela showed exceptional care about us, organized transport, helped with money exchange, suggested best food place for lunch, gave many more advices what else can be seen in Bogota and answered thousands of questions we asked. Next day we enjoyed Bike and Graffiti tour suggested by guide Marcela.
Wish all the best to Local Tours Colombia and many thanks for letting us to experience Bogota the way we would not happen to see by our self.
