Authentic Bogotá - One really gets an in-sight into a different side of life in Bogotá other than the touristic one. It has been a very enriching experience.

Time well spent at Mirador El Paraiso - The tour to El Parsiso with Autenticos Travel is a unique one and a must-go. We took cable car with David and walked the estate with John, our body guard. Both made us feel safe and welcome by the locals there. We were treated with yummy empanada and drinks. The most interesting is the visit to their social community and projects. Meeting the children and visit to their make-do centre. We even took part in painting their murals. This tour is really meaning! We gladly made a donation to fund the project for the children at the end of the tour.

Super fun tour in Bogotá - It was a fantastic tour, really enjoyed it. Very good organization, nice guide who tells and knows a lot and a security guard. Also the pick up and return was very much on time. The tour went through the district, which I really got a good idea of. And finally the view: beautiful. Recommend!

A different sort of tourism - This was the most incredible day. We so loved meeting these lovely guides David and Jhon and seeing the amazing work they are facilitating with the communities in el paraiso And maravillosa. We spoke to some of the residents and the children. The views are super too but the heart of this trip is in the warmth of the Community spirit and pride. We hope very much to keep in touch with these people and follow their incredible achievements. Thank you so much for letting us join you for a short time.

Great, smooth and accommodating experience - From start to finish, Jorge made my experience very smooth, arranging the driver to pick me up from the airport and dropping me off to the hotel, picking me up later from my hotel again and headed to the cable car station where the tour starts. At the cable car destination we meet the bodyguard who is from around the area. The scenery was amazing on the cable car ride to and back. Jorge showed me around the area and even showed me some new photo tricks! Overall, the experience was smooth, enlightening where he explained the background, and with good views as well. Everything was really seamless and punctual!

Perfect experience with an exceptional guide - It was a wonderful experience, everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The tour is beautiful and absolutely worth it. Jhon was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. He explained everything to us with great patience and enthusiasm, which made the whole experience even more special. Thank you for such kindness and dedication. I would recommend this tour to everyone. If we could give 10 stars, we definitely would. We are from Slovenia and Serbia, and this tour was truly one of the highlights of our trip ta Colombia ❤️❤️❤️

Don't Be Afraid of Visiting The South of Bogotá - To experience and understand Colombia, it all begins with understanding real people, their lives, history, art, culture, and struggles away from the well curated tourist spaces. This tour was warmly and expertly guided by David. It gives you a fantastic view of the city, but more than that, you will meet people doing grass roots community building on the outskirts of Bogotá and experience the genuine beauty of Colombia and its resilient people. Highly recommended!
