Candelaria at night

Incredible experience! Jorge was magnificent: a combination of a lot of history but also a lot of fun. We really enjoyed doing the tour at night: not only did we feel very safe, but one can appreciate the energy of La Candelaria 😊😎

Excellent Experience

Joel was outstanding and I would highly recommend him. He was personal and easily adjusted his delivery to what I was interested in learning. Joel had extensive knowledge of the country/city/history/culture/food. When I come back to Bogota- I will be calling Joel.

Brought the city, its history and culture to life

Adapted to my preferences, delivered with enthusiasm and peppered with unusual true facts and intriguing personal theories, the tour surpassed my expectations. By the time it was finished I felt I had learnt more in half a day about the capital city of this amazing country than I could have done by reading a pile of tour guides, novels or Google reviews.

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.

Great overview of Bogota

Esteban was excellent. He was very knowledgeable of culture, history and life in Bogota. Must do experience if you want a good understanding of the city.

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.
