Luis Felipe was our driver but also our guide. We were going to be in the outskirts of Bogotá all day and from there directly to the airport. He helped us coordinate schedules, gave us advice, and told us a lot about the culture, the people, the history, and the places in that wonderful country. It was lucky to have met him.
Hola Ana, Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia y por sus palabras tan amables. Fue un verdadero placer acompañarlas durante ese día tan especial. Cuando una visita a las afueras de Bogotá termina directamente en el aeropuerto, organizar bien los tiempos es fundamental para poder disfrutar el recorrido con tranquilidad. Me alegra saber que los consejos y la planificación les permitieron conocer la Catedral de Sal sin estar pendientes del reloj y llegar al aeropuerto a tiempo. También disfruté mucho nuestras conversaciones durante el trayecto. Para mí, una parte importante de recibir viajeros en Colombia es poder compartir no solo la historia de nuestros lugares, sino también aspectos de nuestra cultura, nuestra gente y la vida cotidiana del país. Muchas gracias por la confianza. Me alegra mucho que su encuentro con Colombia haya comenzado de una manera tan positiva, y espero que se lleven muy buenos recuerdos de este viaje. Un cordial saludo, Luis Felipe Fundador y Guía Principal Bogota Driver Guide Service

Estimado Rodrigo, Muchas gracias por tomarse el tiempo de compartir su experiencia. Me alegra saber que valoró la puntualidad, la comodidad del transporte y el conocimiento compartido durante su visita a la Catedral de Sal de Zipaquirá. Aprecio especialmente su comentario sobre la flexibilidad del servicio. Cada viajero tiene intereses, ritmos y expectativas diferentes, por lo que siempre procuro adaptar la experiencia al tiempo disponible y a las preferencias de cada grupo. Creo que las mejores excursiones son aquellas que permiten disfrutar cada lugar sin prisas innecesarias y con la tranquilidad de contar con una logística bien organizada. Fue un placer acompañarlos durante esta visita a uno de los destinos más emblemáticos de los alrededores de Bogotá. Muchas gracias por su confianza. Un cordial saludo, Luis Felipe Fundador y Guía Principal Bogota Driver Guide Service

Me alegra saber que disfrutaron no solo del recorrido, sino también de las conversaciones sobre la cultura, la historia y la realidad actual de Colombia.

Luis picked us up from our Chapinero hotel for a visit to Zipaquirá. Arrived on time and communicated well in advance of the trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversation there and back - about life in Bogota and futbol of course. We would certainly contact Luis for future travels to Bogota. Recommend him 100 %.

We had the pleasure of traveling with Luis from Bogotá to Zipaquirá, with a stop at Andrés Carne de Res on the way back to our hotel in Bogotá. Luis deserves a full 5/5 stars! The car was comfortable, and his driving was smooth and safe. Luis was incredibly friendly, open-minded, and shared so much fascinating information about the country and its people during the journey. We asked him countless questions, and he always had an insightful answer. He even took care of making our restaurant reservation for us. If you’re visiting Bogotá and need a driver for day trips or even just to get around the city, we highly recommend Luis. His English is excellent, making communication effortless. An outstanding experience overall!
