First time in Bogota and I am pleased we booked this tour. We spent a wonderful day with our guide Camilio touring the La Candelaria district. His English is excellent and during the tour he shared a mix of history and current life in Bogota. The tour included trying a Colombian specialty of hot chocolate with cheese. We were a bit skeptical, but it was surprisingly delicious! We also rode the gondola up Monserrate to enjoy beautiful views of the city. Camilio is very knowledgeable about his city and is an excellent guide.
