Walking tour of the Candelaria

Esteban was our guide and gave us a great walking tour of the Candelaria neighborhood, including a nice view of the city along the way, as well as coffee tasting and a few museums. He was very knowledgeable about the buildings, history and details of the area. The 5 hours went by very quickly. He was also very flexible about where we wanted to go and stop. We would recommend hisbtour for a short trip to see the main sights in the historical city center.

Operator response

Dear Sightseeing Thank you very much for taking the time to write us your opinion, it is very valuable for us. We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with Esteban as your guide. La Candelaria is such a vibrant neighborhood, and it’s fantastic to know that you enjoyed the mix of history, architecture, museums, and coffee tasting, all tailored to your interests. Esteban takes great pride in sharing his knowledge and ensuring that each tour is both informative and flexible, so we’re happy you found it so enjoyable. Thank you for recommending the tour, and we hope to welcome you back to explore even more of Bogotá in the future! We send you our best wishes!

Great Private Tour for Family with Young Kids

We took a private tour of La Candelaria and Museo de Oro with Hansa Tours. It was extremely easy to set up via WhatsApp (thanks Michaela!) and the private van and driver were courteous and safe. Maria Quintero was a knowledgeable and kind tour guide. She did an excellent job of striking a good balance between parent history buffs and kids 7 and 4 who were more interested in feeding the pigeons at Plaza Bolívar. She catered to us all and arranged for us to have yummy and substantial refreshments to keep us going through the long walk. We particularly enjoyed the fruit market, La Pola’s house, the pigeons at the Plaza, the Catedral Primada, and (the highlight) the Museo de Oro. Kids were really into the museum and asking lots of questions. Thank you Maria for a lovely introduction to Bogota!

Operator response

Dear Atauba, Thank you very much for taking the time to write us your opinion, it is very valuable to us. We are glad that you were able to enjoy so many aspects of the city. We are glad to hear that Michaela, Maria Paula and the driver met all your expectations in service and that made this a great tour. We hope you return soon to our city. Thank you for recommending us. We send you our best wishes!

A Great Tour Guide for Bogata

We had a great private tour with Juan Fernando. He was very knowledgeable about the past and present day Colombian history and change. We went to a city park to view a topographical map, walked about historical parts of the city, went to some interesting markets, toured the Gold musuem and more. We highly recommend Jaun Fernando. He speaks excellent english.

A Great Historical tour

This was a pretty good tour through every corner of historical Bogotá, Sebastián was an excellent guide and knew pretty well his way around the history of this city. I really liked the tour around the museum of Botero and the MAMU, I learned a lot about art and the configuration of the heart of the city. Even though Bogotá rained on us, the tour guide didn't let it stop us from having a great time and learn about the museum of gold, the great places to have coffee and the chorro of Quevedo where Bogotá was born, all in all, it was a cool experience and I would definitely do it again.

Operator response

Dear, Daniela Thank you very much for taking the time to write us your opinion, it is very valuable to us. Thank you for trusting us to provide you with this tour to La Candelaria and Museums; are places full of magic and history. It's great to know that Sebastian did an excellent job and that his company and knowledge were a plus in the experience. We hope you return soon to our city. We send you our best wishes

Amazing experience

It was an amazing experience around Bogota's historical downtown, We had the opportunity to visit different museums such as Botero's museum and the Golden museum, where our guide, Oscar, gave us a wonderful description of the history and techniques used to have the native communities. Also, we could walk around la Candelaria, a very popular and traditional neighborhood, where Oscar told us about the history of the city and different types of architecture styles. Highly recommended.

Operator response

Dear, Pcuadr Thank you very much for taking the time to write us your opinion, it is very valuable to us. We are very happy that our guide Oscar has made your trip much better with his knowledge and service. The most important thing for us is that our customers have the best image of Colombia and Bogotá and we're pleased to know that we're achieving our goal. We hope you return soon to our city. We send you our best wishes

Great two days touring Bogota with Daniel!!

We spent two days touring Bogotá with our guide Daniel. It was an absolutely fabulous way to see the city. There were eight of us all one family. So we were able to direct a private agenda. Daniel picked us up at the hotel in a very large and very comfortable air-conditioned van. He had a chauffeur with him so he could concentrate on giving us real insight to what we were seeing. We visited Montserrat and the old town including the graffiti areas. We went to the Gold Museum and a Sunday Flea market. We visited a fruit and vegetable market in central Bogota. Daniel took us to lunch at a wonderful restaurant which we all thoroughly enjoyed. The second day he helped us by fruits, vegetables, and street food in the central food market. Our agenda was fully flexible and we adjusted as we liked on the fly. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend anyone visiting Bogota to tour with Daniel and the Hansa agency! Superb and definitely worth the money!!

Super cool, historic, cosmopolitain! You should do it!

My family (two young adults and one teen) and I did this wonderful tour and saw a wonderful part of an amazing city, We saw great museums, the capital infrastructure and historic churches as you would expect on a tour like this. However, our guide Nicholas made the time experiential because of his familiarity with the local art scene that is off the beaten path and familiarity with hyper local coffee shops and restaurants. This made it feel like visiting someone's super cool, historic, cosmopolitain neighborhood and not just a historic tour. Great experience. I highly recommend it!
