Unmissable activity - I absolutely recommend the tour to appreciate and learn about Colombian history and culture. I loved that the tour included fruit, chocolate and coffee tastings! Our Guide Nataly was very prepared and ready to answer all our curiosity; it was also a nice moment to discuss the situation of our respective countries.

Free walking tour - I had a fantastic experience during the Bogotá tour, especially exploring the Candelaria district. Lizeth was an exceptional Guide, offering lots of curiosities and useful tips on what to see on your own and where to eat. It revealed many secrets of Bogotá and Candelaria, making the tour truly unique. His knowledge of local history and culture enriched every step of the way, and his English was clear and easy to understand, making the experience accessible and enjoyable even for non-Spanish speakers. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the authentic heart of Bogotá, with a personal and knowledgeable touch.

Great Family Experience - Liz is an excellent guide and the experience is both informative and enjoyable. We went as a family of four with two teenagers and we found out a lot about the history of Bogota. The kids especially liked fruit tasting. We also enjoyed coffee lecture and tasting and just to say- we’ll drink our coffee a lot more mindfully now on.

Comprehensive tour with lots to experience - Great way to see a vivid part of Bogotá and learn about the history, culture, and politics of the city and country. Sample the local fruit and coffee, and walk through the markets and side streets of La Candelaria to see beautiful artwork, churches, and historical buildings whilst taking in the views of the surrounding hills. Our host was informative, entertaining and happy to answer questions. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about the area, city and country.

Chill walking tour with Yvonne! - Very interesting information about the colonial history of La Candelaria, about coffee, coca and more. She also gives you tips to scroll around with ease when you are on your own. The tour gives you a good incentive to delve more into the country's rich and complex history. I recommend it! :)
