Unforgettable experience in Bogotá - Our tour guide Martha and driver Jeider were excellent. Even though we had only 4 hours, we were able to see the popular sights of Bogotá and the art in the city. They also had a deep knowledge of the city. We learned a lot about Bogotá and Colombia.

An experience to renew, a country to explore - We were accompanied by Gildardo (GIGIO) who introduced us to his city and country and we had a great time. GiGio shared with us the love of his country so much that we think we will return for a longer stay.

Top recommended: super kind guide Raúl and perfect tour - Our tour guide Raúl made the tour perfectly arranged and personalized at the same time. I am very impressed by how productive this tour is and how much can be done in a 6-hour layover. We visited many places in a well arranged walking tour of the historical area. Raúl showed us the highlights at the museums (including Gold Museum, Botero Museum, and more) and enriched the exhibitions with the history of Colombia. We also drove around and see different sections of the city, where Raúl had engaging conversations on the different street views we see. Raúl also made the tour flexible and well prepared by having plan A and B and Cs in hand. When having extra time at the end, Raúl even accommodated our requests to see additional places. He absolutely knew the best places for food and drinks that we wanted to try: took us to juices of new fruits in a market, the best empanadas in a local flea market, and a trendy coffee shop in an artistic area. I am also deeply touched by Raúl’s good heart. This is a rare find as a good tour guide can be a great representative of the city for visitors. It was heartfelt when he told us emotionally about past stories of bullfighting, and when he kindly helped people on the street. Thank you Raúl for taking such great care of us from end to end of the trip and for making my experience at Bogota amazing!

Fabulous & very memorable - Gigio is an incredibly skilled, enthusiastic & knowledgeable guide - he tailored this tour to fit what I wanted (no cable car!), was flexible when I needed a bite to eat, and made sure I had everything I needed upon return to the airport. I am so glad I booked this tour. Thank you Gigio!

Bogota in 4 hours - simply great! - We (family and a 13-year-old child) had a particularly nice experience in Bogota: Since we had a 10-hour stopover in Bogota, we decided at short notice (one day before) to do the small 4-hour tour. When we arrived at Bogota airport (6 a.m.), I was able to log into the free wifi there for 30 minutes so I could see the status. The tour was confirmed. I also got a WhatsApp from our very friendly tour guide Marta saying that she was waiting outside at Cafe Oma. We got through immigration in about 45 minutes. Then we walked through the hall to collect our luggage. Our suitcases were in transit and luckily we didn't have to worry about them. El Dorado airport is very well organized, clean and has lots of nice shops and cafes. It is expensive even by European standards. Euros and dollars were accepted. When we got out it was 7:15 in the morning and Cafe Oma was immediately on the left. Marta addressed us directly by name and we were happy that we had found everything so easily. We were able to stow our hand luggage safely in the car. The driver was in the car the whole time and kept an eye on things. After discussing it with Marta, we decided not to drive to Montserrat because we were quite tired and not prepared enough for the 3000 m altitude. It was also very cloudy and you could only see the outline of the mountain later in the day. Nevertheless, the tour was a very nice experience. Marta was an extremely friendly tour guide who was patient with us because we walked very slowly. She was able to pass on her extensive knowledge to us very well and her English was perfect. We are very grateful that we were able to see so much in such a short time. The journey in the car was perfect and very comfortable. There was a lot of traffic jam in the morning, but Marta was able to tell us a lot about Colombia and Bogota and we were able to take great photos of the many beautiful graffiti. We first drove to the unique Candaleria district with its many small alleys. It was still early in the morning and Bogota was just waking up. So we were able to go for a little walk without encountering a lot of crowds. Marta told us something about every street and square. We could ask all the questions we wanted. Later the car was waiting for us again and drove us to the next point. The main square was unique and impressive. Marta always told us to be careful and not to let the street vendors approach us. We felt very well looked after. Marta had exciting facts to hand and we could imagine everything, for example how Simon Bolivar jumped out of the window. We even had time for a small snack and coffee and coca tea in between. Afterwards we went to the Casa de la Moneta and the Botero Museum. We were very impressed. We really enjoyed it. The journey back to the airport was comfortable and quick. Marta accompanied us to the security gate. We rested in the El Dorado lounge until our flight. We left Bogota with a good feeling and will always remember this wonderful experience. Thank you Martha.
