Great company - The tour guide was so excellent (Raul) and the drive was fantastic (I'm pretty sure name was Juan), we enjoyed the key activities of a perfectly clear day at Monserrate, Gold Museum, a walk through downtown neighborhoods, a nice lunch with typical food. We had very limited time at Botero museum due to being a little behind. The only complaint is that we did not get the tour we signed up for: it was only 6 hours (not 8), did not include all the sites described on the itinerary (which is why I chose this tour over others), and was not private (we had 2 other people with us: they were very pleasant and nice to have around however). We did not get contacted the day before and I was not able to reach anyone through the Get Your Guide app or earlier at the travel company by phone, but they did show up on time at the location we specified! So: fantastic tour, but I think we were lumped into another tour we did not specify without being told, with less included, it was still wonderful, the company is very good, needs better communication with GetYourGuide
