This is an excellent... - This is an excellent tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and was able to separate the tour into three sections. He was able to ensure we hit spots before they closed or after they opened to ensure we had an optimal experience. There were so many tidbits and extra pieces of information that we would never have known, especially as he showed us some of the best “hole in the wall” spots.

A wonderful introduction to gay Bogotá! - Outstanding tour with Juan. A wonderful introduction to Bogotá and highly recommended for early in your trip to orient you to gay nightlife, culture, shopping, and other extra curricular offerings around Chapinero. Juan is a first rate cultural ambassador and a very accommodating host, eager to facilitate an enjoyable visit. With the later tour time we had time to visit several locations of particular interest to me at length without any hurry. Bring extra cash for any add-ons you might be interested in. Juan’s open mindedness and good naturedness were refreshing and delightful in an otherwise somewhat chaotic neighborhood that would have been intimidating to discover on my own. He seems to know all the best places including dozens of hidden gems that I could certainly not have found on my own. Highly recommended!

Excellent and informative - Juan was an excellent guide. He tailored the tour to my desires and showed me a bunch of places that would have been difficult or impossible to find on my own. It was an excellent introduction to Bogota.

Essential LGBTQ+ Bogota Tour—Unlock the City’s Hidden Gems! - My partner and I had an incredible experience on Juan’s tour. He’s a fantastic communicator and listener, and his knowledge of Bogota’s gay culture is unmatched. Although we’d visited Bogota before, it wasn’t until this tour that we truly understood the depth and vibrancy of the LGBTQ+ scene here. Juan’s insights saved us time, money, and confusion—he answered every question and shared tips you won’t find in any guidebook or online forum. We took all three parts of the tour, and each one was packed with valuable information and cultural stories. Staying in Chapinero made everything walkable and easy. If you want to make the most of your time in Bogota, book with Juan. Even an online session would be worth it! This tour is a must for anyone looking to connect with the local LGBTQ+ community. Juan is simply the best—I wish every city had someone like him!

This tour saved us hours of searching - Juan gave a great tour of many of the gay places of interest in Bogota, which can be a bit hard to locate as they are pretty discrete. He showed us many inconspicuous doors and the important doorbells one needs to gain access. He also told us what we could expect to find inside the doors. He showed us around the various gay bars, which are much easier to locate and what kind of scene we'd find when we ventured it. I'd recommend his tour to avoid having to search for these somewhat hidden spots. There aren't many rainbow flags flying around Bogota, but he pointed out some subtle clues that can help the gay traveler find some welcoming places.

An immersive experience in the LGBT+ community - Juan is a perfect guy who is knowledgeable about the city and passionate about sharing the LGBT+ life in Bogotá. I think no one could know the whereabouts of all those cafes, saunas, theatres, bars, etc. as they are so discrete around the city. Also I never thought the tour would be that in-depth (in an excellent way) such that you can immediately start engaging with the vibrant gay activities right after the tour. Thank you Juan for the wonderful night.
