Excellent customizable tour - The tour guide, Juan, initially gave a rough menu of things he likes to cover in the tour and asked me if there are any parts that I'd like to skip or not spend too much time at. He then built the tour around my interests. We checked out quite a few spaces relevant to the queer life and culture of the city and had the option of participating with any of the business I liked. Over all, time well-spent with lots to learn

AMAZING. - Juan is incredibly knowledgeable of the area and the history. I learned so much from him. Things i didn't even know. I have been to Bogota before many times...but this tour will open your eyes in a different way. He had plenty of time to show around and gives you the choice to experience any of the places you visit. I really really really recommend this tour. I speak spanish but his english was perfect. THANK YOU JUAN.

Great way to get to know Chapinero - Gay Area - Thank you for a wonderful tour Juan. It was very interesting and I appreciate your knowledge of the city. Although many of the bars were closed due to the holiday, I was able to go back and visit the next night. Future guests! Let Juan know what you want to see and do. He will customize the tour for you, and even stop in a location or two if you’d like to have a drink, bite to eat, or whatever. Don’t be bashful. The length of the tour varies on what you like to do.

Personal Tour - Touring the Gay District with Juan was great. What I like most about this tour was that even if it was just one person, Juan still continued the tour. Since it was just me, the tour was tailored to my interests which was great. Not only did Juan show me around the neighborhood, he even stopped at locations by request, if I wanted to enjoy some time there. What I enjoyed most was his willingness to accommodate me at any stop of the tour, which I didn't take advantage of but recommended if you want to stop at some of the sensual places. The tour was very informative and helpful for those spending more than 3 days in Bogota. I read in a different review about this being a great first tour if you land and are settled before the start times... I highly recommend taking the route, if it as available on day of arrival. I was settled in my hotel by 3pm and took the at 7pm tour. There's a bonus, he also offers other tours, if you want to do additional tours with him.

Enjoyable evening - Nice little tour. It was like walking around the neighborhood with a good friend. Gives you lots of information so you know what to expect of the bars/restaurants/other businesses. Just make sure you're doing this on a weekend if your looking for a night of partying. I wasn't, so it was no problem. Still a lot to do for a weekday.

Informative and good time tour. - The tour is tailored to one’s own interests so if you know what you want to see and do it will help the guide to focus on these areas to give you a better understanding of the gay district. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.

City - Even though it says it has one of the largest gay venues anywhere, unless you are willing to pay a lot of money, it feels like a whorehouse of prostitutes, if you’re into that you would probably love it a number of older men will not like that statement, it’s not love is sex for sale. The other point, I have travelled around the world numerous times and this city personal I felt unsafe. It was filthy dirty, just didn’t get this city, would not be returning.
