Great start to experiencing Bogota in many ways. - Juan Carlos was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot today about Columbia, about Bogota, history, and culture. I really enjoyed the variety of nature, food, art, and architecture. Thank you for a great tour!

A day with Juan Carlos - Juan Carlos was a terrific guide. His English is excellent and he has in-depth knowledge of Bogota. It was our first day in Bogota so the altitude was a factor. We are seniors and he paced us perfectly, waiting patiently as we caught our breaths. I would highly recommend this tour and Juan Carlos.

A great solo tour day with one of the best tours and guides - Juan Carlos was a great guide. Doing tours solo can sometimes be challenging but he made it very personal and was very attentive! Took photos for me, made sure my experience was one of a kind. I saw a few souvenirs and even though it wasn’t part of the tour we stopped and he helped translate. I had a great day touring Bogota with Columbia Tours and Trips with the help of Juan Carlos. This tour really brings you to see all of the big sites! Thank you Juan Carlos!

The best tour - Our experience was incredible, Juan Carlos was the best, his knowledge about the city, the region and the country is remarkable. If you are considering go to Bogota, call or book with these guys, they will also take you to some hidden gems that you normally don't find.
