This is the way to visit La Candelaria! - Informative and fun tour in a beautiful part of town. Linda provided a lot of background, history and context on this historic part of the city. La Candeleria is very interesting and we wouldn’t have done this tour any other way. Private transportation, English-speaking, insightful.

Historical tour of Candelaria and museums - I had a wonderful day with Estevan.we visited candelaria, gold museum, botero museum and lots of stuff in between. He also took me to a place that served really good ban de bonos and empanadas.
Estevan is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Colombia including the details of art and the history or pre-Colombia. I would highly recommend him.
Similarly Hansa tours were incredibly professional and easy to deal with. Excellent experience all together.

Wonderfully Talented and Amazing Tour Guide - Esteban, our tour guide, took us on a deep dive of La Candelaria and Monserrate. His profound knowledge of Colombia added much needed context to everything we saw on our tour.
After spending four hours with Esteban, we are convinced that he is the best tour guide in all off Colombia. He’s not only a great communicator but he’s a great connector. By the end of the tour we both felt like we’d known him for a lifetime. Esteban is an asset to his organization and the tour guide industry overall.

Great experience!! - If you want to explore Bogotá, its history and culture, Hansa Tours is the best option! We got to know the museum of gold and the museum of Botero at the MAMU. In the meanwhile, we explored the streets of La Candelaria, its architecture and history. We also went to places and restaurants where we could taste the flavours and gastronomy of the city! Besides, the tour guide Bairon was really nice, he took his time to explain relevant information about Bogotá and was attentive to the tourist so the experience was enjoyable.

Tourism with empathy - We traveled from Guayaquil to Bogota because my father will undergo surgery this week in a clinic here. Taking advantage of the time, I contacted the agency and explained the situation and they tried to have a wheelchair for their use. In addition, our guide Sebastián Huérfano was always making sure that he did not trip and that he felt good and not exhausted.
I have made some excursions in different countries but I must admit that on this occasion we had a guide who knew what he was talking about, very patient, knowledgeable about various topics and very respectful all the time.
Sebas, thank you for showing us La Candelaria and all its corners, the museums and the other places with so much professionalism!
Recommending 100%!

Excellent tour - Super good tour. I got to know the main historical sites and the gold museum. We also tried many typical foods. Sebastian took his time to tell me a lot of details and even changed the program to take me for excellent coffee and even to choose records of typical Colombian music. Sebastian is a Bogota and historian and demonstrates much knowledge of his city. I had a great time.
