Gold museum and city tour - Esteban was my tour guide today. Somehow he combined professionalism with friendliness and knowledgeability all together. He was cheerful, knew all of the city so well and knew the facts about the city. I hope to return someday and have a tour from him again.

We love La Candelaria and Joel! - From the moment we met, Joel was warm and kind. His personal touch made us feel valued as travelers rather than just other tourists. His enthusiasm for the Bogota was infectious, which set a positive tone for our adventure. One of the standout features of Joel’s service was his expert navigation skills. As we walked through the bustling streets of La Candelaria in Bogota. He skillfully maneuvered us through various streets.

Great trip through Colombia’s past - This was a private tour and my tour guide Maria Camila was excellent . As we went through the gold museum she wove in the history of the indigenous people of Colombia, the process of making gold jewelry and the Spanish colonization in its quest to find the gold . Maria was very knowledgeable of the founding of Bogota and history of Candelaria. She also had a beautiful voice as she sung a tradition song of the Andes . The snacks were good too 🤪. I would highly recommend Maria as a guide as she brought history to life . The only reason i did not give this a 5 star review was because of problems with paying them with my credit card .
The only reason this was not a 5 was the companies payment system kept rejecting my credit care . I was finally able to pay via PayPal .
