Phenomenal - We did the 7 hour tour with Juan Giraldo (Juan Carlos 12/13/23). Our experience with the tour guide was exceptional: he was very communicative, very knowledgeable about various aspects of Colombian history and culture, and explained everything with passion. and patience. The tour experience was like a day hanging out with a friend, an overall very friendly person. Everything went well, pick up and drop off at our hotel were very easy. If you travel to Colombia, I would recommend this tour. in English/Spanish, especially with Juan Giraldo as a tour guide, we felt very comfortable, safe and cared for. Thank you Juan!

Very nice Candelaria tour - We did the private 3-hour Candelaria tour. Our guide’s name was Juan Carlos. We were picked up exactly on time by Juan Carlos and the chauffeur. In Candelaria we got a very good tour with a lot of information about the history, politics and we saw all of the important buildings. He brought us to an indoor local market, where we tried a lot of Colombian fruit and were allowed to pick a juice to try. We also tried Colombian coffee. All in all, it was a very informative tour and we got a good image of Candelaria. We really recommend touring with Juan Carlos.
