Bogotá experience - The tour was spectacular (Monserrate, Botero and the gold museums)! The locations that were chosen to visit were very interesting and beautiful to learn about. Nicolas was our tour guide and he did a phenomenal job. He was very kind and patient with us whenever we wanted to stop and take pictures. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the locations that we visited. He was very interested in us as a group and we throughly enjoyed our visit. We 150% recommend both him and the tour locations!!!

David was a great guide! - Such a great guide and had an amazing time! Was nervous to travel by myself and didn't have enough time to research before hand so it was great traveling with a true Colombian who already knows the city.

Sergio in Bogota - We had a fantastic tour with Sergio as our guide and Edwin as our driver. Sergio was very knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the history, architecture, and culture of Bogota. We visited two museums, the Botero Museum and - since the Gold Museum was closed on Monday - the Emerald Museum. Sergio talked about Botero's art and private collection like a true art expert! He made the whole trip fun and informative.

More than expected - It’s one thing walking the streets of Bogota but there’s always the better option, get your tour guide Daniel. He had a set schedule but we were flexible and were able to find other things on the way. Learned more about the country and culture than if we were strolling and sightseeing. Totally worth the booking and special treatment.
