Milena, the best walking guide in Bogota. - Excellent tour, definitely highly recommend it. We started on time, we were supported, we shared the food we were promised, everything hygienic, pretty safe places and everything extraordinary. Milena's attention was amazing, I couldn't really have better guidance.

Awesome guide - so glad I checked it out - Had a great time seeing La Calendaria with Lorenzo, who’s such a fantastic person. I booked last minute and very glad I did. Not seeing La Candelaria while in Bogota would be a tragedy. My guide new the district and the people there so well. I learned a ton and also asked many questions about the neighborhood, history and to be honest, everything about Bogota and Colombia. I’d highly recommend the tour and wish i had more time to do another with Lorenzo

Absolutely wonderful! - Our tour guide, Gina, took us to the most charming, delicious and unexpected places! The experience was a glimpse of a more local food and walking experience that we likely wouldn’t have found on our own. Gina went out of her way to address our interests and questions during and after our tour! Would highly recommend Gina and this tour!

Highly recommend! Ivonne tour guide! ☆☆ - Highly recommend! Ivonne was a fantastic tour guide who gave us a great introduction to Bogota/Candelaria! Graffiti, history, tea, fruits, treats, Tejo... the tour was varied and gave us insights into the city and the neighborhood that we never would have gotten had we not gone on the tour! Ivonne's passion for her job is evident and it was a real pleasure to spend the morning with her. Great way to start your trip in Bogota! Thank you!!
