Highlight of Bogota trip - This was a surprising highlight of the trip. It was so interesting to visit this community and see how vibrant it is. The tour guide was informative and the “body guard “ Johnny kept us safe. Never felt any sort of danger at all. The view from the top of the cable car was better than the view from Monserrat , and definitely less touristy

Great way to spend a day when in Bogota - A really fun and interesting tour where you find out a lot about the Barrios in the North of Bogota. Also the cable car ride and the views from the top are amazing. Davide has a great knowledge of the area and is a super guide

Im so Grateful m, Jorge! - I’m so happy to have met Jorge. During my stay in Bogotá, I chose him as my tour guide on both occasions. He is well-informed, flexible, helpful, approachable, and, on top of all that, such a great guy. The Ciudad Bolívar tour was unforgettable and, in my opinion, one of the top attractions.

Worthy every penny - It was an incredible experience . DAVID VERY HELPFUL EXPLAINING ALL THE PLACES . His team the driver and John from Favela was very helpful too. They are very Attentive and detailed, they explain the tourist attractions and, with a unique touch, take us to a higher point of the favela, where tourists usually don’t go out of fear of violence. John and David are well-known in the area for their efforts to help others and for running an organization that supports children. It was an incredible experience because, beyond the beautiful scenery, I was able to appreciate something even more beautiful: a good heart, kind people, and how grateful I am to God for my life!

Great tour of bogota!! - David was the best guide! He was super knowledgeable and happy to answer all the (many) questions I had along the way. I was the only one on my tour for the day, but he was very kind and welcoming so it was actually even more fun that way. I learned a lot and felt safe and comfortable the whole time! Would definitely recommend to anybody wanting to see a more unique, less touristy area of bogota!

Interesting and rewarding - What a great way to understand this incredibly interesting part of the city’s history. It was both interesting but also rewarding in the sense that as a tourist it really felt that you were helping to bring new trade and jobs to the area but also to help others understand how this area is changing and is somewhere worth visiting. Great trip and well worth the cost. Steve & Jo

Day in the Favela - Pretty short day visiting the favela. David did a good job. He was nice, patient, and knowledgeable. Felt safe with him and local John. Would have been nice to chat with some of the other locals.
