Tour organized very well - Everything perfect! - The visit lasted a total of 14 hours, with 2 people, Driver and Guide, totally at my disposal. During the tour, in addition to Villa de Leyva which is beautiful, we visited a number of other attractions in the area that are worth knowing and visiting. A day where it was possible to take many photos and really get into the local Colombian culture. Highly recommended!

Angel was awesome! - Angel, our tour guide was so great! He took us to the small villages around Villa De Leyva, made a stop to the chocolate museum and took us to a bunch of different historical spots and was able to take plenty of pictures. He was so knowledgeable of the land and made us feel at home

Great Day out of the Big city - Marcelo and our driver Luisa were wonderful. It’s a long day but a great tour, getting out of the city. Loved Villa de Leyva and trying the local eats. Great seeing the Boyaca Bridge. Highly recommend.

Villa de Leyva - Amazing experience! - Whether you are going solo or have a small group, I highly recommend this private tour. My guide Marcelo, was awesome! Extremely knowledgeable and upbeat, he met me at my apartment to get picked up and made additional stops to show me a little more of colombia! Once we got to Villa de Leyva we got to see the major sites and he even took me hiking to to the Christ (you'll see it when you get there) . Everyone that goes to Bogota needs to make a little time to go see this place!

Custom Experience, Perfect Day! - We happened to (unknowingly) select the day of a major kite festival, so Juan (our guide) was kind enough to contact us in advance and ask us if we wanted to switch our time to a different day, or if we wanted to adjust our itinerary around some of the challenges the festival posed. We chose the latter and had an amazing time cruising the city back streets, learning about the revolution, ducking into some quiet shops, taking our time at the small but incredibly interesting fossil museum, and calmly strolling the streets of Raquira (the pottery village). The whole experience definitely needs multiple days to take it all in, but we were squeezed by time and the Puente calendar, and we still had an amazing time! Gracias Juan!

Villa de Leyva maravillosa - I had the lucky chance of being escorted by Angel. He was an amazing tour guide(funny, welcoming and we really connected as friends). It was a long journey but all the stops along the way were great. Between learning about the independence of Colombia (history and final site battle), food, museums (giant fossil), touring Villa De Leyva, and a few other side attractions that even some local Bogotans have never been to, it was a great experience with Angel. I would definitely recommend requesting him if possible. As long as you let him know your interests, he will tailor the excursion around that.

GoBogota not good to tour with outside of Bogota - I was disappointed with my tour to Villa de Leyva with GoBogota after paying close to $300 for a one day trip. As expected after paying this amount, I expected the best service, and instead found the service 2nd rate. The tour company said that I was to visit four places in Villa de Leyva on a Wednesday, only to find that the Casa Terracota was closed on Wednesdays, and the museum of Casa Museo Antonio Narino and Casa Museo Capitan Antonio Ricaurte had been closed for months for renovations. This tour company should have known about these closures. When I mentioned this to them, they said, well I got to go to other places as an alternative. Then it took some coercion to get them to refund me some money, and they did, but only $50. Honestly, I would not have gone on this tour knowing that GoBogota's itinerary was not accurate and their tour administration office was not up to par for the price that I had to pay. The only redeeming thing that happened was the driver/guide, Pierre, who did what he could to make the trip worthwhile and pay for my lunch and try to make the day good.
