Such a gem of a tour!

Alejandra was the best! She was so informative & such a great story teller! The historical landmarks were so interesting and to get the stories behind them was just awesome. One of the sites was under renovation so she pivoted to what we wanted to experience! It was very thoughtful and totally appreciated! Alejandra was such a perfect tour guide for us, and she got to know us in order to cater to us and what we wanted to experience in this excursion. Definitely a great company to seek for other excursions they offer too! Thank you for such an amazing time!

A truly personal tour!

We took the tour of Candelaria with Juani on our first day in Bogota and what a start to our holiday! Juani started by asking what our interests were so that she could tailor the tour to our liking. We walked through the streets of the Candelaria area where Juani talked us through the history of the people of Bogota and Colombia, explaining both important landmark moments in Colombian history as well as anecdotes of local Bogotanos and their impact on the city and country. She took us for a pit stop at a local cafe where we tasted Colombian coffee as well as cacaos while listening to the coffee history of Colombia. Juani also recommended us places to go for drinks and dinner, her recommendations were spot on! Juani was a fantastic guide and we highly recommend this tour!
