5 Stars – Excellent Tour with Alejandro in Bogotá

Bryce_L, Jul 2025
We had a fantastic tour with Alejandro, visiting the Museo del Oro and Monserrate in Bogotá. Alejandro was both knowledgeable and spirited — his energy and passion for Colombian history made the experience truly memorable. His deep understanding of the artifacts and stories in the Museo del Oro brought the exhibits to life in a way that was both enriching and engaging. At Monserrate, he balanced insightful commentary with just the right touch of humor and charm. Highly recommend Alejandro as a guide — he made our visit both educational and fun!

Beautiful church. Guide’s English needs improvement

James_K, Feb 2024
The church is very impressive and the views spectacular. Our guide’s English was weak and while driving the guide and the driver were in near continuous conversation in Spanish. Normally on tours like this guide would be giving us background on areas we were passing through or on the stop ahead.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear James_K, Thank you for the feedback, we are sorry to hear what happened and apologize for it was last minute booking during peak season and not many top guides available. We continue to work for this not to happen again in the future. Should you like to take the tour again at no cost please just let us know. Look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services®
