Unforgettable!! - Our tour was with Juani, as she said herself, our friend from Bogotá. What a wonderful day! We are Brazilians, it was our first morning in Colombia, and it was essential for us to immediately get to know the best of Colombia and Bogotá. A tour with a lot of history, a lot of culture, a lot of typical Bogotá experiences. And most of all, it was SO much fun! Juani has a lot of knowledge and is a sweet person! If we fell in love with Colombia on our trip, that first day with Juani certainly contributed a lot to that! And Aleja was super attentive from the moment we made the reservation online. We recommend a tour with them to anyone who wants to fall completely in love with a real Bogotá! Thanks for the tips and teachings! We wish you much success! ❤️

Historical Candelaria tour - This was an awesome tour. Our tour guide Juanita is amazing. We learned a lot about the history of Bogota. She kept us interested in the topic and answered all our questions. Bring water and comfortable shoes to walk in. She also took us to a local coffee shop to taste genuine Colombian coffee. Delicious! We highly recommend it!

Unique and Special - It would be hard to find a tour that was a more perfect blend of entertaining, educational, and engaging. The company has a clear commitment to ethical and responsible tourism which you can see in the stories they tell, the places they visit and the other businesses they support. We cannot recommend their tours enough. It was a wonderful day thanks to them.

A great way to learn about colombian history in a fun way while visiting the hot spots - A couple of friends and I joined this tour and it didn’t disappoint at all. Aleja showed us some spots that you definitely don’t want to miss if you visit Bogota and while doing that she was able to tell us a little bit of the Colombian history in an entertaining and understandable way. This tour is definitely an must if you are visiting the city.

Best Bogotá Tour! - This is a fantastic tour! Aleja is a wonderful guide who can answer all of your questions about Bogotá. She was both kind and able to explain Colombian history and culture with ease. This tour includes many big landmarks of Candelaria as well as places that I would have never found on my own. It was truly a great experience!
