A must do whilst in Bogotá - This has to be one of the best tours i have taken, it really leaves you with a bigger heart and an appreciation for being welcomed by the locals and especially John who you could see was so proud of all the work they have done so far. David my tour guide did such a great job with so much information and what plans they have for the future, it was also so nice to see where they had «movie» nights or activities for the children once a week. I have so much respect for the job and hard work you all are doing and you are such a blessing for the people and the community. All in all from the taxi pickup (Cesar was great) I can highly recommend this tour and a must do whilst in Bogotá, not just to take great photos but to learn more about the «behind the scenes» Colombia and such hard working people! 10 out of 10, Thanks again.

Life in the sky - This was the highlight of my trip to Columbia. The cable car opened in 2018 and now there is a commercial street high in the sky. Especially liked the recycle museum. And of course my guide David.

Terrific Tour - I recently had the opportunity to visit the El Paraiso neighbourhood via a tour with David Cruz and it was an excellent insight in to an area of Bogota that not many tourists see. During the tour David educated us about the area and its history. The tour included the cable car ride and sampling some local snacks. We were accompanied by local resident Johnny/John who ensured we had no issues while walking through his community. Our tour driver Jairo also safely transferred us from our hotel and back. Great tour and glad I did it, was one of the highlights of my trip to Bogota.

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
