    Natalie was such a great guide, so personable, bright and sweet, knowledgeable and doing great with her English (I should know Spanish). Showed us around the La Candelaria area which was really beautiful, bright and interesting. Loved learning more about Bogota and Colombia. Can’t wait to return and see more of the city and country.

    It was our guides first time doing an English tour and he did brilliantly. He had excellent knowledge and showed us some very interesting sites around the city, not forgetting his very good English. Perfect way to start a trip if you’ve never been to Colombia before.

    Fui hoy con mi novio y nos pareció una experiencia súper! La atención del guía (Jose) mejor imposible, se preocupó todo el tiempo de que entendiéramos lo que nos iba contando. Las degustaciones, el recorrido, la información, todo súper. Recomiendo mucho el tour y la empresa, aparte que si ya pagaste al reservar por la página no te piden adicional nada.
