La Candelaría Walking Tour
Fantastic few hours exploring the history of La Candelaría. I’d highly recommend if you want to learn about the history of this part of the city!
My great guide
It was an excellent tour. I want to make a special mention of our guide, a great speaker, with historical and charismatic stories that make this experience something unique.
Excellent Walking Tour
We had the best guide - very knowledgeable. It is nice to have a Guide who loves her city, is enthusiastic about sharing historical facts and local stories, and is simply very warm and personable.
Great introduction to Bogota.
Great tour with our wonderful guide Bernardo. We had just arrived in Bogota and this was a great introduction to the city. Bernardo took the time to point out places of interest and discuss the history and other interesting information. He also made great recommendations for the rest of our stay which made our whole stay more enjoyable.
Must do
I booked this walking tour for my parents and my grandmother, and they absolutely loved it. They told me it was an excellent experience from beginning to end. The guide, Mayra, was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and wise, with a wonderful way of sharing everything she knew. They felt like they learned so much, even more than they would in a history class. She explained everything patiently, used great examples, and made the history and stories easy to understand and interesting. The tour was also very well paced. They were not walking nonstop, and there were plenty of moments to rest, ask questions, and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. I honestly have major FOMO for not joining them! After hearing how much they enjoyed it, I know that when I come back, I will definitely be doing this tour myself. They would 100% recommend this tour to anyone. It was educational, enjoyable, and very well organized. Mayra was truly an exceptional guide!
