A really great tour!
A very nice experience with our guide, who is both knowledgeable and full of humor. He also prepares the coffee very well before letting us taste it!
6 out of 5 stars
Fantastic walk about the city. Mayra has excellent English and was so interesting to listen to
Great experience
It was a great experience. There were unexpected things like the fruit tasting and a lot of interesting information even for me, who am from Colombia. The guide Gerald was very attentive, pleasant, and focused on creating an experience. Definitely a recommended plan for those who enjoy walking and learning beyond the obvious about a city.
Great tour! Totally recommend it.

Great Tour & Entertaining Informed Guide
It was fabulous! Our guide spoke English well & knew the neighborhoods! I came away knowing how to find my way thru Candelaria & adjacent neighborhoods. She shared info about the culture as we strolled thru all of it. Myra is an excellent guide well versed in the culture of Bogota.
