Very Personalized Tour

This is a wonderful and very customizable tour. Miguel has relationships with people all over the city, and takes care of all the transportation and entry to the sites while Nicholas provides wonderful details and translation. Nicholas grew up visiting many of the sites visited and has lived in various places around the city. The pace of the tour is perfect. You get to visit many sites in the historic city, plus several museums and sites farther out. We even stopped to enjoy a coffee in the main square and just relax by a beautiful mountain-fed pool. This is a great way to explore Villa de Leyva.

All's well that ends well.

Started kind of bumpy as they provided a guide that didn't speak English which wouldn't have worked. Recovered with a Ivan who was excellent. He was very helpful and a great guide to all the sites we visited (terra cotta house, Pozol azul, Fossil museum and a walking tour at the end for the history of Villa de Leyva. He was very accommodating and we did spend some time afterwards with him for lunch (wasn't part of the tour). We really appreciated the quick adjustment. We were happy with the tour.
