The tour was an excellent tour, and Camillo provided us with an in-depth experience of Bogotá, its rich history, and amazing restaurants to visit for delicious Colombian food.

Camilo is a very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide that presents the history, culture and geography of Bogota in a fun and very well paced way. A terrific introduction to the capital city of Colombia visiting many of the unique at special locations in the Central city and Candelaria. I highly recommend this tour.

This is the second time for us booking with Gran Colombia Tours for a private day tour. This time in Bogota. And we're glad we did it with them. Our tour guide Nataly was great! She really is very knowledgeable of the places we visited. She and my wife really get along very well. I recommend that if booking with Gran Colombia, that you request for her as your tour guide.

Booked this tour on a short trip to Bogota…just did the city tour and Monserrate — was a great tour. My guide Juana was very nice and has fantastic knowledge of the city…I would strongly recommend this tour if you are in Bogota!

I booked the Monserrate and city tour without Museum thru Gran Colmbia Tours and I had the nicest, most knowledgeable guide Leslie! It was very interesting to listen to her and she was just the perfect guide one could have. Thanks guys for making my visit to Bogota so memorable!

The tour was over our expectations- Bogota, Candelaria, Monserrat but all that without Lorena will be boring. Very knowledgeable guide with lots of experience. Finger up for tour and guide

A great experience with our guide Cristian. He’s very knowledgeable about everything, from plants, history, food to anything around the city (and even in the museum!) The trip is well timed with fast tracks to the cable car/tram and plenty of stops in between to drink tea/coffee and chill. He’s very flexible with agenda as well. Highlight of the trip is a local restaurant he recommended for the dinner - this did not disappoint with a great Colombian barbecue with the locals. Although the full tour is 7 hours with limited car drive, you will not be too tired!
