I had a fantastic experience with Gran Colombia Tours in Bogotá! 🌆🇨🇴 My tour guide was absolutely amazing — she was perfectly on time ⏰, very friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable 📚. At every stop she shared fascinating stories, historical context, and local insights that really brought the city to life. It honestly felt like she was the ChatGPT of Bogotá 🤖😄 — she had an answer to every question! The tour was well organized, informative, and fun from start to finish. I learned a lot and truly enjoyed every moment. 🙌 Thank you for this great experience — I would definitely book with Gran Colombia Tours again on my next visit! 😊

I booked this tour for my girlfriend and her cousin. They said the sites were amazing. But, they said the driver ruined the tour for them . He wouldn’t take or allow photos, served very little food and juice, was angry through out the tour and rude. This was not what i paid for. Good thing i was not there!! Do not use this company !!! RIP off

Gerald the guide is extremely knowledgeable about the scenery, the famous attractions, history, nature, birds, indigenous people / tribe history and culture, etc. etc., you name it. He is also very helpful, care, carrying our backpacks, reminding the stairs, even bio-breaks. One of the best tour guides we have ever been with. The itinerary is well organized, with adequate time allocation, time of the day, and the walking route. Highly recommended. Lazy Travellers

Ivonne was amazing and I would highly recommend her as a tour guide. She was very insightful, able to match the energy of our small group and was able to quickly pivot based on timing to maximize the amount of cultural places we were able to see. I don't know how she got the rain to hold off the entire morning when we went but it was amazing!

Visiting Bogotá has been a dream of mine for a long time, so I wanted a tour that would give me a rich introduction to the city, including its main sights, its culture, and its unique energy. This experience exceeded every expectation! My guide, Camilla, was truly exceptional!! Her knowledge, passion, and warmth made the day truly memorable. She not only guided me through all the key landmarks with confidence and insight, but also shared fascinating historical context, contemporary perspectives, and endless stories that brought the city to life. She answered all my (many!) questions with enthusiasm, and even adjusted parts of the tour to suit my personal interests, something I appreciated immensely. This is the perfect way to begin a first trip to Bogotá. I would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking to fall in love with the city from day one.
