Our trip to Bogotá was quite spontaneous, so we didn't do much research. I knew only a few about Colombia. (Encanto, coffee, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, ......) Join a walking tour is always a great way to see a city. Thanks to our guide, Santiago, we had a great travel experience in Bogota. The tour includes almost everything we want to know about: history, the current state of society, food, drink, culture, graffiti, language, ...... The best of it is that we had some short free time during the tour. So that I could buy some special drinks right after he introducing them, instead of coming back to find them (fearing of not sure where they were) after the tour. In the end of the tour, Santiago was so passionate and patient to answer all the extra questions we had. We love Bogotá!

Natalia was really informative and really enthusiastic about the history of Bogotá. It was a great to introduce yourself to the city and find hidden gems in the context of it's history.

Natalia was a wonderful guide. I was late, but thanks to a different Beyond Colombia tour guide I was able to find the group I signed up for! Natalia got me caught up to speed and I really enjoyed the rest of the tour. A great way to get oriented to the city and to hear a little about Bogota's interesting history!

Jeffer's is a phenomenal tour guide. He gave us a cultural and historical tour of Candelaria, Bogotá. I was left more informed about the people of Columbia and the heartbeat of their beloved capital

Angelica, our guide was amazing! The tour excellent! A must do to visit downtown Bogotà! You see the city, you learn the history, you taste chicha, and you end at a pretty viewpoint! You also get all kind of recommendations and explanations about food in Bogotà and a couple of book suggestions! Could not have asked for more.
