Bogota Layover Express: Monserrate, Old Town & Coffee

This was a wonderful tour for a solo traveler! It gave me just the right glimpse of Bogotá and helped me truly get a feel for the city’s culture and energy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick yet meaningful experience.

Felipe gave the greatest tour I could’ve hoped for! He was so informative and kept it interesting the whole day!! It was so nice to get to know him and see Bogota with a local. I can’t recommend this tour more!

This was the best layover tour ever. I got to see so much and Luis was an excellent guide. I even got to practice my Spanish! :) As a female solo traveler, I am always anxious at the start of tours, but I felt beyond safe the entire time and Luis was incredibly kind and informative. This was the perfect way to see Bogotá on a short visit and I can't recommend this tour more!!! Worth every penny!!!!!

Run, don't walk, to contact Luis Felipe and book a tour. Luis Felipe is the real deal. He is intelligent, thoughtful, knowledgable, kind, excellent to work with, and we are so lucky to have found him on a day he was free! I contacted him on Monday morning when we finally received our flight information for our one-day layover in Bogota. He got back to me immediately and we scheduled a Layover Tour for my family of four, with two kids ages 8 and 10. Then our flight into Bogota was delayed multiple times. Luis Felipe was gracious, accommodating, and helpful. When we finally arrived in Bogota, Luis Felipe was waiting with his impeccably clean and comfortable SUV to chauffeur us around the city. He worked with us to arrange the reduced time we had into a schedule that gave us the best experience of Bogota that we could have. But here's the best part: Luis Felipe doesn't just show you cool places. He interprets them. He gives you context. He helps you understand the country of Colombia, its culture, and its history. He is funny and thoughtful and considerate. He is absolutely fantastic. His English is amazing. He used to be a mechanical engineer, and we are fortunate to have benefited from his choice to change careers. I would hire Luis Felipe again in a heartbeat.

Luis Felipe and Alejandro made our layover fun, insightful, and reassured we feel safe. They were helpful in showing us as much as they can, showing us the beauty of Bogata and Colombia especially through their local lense. We loved it and hearing about Luis' experiences. We definitely recommend booking with them if you need airport transportation, layover experience, and or even just reach out for your travel in Colombia! We will definitely be back to travel in through Colombia again!

We spent 5 hours of our 8-hour layover in Colombia with Luis Felipe and Alejandro. We had a great time, to say the least. Luis Felipe is very knowledgeable and provides excellent insight and conversation. You can tell he knows and loves his city and country. He took us to some excellent places based on our interests.

What a great tour of Bogota! We got to see so much interesting things and taste so much good food. Our guide Luis provided a perfect service, with so much knowledge about Colombia and South America. This tour is highly recomended!

This tour was one of the Best we had! Felipe was great. He made our layover in Bogota unforgetful. Because of him we saw so many things in our short 6 hours long layover. He even waited for us in the airport very early in the morning. Hiš knowlage is very impressive and he took us to the Best breakfast we had in our 2 weeks long trip around central and south america. We recomend it very much.

I had an extended layover in Bogota on a recent trip alone. As a solo female, I knew I didn't want to wait at the airport but also wanted to know that I (and my luggage) would be taken care of during a City Tour. I had nothing to worry about with Luis and his brother Alejandro. Luis was fast to respond to any email I sent and we changed to What's App once I arrived in Colombia. They met me at the airport Starbucks and we started the tour early. I was instantly at ease with their obvious experience and understanding of what I was looking for during a layover tour. Alejandro took my bags and we got into a very nice, clean car and were off. Luis was so knowledgable and was able to answer all my questions. Alejandro dropped us off at each site and stayed with the car eliminating the need for parking and to insure that my luggage was not left unattended. Luis gave me a personal tour through each site and museum and was able to really add a personal touch. The day ended having a chocolate tasting and then coffee and pastries on a patio with Luis just chatting. It was exactly was I was looking for. At no time did I feel rushed and I felt like a friend by the end of the tour. I highly recommend Luis and Alejandro and look forward to touring with them again.

The guide was excellent. He has a way of working out what you are interested in and then tailors the conversation accordingly. My husband and I are very interested in history and politics and we were catered for accordingly. From the beginning we were treated extremely politely and based on our need (my husband cannot walk very fast so this was taken into account). We learned so much and came away with a very different view of Columbia to what the history papers tell you!! At one point the tour was amended slightly to accommodate our preferences. Overall a 10 out of 10 experience and we would recommend this to anyone.
