The tour guide's expertise and knowledge of the historical and/or tourist information of the places visited.
We highly recommend the tour and Juana as a guide. It was a private tour through some very beautiful parts of Bogotá, and we learned a lot and gained some great impressions.
Excellent guide!
Muy buena y completa
Amazing
Sergio was an incredible guide, like an old friend showing us around the city with utmost pride. Besides his magnificent sense of humor, Sergio is chock-full of stories and references to Colombia’s current events, supplementing each of our stops. This took our visit to the Museo de Oro and Museo Botero from great to excellent, the fascinating context enriching our adventure. I can only give Sergio the highest recommendation for travelers wanting to see the ins and outs of the heart of Bogotá.
