Our guide was very informative about the history of Bogotá and Colombia and he was very flexible regarding the amount of time we spent at each location. We felt we got a really good overview of the city and country. A very interesting and enjoyable day!
Dear Victoria, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Spending the day with you, your husband, and your friends was truly a pleasure. I’m very glad to know you enjoyed the flexibility of the day and felt you gained a meaningful overview of both Bogota and Colombia. Adapting the pace and time at each stop to the group is important to me, so everyone feels comfortable and engaged. Your kind words about the history and context I shared mean a lot. Thank you again for your trust, and I hope to welcome you back to Bogota someday. From Luis Felipe, muchas gracias queridos amigos! 🇨🇦🇨🇴
Luis organized two days of sightseeing in Bogota. The price included all tickets and guide fees if Luis felt we needed anyone else and lots of snack stops along the way. We left the itinerary to Luis and our trust was amply repaid, he gave us not just a sightseeing trip but insights into Colombias past and present. To top it all off he had excellent restaurant recomendations.
Dear Paul, thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. Spending those two days with you and your wife was truly a pleasure, and I appreciate the trust you placed in me by leaving the itinerary in my hands. I’m very happy to know you enjoyed not only the sightseeing, but also the stories and context about Colombia’s past and present. Adding local snack stops and restaurant recommendations is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m glad those details made a difference. Thank you again for choosing Bogota Driver Guide Service. From Luis Felipe, muchas gracias amigos! 🇬🇧🇨🇴
A private tour- one on one with a guide and a comfortable car. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable- I enjoyed getting to know the real Bogotá! Plenty of food and snacks along the way!
Dear Milena, thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. Spending the day with you and your niece was a real pleasure. I’m happy to know you enjoyed seeing the real Bogota, from the vibrant energy of the farmers market to the views at Monserrate and the history in the streets of Candelaria. Sharing local flavors and snacks along the way is one of my favorite parts, and I’m so glad you enjoyed them. Your feedback truly means a lot to me. I hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Bogota. From Luis Felipe, muchas gracias! 🇵🇷🇺🇸🇨🇴
Very nice and complete tour. They offer you an exclusive experience (small group, or solo as in my case), which is perfect because you have close contact with the guide, and then you can enjoy their explanations, adjust your experience at your will (of course with reasoning), and get a private tour. During the tour, they’re constantly asking for feedback about the activities, so be honest so that the staff can solve any issue related to the activity and provide you a great and flexible experience. They are very attentive: enjoy that. Dont have a breakfast before going to this tour! They will provide you exquisite and delicious fruits (it depends on your tastes, ok?!) and meat for the breakfast, with typical colombian food (included in the tour). Remember: Colombian dishes are large, so prepare to eat a lot. I consider this tour very complete and dynamic, since we eat a lot of colombian (and good) food, go to famous places (Botero and Oro Museums, Monserrate (with fast pass!! really important info), la candelaria neighborhood), and nice places such as local markets, and places where you can buy some gifts and sculptures and drink colombian coffee (all included in the ticket). The transportation is nice and comfortable. The staff is punctual and organized. The staff knows a lot about the history and geopolitics of Bogota and Colombia in general, so they provide you with valuable information. I strongly recommend this activity, and enjoy!

Your kind words about our punctuality and knowledge mean a lot to us. Knowing you had such a memorable and authentic experience truly makes our work rewarding. We hope to welcome you back to Bogota in the future! From Alejandro and Luis Felipe, ¡muchas gracias! 🇧🇷🇨🇴🇧🇷🇨🇴🇧🇷

We had a private tour with Felipe and Alejandro. Felipe is very knowledgeable about the city of Bogotá and you can feel his passion for it and its history. Due to an injury just before our trip to Colombia, we had to modify the tour and Felipe and Alejandro were very accommodating. We did not feel like we missed out on anything! We enjoyed tasting the food, meeting the people, exploring the neighborhoods, visiting the museums and sights, and learning about the rich culture and history of this diverse city and country. We highly recommend this tour. You will learn so much!

The most important thing was the personal attention. A lot of emphasis was placed on detail. We were able to go easy and accommodate unique experiences when carrying our young children. Of the best experiences with a tour guide of my life.
¡Mil gracias, Sr. Guzmán! Me alegra mucho saber que usted, su esposa y sus hijos disfrutaron del tour por la ciudad. Siempre hago todo lo posible para ofrecer una atención personalizada y cuidar cada detalle, especialmente cuando hay niños pequeños, para que todos se sientan cómodos y disfruten al máximo. Sus palabras me motivan a seguir dando lo mejor de mí en cada servicio. Fue un gusto enorme acompañarlos y mostrarles lo mejor de Bogotá. Ojalá regresen pronto; será un placer volver a recibirlos y compartir nuevas experiencias con ustedes. De parte de Alejandro y Luis Felipe, ¡muchas gracias! 🇨🇷🇨🇴🇨🇷🇨🇴🇨🇷
