5.00The tour was great! We explored the real Bogotá through Sandra’s eyes. She was incredibly fun and energetic, and honestly reminded me of my grandma in the best way. I would completely do this tour again next time I’m in Bogotá.

5.00I really liked this tour, Sandra is an excellent person and guide who helped me get to know the area better. I find it a good choice for families because it is very quiet.

5.00I was fortunate enough to take the tour alone. Mrs. Sandra is fun, cultured and knows a lot about Bogota. The talk with her was very pleasant and accommodated my visit to my tastes and interests. I highly recommend the “Granny Tour” at the end you will feel that you are talking to your grandmother!
