5.00We did a guided tour of Bogota and the experience was excellent. The guide, Catalina, was very professional, friendly and knew perfectly the history and details of each place we visited. It took us through emblematic sites and also less touristy corners, which made the tour even more interesting. In addition, he answered all our questions and made sure we were comfortable at all times. I totally recommend this experience; it is an ideal way to get to know Bogotá in a close, safe and enriching way.
