A wholesome, informative and rewarding experience! Luis speaks perfect English, he is extremely knowledgeable and interactive. I went alone and was a little unsure what to expect but from start to finish it was enjoyable. I recommend anyone visiting Bogota to share this experience with Luis.

If you are looking for a guide with superior knowledge of history, politics and culture then Luis Felipe is your man. We worked with Luis for two full days. His brother Alejandro also joined us for one of the days. We had some really great conversations. We did the Bogota Offbeat Full-Day Tour, Salt Cathedral,and Andres Carne de Res Restaurant. I would recommend all three if possible. It was a fabulous time. Luis really made Colombia come alive for us and we are looking forward to visiting this amazing country again. Luis Felipe was so easy to work with. It was like hanging out with a friend. Do not hesitate to work with Bogota Driver Guide Service. They were excellent!

Great tour with Luis! Luis provided an authentic look at the culture and daily life in Bogota. We visited a local market to sample fresh fruits and a delicious breakfast. During the tour we also had a chocolate tasting, local coffee and beer. We visited Monserrate, where we had amazing views of the city. Along the way, we stopped for a traditional Colombian lunch that was absolutely delicious—such a great way to immerse ourselves in the local cuisine! The tour was well-organized, with comfortable transportation provided from our hotel. Luis made the experience personal and flexible while learning a lot about Colombia.

We (two couples) had the best two days with Luis Philipe and his brother Alejandro. We went to a local market and tried avocados from the region and so many fruits we had never seen before. We ate authentic Colombian food which was delicious. Our guides maneuvered us through the crowds at Monserrate and obtained fast passes so we skipped the lines. The views from the top were amazing!! After a lunch at another local market we enjoyed coffee and cake at a local place and then went to have a beer and play tejo. The game was a lot of fun. We felt like locals. All throughout the day Luis was so informative and engaging. He knows so much about his country, history and local culture. We felt like we got to see the “real” Bogota, not just typical tourist areas. We enjoyed our first day so much that we booked Luis and Alejandro for a second day. The second day consisted of a trip to the salt mine cathedral and a fun dinner at a local restaurant we would never have found in our own. I can’t say enough about what wonderful people Luis and his brother are. We feel like we gained two friends by the end of our weekend.

Wow! Luis and his brother are the best! It was our first day in Bogota and they showed us the best this beautiful city has to offer. Luis was the guide and his brother drove us in a clean, comfy private car. Luis has such extensive knowledge of the history, food and culture of Columbia. I highly recommend!

We only had one stop over in Bogota and arrived in the afternoon. To make the best of it we booked a tour directly from the airport. Luis has already informed us via WhatsApp that he is waiting for us at the airport and welcomed us warmly. We didn't want to see any museums, so we emailed Luis' suggestions in advance. What can I say, perfect from start to finish. We learned a lot about Bogota and Colombia in the short time that was available to us and really enjoyed the time with Luis. The best came at the end, a Tejo Game, you should definitely have done it!! We highly recommend Bogota Driver Guide Service, flexible, interesting, warm, fun and very informative! We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know Bogota! 6* thumbs up and thanks for the wonderful afternoon in Bogota!! Susanne and Philipp from Austria

This is a great tour offered by the most knowledgeable guide. We had a full day of activity, with food tasting, sightseeing, traditional games, and local site visiting. Luis and his brother are super friendly, professional and engaging throughout the whole tour. We are the first time visiting South America, and after taking the tour, we feel we learned a lot, with regard to the culture, history, and people. This tour is highly recommend to anyone who has interests in touring Bogota and definitely a 5-star experience.

Luis was very knowledgeable and accommodating when we wanted to see other areas of the city. His knowledge of Bogota and Columbia's history was impressive. We learned a lot about Bogota and its relationship with the U.S. and why Bogota loves the U.S. He went out of his way for me to get an item that I needed. I highly recommend Bogota Driver Guide Service and Luis.

Actually we just wanted to book a pick up at the airport to get to the hotel quick and safe. But the first contact with Luis was so nice and uncomplicated that we immediately decided to book a tour. Fruits Tasting, Coffee Tasting and Tejo Game was our choice and we did everything right. Luis was an excellent companion who showed us everything in detail, calm and cool and explained us a lot. We saw a great city and learned many about Bogota and Colombia, thanks to the good guide. We were brought carefully, safely and punctually to all designated stations, but there was always time to explore everything extensively. Luis responded to all our requests, was flexible, patient and very friendly. We had a great day. Our secret tip for Bogota, Tejo Game!

This was an interesting and well presented tour with a good balance of food, history and seeing Bogota. Luis was a fun, friendly well informed gentleman with a passion for his home City and fantastic language and people skills. The tour was well arranged, with time enough to take in the city fell as well as experience the wonderful tastings and sights offered. As a result of this tour we were more fully able to enjoy the rest of our trip to Colombia. Would definitely recommend to others.
