Join us in this amazing free walking tour through Bogotá's downtown district and learn all about the city's history and culture, making friends along the way.
La Candelaria is a creative hot-spot of Bogotá. There’s nothing like it anywhere else in this sprawling city. Art-deco and colonial houses, with baroque churches behind them; the old and the new intermingled in this free walking tour Bogotá.
Join one of our guides in the heart of Bogotá and discover what this neighborhood has hidden away. Inscribed in graffiti and mixed in the drinks, you’ll discover Bogotá’s colonial and indigenous past, the roots of Colombian history.
A confluence of culture and conflict can be felt all around, as you follow a trail of graffiti through old city streets. Learn about the impact of Colombian drug trafficking, emerald mafia, and how all lines up with its +50 year old armed conflict. State, drugs, war, guerrillas, trade: a volatile mixture that has often blinded us to the better side of Colombia.

Thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour yesterday with Liz and the rest of the group. Was a great activity to immersive myself into as a solo traveller, trying some of the local Colombian fruits as well as coffee (all part of the package). Thoroughly recommend doing this if you're new to the city and want to get some bearings. Thank you Liz!

I loved the entire tour. Christian was the best tour guide I've had yet. And the coffee was outstanding. I could go for more. I loved learning about the history of Colombia and how the country came to be. And la Candelaria has a lot of great food spots to round out the end of the trip.

Great character, fun and educational. Loved the fruit tasting and historical notes. I had a free afternoon in Bogotá and this was the perfect choice

Would have liked a few more details.
It was fun tasting all the different fruits at the market But would have liked to see the inside of the fruit for the ones we did not get to taste. Some tours also had a little juice tasting and would be a good addition

Luis was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and amicable. This tour really explains the rich history of Bogotá, Colombia and leaves you with a greater appreciation for the city. The fruit and coffee tasting included were the icing on top for me.

This was an amazing tour where we got to see lots of the candelería área in Bogotá and learned lots about the culture of the city. Liz was very knowledgeable and super friendly. The tour was also very interactive with fruit tastings and a coffee tasting workshop. I highly recommend this tour!
