This is one of the best tours I’ve ever done, and it’s definitely worth every single dollar. Luis and his brother were amazing tour guides and they showcased us all the beautiful things that Bogota has to offer. Luis is extremely knowledgeable with the Colombian culture and history while still adding an awesome sense of humor to the tour. Trust me, you will not regret this experience.

You have to book a tour with Luis Felipe! We had the most amazing experience in Bogota because of him. From the moment we were picked up from our hotel until our return, Luis Felipe provided A+ service. We were able to see the city in a way that only someone who live in and loves the city can express. Thank you Luis Felipe for making our trip to Bogota unforgettable!

10/10 would recommend spending your day traveling and learning about Bogota with Luis Felipe and Alejandro. Luis Felipe took the time to show us his home and made us feel like part of the family in the comfort of a vehicle. No need to wait for Uber or taxi, being taken from location to location with no worry of parking or buying tickets, He takes care of everything while you are able to take everything in. My family so appreciated being able to see multiple must see locations, and being able to rest in between. If you want to see Bogota Luis Felipe and his service is the absolute way to go. We can't thank him enough for his time and care.

Luis Felipe gave us the most fantastic half day tour. We contacted him at the last minute as our previous tour was cancelled and he didn't hesitate to help us. The tour was very informative and he was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. It was well worth doing and we saw and learnt far more than if we had tried to do it all ourselves. Highly recommended and couldn't fault it.

We booked a half day tour of Bogotá with Alejandro and Luis Felipe as part of a layover during a business trip, and could not have enjoyed it more. Friendly, safe, reliable, and knowledgeable driver-guides with a wealth of information on the historical and cultural hot spots of the city. And a lot of fun too. Highly recommend!

This was honestly the best tour I’ve done in a long time. I came to Bogota with my mother and we were looking for a private driver that can show us his city and teach us more about the country. Luis Felipe our driver and guide was funny, very kind, on time, flexible and so easy to be around. He has great knowledge, perfect English, humour, he understands what his clients want and is flexible to change the schedule if needed. We had such a good time - thank you very much!!

This tour was one of the hands-down best days of my LIFE. We were in Bogota celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary, and we booked an 8-hour tour - the truth was that I really wanted to see the city, but I found it really overwhelming digging through best-of-Bogota blogs to try to plan what to do. Luis took care of that for us and planned the most amazing day! He responded on Whatsapp to my inquiry immediately, and I just gave him some loose ideas about the kinds of things we were interested in, and he did the rest. My husband isn't really into museums, but we were very interested in pre-colonial history. Luis insisted on the Gold Museum, and it was the perfect place to see, experience, and interact with that history we were craving. We spent way more time there than we expected and it just flew by because we were so engrossed in discussion and immersed in history. So, trust Luis's recommendations - he knows what he's talking about!

We also went shopping through a craft market where I bought some emeralds which were extreeeemely affordable because they were mined locally, saw some art, got amazing photos at scenic spots, had Colombian coffee and cakes, and then ventured up to Mount Monserrat. Monserrat is a tiny little city on top of the mountains - we took a cable car up, visited the church which was full of very unique artifacts including Black Madonna and Black Jesus, and had lunch at the most gorgeous restaurant on a cliff with incredible views. Luis guided us through the menu: we ordered waaaay too much food but 100% of it was delicious and I do recommend the sangria.

Luis is knowledgeable and professional - he took care of all the tickets, orders, and logistics - but also super kind, thoughtful, and open-hearted. He answered all our questions and gave us tons of information, but he also shared his stories and opinions, despite the fact that many of these topics, including colonization and the drug war, were painful and traumatic. We discussed ancient ways of life easily alongside current events. By the end of the day, we had learned so much, been on an amazing adventure, and felt like we'd made a friend for life.

My only regret was that we booked this tour on the final day of our trip because we left exhausted, but more curious than ever and energized to learn more about this incredible country, which I think has so much to teach us about our world and our future. So book a tour (or tours!) and do so as soon as you can!
