This was a fabulous experience! You know the tour is excellent when both the sights and the tour guide are equally impressive! Our guide Jorge was extremely knowledgeable and courteous all whilst immersing us in the Colmbian culture! My girlfriend and I feel a kinship to Bogota (more than any wikipedia page could do). The greatest tour guide one could ask for. I highly recommend this trip!
