BuCountry tours was the supplier and very professional. Showed up on time and confirmed my guesthouse location. 1/2 day tour took in the Plateau neighborhood, two markets and a wander around the old capital a few minutes away. Ricardo was a very knowledgeable guide and gave me so much information. Very engaging and speaks English fluently. He came prepared with maps and some printed info reference. Really recommend them.

Our recent tour was excellent! The entire experience was well-organized and exceeded our expectations. A major highlight was our guide, Anton, who made the tour truly memorable. His deep knowledge of the area, combined with his engaging storytelling, kept us captivated throughout the day. Anton was friendly, attentive, and always ready to answer questions, making sure everyone felt included and informed.
