I was traveling solo on a one-day layover in Bogota, and I wanted to be able to see the sights while being safe in the short amount of time. Carlos was my Tour guide and he picked me up from my hotel and took me to Montserrate and La Candelaria. He was very knowledgeable, I got to try some of the local cuisine, and he dropped me off at my hotel after. Would recommend this company to anyone visiting Bogota.
