My tour guide, Henry Lopez, made the tour very special. His knowledge of the history of Bogota and being able to avoid some of the traffic tie ups were excellent. He is also a very congenial person. I had always wanted to go to Monserrat and it was fantastic to see. The other sites that Henry took me to were just icing on the cake. Since I had been to the Gold Museum, he made a substitution so that I would see and feel the vibe that Bogota has. Henry was also very patient with my picture taking I would highly recommend this tour—especially with Henry.

Henry provided us with a terrific tour of Bogota on December 7. The tour was extremely well organized and Henry was very knowledgeable and passionate about explaining Bogota to new visitors. We loved the visit to Monserrate and the city center - Henry managed all the details for us so we could just enjoy the tour and absorb the culture of a new city. Henry went above and beyond to make sure that we saw all the key landmarks in a short window of time. Highly recommended!!

Unfortunately we had to cancel my city tour due to the security problems that occurred in Bogotá this week. First I asked to move the date as my work colleagues changed our meetings-- Henry was extremely understanding and willing to change the tour date. Then I asked to cancel altogether due to safety concerns at the last moment, and he was again very understanding, polite and extremely quick to respond, and even kind enough to offer to return my deposit. I'm just disappointed that I did not get to do the tour this time. I promise I'll come back one day and will definitely book a tour with Henry!
