I took the Spanish tour hoping my command of the language would improve. That didn't happen but Alejanda (guide) was just great. Her knowledge of Villa de Leyva and Cololmbia is vast. And she went out of her way to help me understand. Gena and everyone at Parche Cachaco Tours are the best - friendly and fun. Def people to spend 14 hours with.

Este tour de un día completo fue excelente. Nos buscaron puntual al hotel. Nos llevaron a desayunar (incluido). La guía Alejandra nos brindó super interesante información durante todo el viaje. Villa de Leyva es un lugar muy hermoso que definitivamente vale la pena visitar El chofer fue muy precavido conduciendo. Nos sentimos bien seguros. Y por último, la anfitriona Gina ESPECTACULAR!!!!
