We had a absolutely great time in Bogota together with Felipe! He picked us up at the airport and we had beautiful tours together with him (City Tour Bogota, Salt Cathedral, "Holy Lake" and the coffee farm). He was always on time and explained us so many things about Bogota and Colombia that, after a few days, we felt like being home. By the way - he talks excellent English - not very common in Colombia...
We will for sure book his services again when we are back in Colombia!
