On the positive side, I would say Villa de Leyva and Raquira are good places to visit.
However I had the worst guide ever. Virtually mute. No conversation, hardly any information given about the places visited, even when I asked questions to try and get something I only got the briefest answers. Clearly didn't want to talk, whether he didn't want to talk to me, or was just grumpy I have no idea. After finishing his lunch he sat sideways on to me looking away, so rude. And seemed much more interested in his phone and vaping than the tour. Isn't the guide supposed to be your host???
And it was a long journey both ways, yet not one tiny piece of background information about the area, or Colombia, or anything......
In terms of tour content, it would have been nice to have longer at Villa de Leyva, and to have some free time there, maybe even lunch. The same applies to Raquira, I'd have liked some free time to wander round. As to the Pozos Azules, I didn't feel they added anything to the tour at all, and could easily be skipped and the time used at the more interesting places. And the palaeontology museum... ? never saw it, not mentioned at all. A bit off considering I paid for admission! To at least mention it and ask if I wanted to go would have been nice. Lunch was good, breakfast not, and location for breakfast was cold and bleak, and very noisy.
All in all, I feel ripped off. I paid a lot for this trip. It was not good value for money, at all. It was a very long day, I only had less than 1.5 hours in the main place Villa de Leyva. In all honesty if I had my time again I'd use the money to pay for a transfer there and back and an overnight hotel.
