Fietstocht door Bogotá met straatkunst

Op de advertentie stond dat dit een straatkunsttour was, maar we zagen amper 5 stukken. Er stond ook dat dit 6 uur zou zijn, maar het waren amper 3 uur. Miguel was een aardige gids en hij deed zijn best, maar dit was gewoon niet wat er werd geadverteerd. Bovendien staat op het punt waar we beginnen 52 . 000 pesos, wat ongeveer 14 dollar is. Hiervoor 40 betalen op viator is totale afzetterij.

I booked this tour only one day before. I’ve done cycle tours in several cities and I really enjoy them. This place was really difficult to find. The Uber dropped me off close by and I paced up and down trying to find it. After twenty minutes of still not finding it, I sent a message to the tour operator. Then I tried again. I went into the building only to be told this wasn’t the place. The staff don’t speak very good English which is ironic when this trip is catered for tourists. So I left there and went on another walk to find the location. Google maps were not wrong, the building I entered surely was the place, the staff were just clueless. I asked to speak to the manager and he then said he’d phone his friend ????????????. The friend turned out to be an employee of the company Miguel. The sign was hung on a hook outside the building but had not been there when I was trying to find the location. Either that or the wind had rotated it thus hiding the vital information? So while I waited for him, because I was early incase of hiccups, I sat in the restaurant. The manager asked if I wanted to order anything? Sure I said, do you have a menu I could understand? No was the reply, photo’s, recommendations? Still no, so I ordered coffee as you could point to that lol. Miguel turned up shortly after and immediately I felt at ease. What a really nice guy. Informative, friendly and very empathetic. We chose our bikes and set off on the tour. It was just the two of us. He knows every inch of the city and is very experienced. He’s a credit to the company. He even told me how coffee is produced and manufactured. He is a proud patriotic Colombian and this is exactly what you need on a tour like this. A full five hours we spent seeing the highlights of the city. We started out as strangers and by the end of the tour we were friends. Highly recommended and five stars. ????????????????????????????????????

The guide was good , the coffee amazing the bike sucked !!! It was hard to pedal and keep up despite my efforts stopping for one of the street mechanics . If you are going to run a place that makes the money out of bikes I would assume the bikes would be In a good shape ! I was frustrated and very mad about it. And also when I got to the address “they had close called the cel phone in a restaurant nearby and no answer . Would not recommend unless they get better bikes
