I booked this trip the morning of. The group IMPULSE worked very hard to arrange a driver and a guide. I accidentally got in the wrong car leaving my hotel yes... I know... duhhh and the company worked with the driver to get me to the drop off point to meet my guide. The rest of the tour was amazing. I saw EVERYTHING on my list in only 5 hours and I did not feel rushed at all. Highly reccomend!”

This tour was great! But I encouraged you to ask for Fabian Correa as your tour guide. Fabian is a very well educated young man who knows everything from Bogota City and can show you what this city is about. He spent the whole 5 hours with me, showed me the great city view from the Monserrate and always with a lot of interesting facts and information. Highly recommended but with Fabian! :-”

Interesting contrast between old and new sections of downtown Bogota each has its distinct character and charm. The governmental square features the picturesque capitol and lots of friendly pigeons. The cobble-stone streets of the less modern city sector lead to several delightful restaurants and bars. The cable car provided us breathtaking views of entire city. Our professional tour guide spoke impeccable English, enabling my wife and I to thoroughly enjoy the moments.”
