Did you know that Colombia is considered the second most biodiverse country in the world? Thanks to its location on the Equator line, Colombia enjoys a diversity of climates and landscapes, resulting in varied soils that nurture a wide array of native and exotic fruits.

During this tour, you'll taste what's been hailed as the world's best bread, sample over 12 varieties of fruits, marvel at the colors of Colombian flowers, and discover the remedies and beliefs passed down by our grandmothers in my favorite corner of the market.

A wonderful tour with Wayra. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of Bogota. She speaks beautiful English and ensured that during my time with her we could really experience Colombian food and culture. She made my morning welcoming, fun and educational.Getting to know Bogota

Our family of 4 did the 3 hour tour with Wayra on our first day in Bogota. She took us through La Candelaria and Santa Fe districts and provided interesting facts about the history. She also provided a tasting of local fruits that we’d never heard of and showed us new things to try from the food vendors. She has a very easy going manner and is a great communicator. Great tour with Wayra

Wayra est sympathique et cultivée. Elle nous a appris plein de choses sur la culture colombienne tout en nous faisant goûter les spécialités Colombiennes (restaurants et street-food). Nous avons adoré (2 adultes, 2 ados et 1 enfant). Parfait pour toute la familleUn incontournable à faire

We had a wonderful time in Bogota and especially because Wayra was our guide. She is a very pleasant, communicative and adaptable person and definitely knows her way around the city. We enjoyed the tour along several highlights in the city, great food and interesting conversations about local history, art, food, music and life. After a full day with Wayra at our side we can confirm the excellent reviews we read before booking her as our guide. Highly recommended ! The best way to visit Bogota !

We enjoyed our tour with Wayra to the local food market, tasting fruit and fruit juices we did not know existed, delicious local bread and chica. I also loved the traditional local chocolate store and her restaurant and cafe tip. Wayra is nice to hang out with and knowledgable about Bogota. Walking around with her made me feel a bit less like a tourist. I can recommend her 100%.Amazing tour to hidden treasures

The prefect way to find your feet in Bogota. Wayra was relaxed and informative, we strolled around the best parts of the city and found out about the customs, culture, history and interests of the people. A little bit about the politics and the habits of the city. Recommended if you want be more informed about this beautiful city, and spend some time with a local. Relax and explore.

We had such a wonderful time on our tour with Wayra!
Even before our day, Wayra was communicative and open to working with us to make a walking tour that catered to our interests. Her suggestion to tweak our outting to include the Paloqueamo Market based on our curiosity about all the Colombian fruits was so thoughtful.
So that’s where we started, and I’m so glad we did! Visiting the market with her was so much fun and a fascinating peek into Colombian culture - she bought like 10 fruits for us and organized for them to be cut so we could easily try them, told us stories about when she or Colombians in general eat them, translated what sellers wanted us to know, and even had us stop to try breads. It was so fun!
From there we went to La Calendaria where we toured her favorite hidden gems, heard history and superstitions alike, saw some amazing views, walked through highlights at the Botero museum, and made a (fantastic) coffee stop to keep our energy high.
Wayra’s energy, fun, creativity and care all came through and truly made the tour feel like a well organized walk with a dear friend. As you might imagine, would highly recommend doing a tour with Wayra to get to know Bogota!
A wonderful, memorable tour experience!

La mejor guía que se pueda tener. Tuvimos con Wayra un tour personalizado de 4 horas (que al final fueron 5) y visitamos Monserrate y todo el centro histórico, fue completísimo.
Wayra fue una guía magnífica: nos explicó la historia, curiosidades, nos llevó a sitios que solo van locales, probamos la gastronomía típica, fue empática, divertida, paciente...y además es fotógrafa, con lo que nos hacía con nuestros teléfonos unas fotos maravillosas, que también es algo importante para tener buenos recuerdos.
Sin duda, recomendamos a Wayra para vuestro tour!!Fantástica!

I recently had the pleasure of taking a tour of Bogotá with Wayra, and I must say, it was an experience I won't forget and as someone who travels a lot, but without much time on hands, I wish all tours were like Wayra’s. Not only did she possess an extensive knowledge of the city and Colombia as a whole, but she also had a remarkable ability to tailor the tour to my interests. As a lover of arts, music, and literature, I was thrilled that she crafted the tour around these themes, offering fascinating insights and anecdotes and hostoric facts along the way.
What truly impressed me was her fluency in English, which made communication effortless, and her ability to infuse the tour with a modern perspective on Colombia's rich cultural landscape. It wasn't just a recitation of dry facts; it was a nuanced exploration of where Colombia stands today, culturally and socially.
Moreover, Wayra has an infectious sense of humor that kept the tour lively and engaging. The stop for coffee, Botero museum, and MAMBO were my highlight, not only for the delicious brew but also for the opportunity to chat and exchange ideas in a relaxed setting.
Overall, I recommend Wayra’a tour. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, personable, and downright delightful guide to show you the best of Bogotá, reach out to Wayra.Excellent custom

Having just landed in Bogota we wanted to explore the city, but also had safety concerns so wanted to get up to speed quickly. Wayra was the perfect guide to achieve this. Her English is great, enabling us to clearly understand all of the information being shared about the city, its origins, food and culture. She also shared tips about the do’s and don’ts of traveling in this wonderful country. The pace of the tour was perfect, not too slow or fast, not too pushy. All in all a great experience. We highly recommend Wayra should you get the chance to visit BogotaGreat time
