It was super nice to explore the city center of Medellin and get a first taste of this vibrant city with Jhoan as our guide. He shared a lot of stories and history about the city and Colombia in general. He really custom tailered the experience for our benefit. Would highly recommend Jhoan!

BEST TOUR GUIDE IN BOGOTA!!
Last week we were fortunate to take a private walking tour of the "hidden gems" of Bogota with Juana - loved the tour, loved Juana! The first hour of our tour it was pouring raining but she had a smile on her face and off we went! Juana's English is excellent and she is so knowledgeable about the history and sites of Bogota. Can't recommend this tour with her enough. We feel like we made a new friend.

Wonderful tour with Andrea
We try to set up a tour everywhere we travel to get a sense of the city we are visiting. We were fortunate to book Andrea to share the culture, the highlights and favorite spots of Cartagena. She was so patient in answering all of our questions regarding the history of Colombia, the city of Cartagena and the everyday lives of Colombians. I wished we could have booked Andrea the next day for the food tour but unfortunately was not feeling well. Andrea has so much to offer! You will not go wrong booking her tour to explore this beautiful city.

An Amazing Day in Cartegena
We had a great time with Andrea as our guide. She patiently waited for us and we ran into some obstacles getting to the meeting location. She was very knowledgeable and took us to a number of locations we would have never found on our own.
We sampled street food and had delish coffee. She showed us beautiful streets and took us to some great shopping.
She was patient and kind (we take a lot of pictures). We plan to come back to this beautiful city.
