Prompt service with a large, clean van to accommodate my whole family and our luggage. A friendly guide who helped provide tips on the area was an added bonus.

This tour was such an amazing and memorable tour! Jorge was our tour guide and i 100% recommend him as the tour guide! Hes fluent in both english and spanish. We did the pablo escobar tour and the City of colombia tour with him and we absolutely loved every minute! It was a full day tour for both tours to be completed. He personally knew so many details that it would've been difficult to know had it been a different tour guide. Definitely book this tour and all for Jorge!!

This tour was by far the best experience I have had yet on Trip Advisor! Andres was extremely friendly, passionate and scholarly. He was easy to talk to about anything! All the information he gave us was very interesting and educational. I personally don’t even like coffee, and I still really enjoyed this tour. My boyfriend loves coffee and loved the tour as well. Andres took us through the entire process of making coffee from planting the seed to the different methods of extracting. It was amazing how many flavors you can achieve from the different extraction methods. He took pictures of us along the way so that we could focus on enjoying the experience. The local family he works with were very hospitable and offered us drinks and food along the way. I could not have asked for anything more on this tour. 5+++

I recently moved to Santa Marta with my wife where we can enjoy the beautiful Sierra Nevada and what it has to offer. Going up the sierra nevada to minca to this antique coffee farm in the middle of the jungle is an amazing experience as well as visiting the local beer brewery at the farm whose secret is the water from the Sierra Mountain. LOCALS DO IT BETTER

What an amazing trip. The crew was so much fun and informative. Luis and Jason spoke excellent English which made the trip so much easier. The beaches and landscaping are incredible. Lunch was cooked right on the boat so it doesn’t get any more fresh than that. I enjoyed the trip so much and had to take another trip 2 days later and will be taking another trip next week. This boat and crew is a “must do” while in Santa Marta

The question that leads us to design our routes is ¿why a traveler who visits Bogotá, talks to us about Monserrate, Candelaria and Paloquemao as a local life if our local life are the neighborhoods, the streets and the places that we and our friends visits in our free time and on the weekends? Let's visit Usaquén in the north of Bogotá, Usaquen has a bohemian, classy and cultural feel being in the north of the city. I will introduce you to many cool places around it in this order: 1. A public treasury: to learn a bit the history of the area 2. A cafe: For a taste of Colombian coffee 3. A Restaurant: To eat empanadas 4. A terrace: For a taste of Kombucha (if you don´t like there you have more options) 5. A independent design build: To see colombian design brands. 6. An old Rum house: To drink a cocktail with colombian Rum. We spend between 20 - 30 minutes in some places to have the experiences, while we walk across the complete neighborhood, wich is full of old and charming houses.

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, Snacks, Alcoholic Beverages

Exclusions: Private transportation

This was my fourth and final tour in Bogota, and it ended with a bang (good bang!). I visited Bogota with a friend but he wasn’t feeling well so I decided to do the tour alone. I was running late to this tour since my last tour ended later than it should have, but Angela (tour guide) assured me it was fine. In fact, I was the only one on this tour so it wasn’t a huge deal, but I really appreciate that Angela was super flexible. I was a little nervous being the only person on the tour but all my worries went away the moment me and Angela linked up. The conversation was great throughout the night and the drinks were superb. If you really like cocktails, then you will really enjoy this tour. Though I’m sure the last place was a part of the tour, I loved how Angela was great about me ordering a Columbian Beer. She listened to an earlier comment I made about loving beer and thought I would really enjoy some of the local Colombian beers at this spot. Also, lastly Angela is super cool host who was born in Bogota. You’re not only getting great drinks on this tour, but Angela is also super knowledgeable about Bogota and Chapinero. Her English is great as well! Lastly, she isn’t a part of some tourist company chugging out tour after tour after tour. This is her own company and everything comes out of her own pocket. It’s admirable to see her running her own business and being her own boss! I highly recommend this tour!

Andres was knowledgeable, friendly and courteous throughout the entire trip. Our long drive to the Sumpaz paramos went by quickly with our back and forth conversation. Andres speaks better English than I do! haha the started the hike at a very friendly farmers home with arepas and a hot drink. Then we began to hike up into the Sumapaz. Now I am out of shape due to the lockdown, but would hike often before the pandemic. This was a very difficult hike but not because of the terrain but due to altitude. Andres was very patient, but I promise you once you reach the view where you see the wetlands and lakes, it will all be worth it. I can't wait to visit as many paramos as I can during future visits. Any paramo in the Bogota region, I will only use the Andes Ecotour tour company. A few tips: wear hiking shoes, bring a raincoat the weather can change suddenly throughout the day, bring a hat that can protect your face and neck. You are about 13,000 ft above sea level, the sun is very strong at that level so be sure to protect yourself. Also, bring water!

I've stayed in a lot of hostels and this place is close to being one of the worst. Tiny rooms, unhelpful cleaning staff.. uncomfortable beds. Awful. Double room is the barely big enough for a double bed and right next to the reception. Noticeboard is right next to the window so anybody stopping to discuss their plans will be doing it right outside your room. Reception phone calls may as well be held inside the room due to the thin walls. We booked 2 nights and left after 1.. found a better place (not that difficult) but required access to our room to pick up some clothes we accidentally left in the room. We were told it was occupied and they could enter to have a look around... this was early morning in to the second morning we would have been there. The volunteer staff tried very little to resolve the situation and the owner was only available over the phone. We were told a pack of lies as to why we couldn't speak with them. This place is a shocker. Avoid.
