5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ after spending a week in Colombia with Luis as our driver and guide. From the moment we contacted him to arrange our trip, he was professional, kind, generous and transparent. Luis met us at the airport with our name on a tablet and took us to our hotel. Later in the week he helped us arrange travel around the country and he went above and beyond with sharing the history and significance of each part of Bogota and Medellin that we explored. His prices were very fair and most importantly, he gave us confidence to travel around and feel secure because he was attentive, knowledgeable and professional with every experience. I would definitely recommend Luis and his driver/ and guide service. He is a “small business” and we were happy to encourage him and support him because he really has a passion for his country, history, art, culture, and providing great logistics and hospitality for travelers. He made our trip exceptional and we hope to return soon. We highly recommend Luis! Johnny B. / Mario / Joel, New York, USA

Andres did a wonderful job explaining the context and nuances of Colombian food, culture, people and current political context. Plus we got to explore some wonderful neighbourhoods. A bit pricier than some of the others, but well worth the extra cost. I can't recommend highly enough!

Maria Jose is a young entrepreneur who runs a business doing tours of the fruit markets. She is highly committed to fostering the eco-diversity of Colombia and sharing her passion for that and her country overall. She did a four hour tour for us in Bogata that was a highlight of the trip. As many others say, this is much more than a market tour or a fruit tasting. She shares so many insights about the country, culture and the state of sustainability in Colombia. She wants to make a difference! For example, she saved the pits from fruits we tasted so they can be cultivated. Que bueno MaJo!

Daniel, our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us everything from the oldest parts of Bogota to the new parts of the city and the plans for the future. This was a last minute trip so I had not done much research into Bogota prior to my trip. The guided tour through the city and to Mount Monserrate made the trip worth while. Daniel was also very patient with my limited Spanish.
