The energy of this metropolitan heart of Colombia is in part fueled by its hundreds of eclectic and authentic dining hot spots, fantastic wines, and frequent foodie festivals. Ask the locals where they like to eat, then walk off your empanadas and aji with a stroll through the historic district of La Candelaria or during an indulgent shopping adventure on the North Side.

Our experience with this airport service was spotless. It is a private service in which the driver will be expecting you at the exit of the rival's gate with a sign bearing your name. Jhovany was very kind. He was wearing a facemask all the time and the car was sanitized. He left us at the hotel and even gave a dining recommendation we followed. Thanks to our travel consultant Paula who arranged it our services.

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!
