We spent 5 hours of our 8-hour layover in Colombia with Luis Felipe and Alejandro. We had a great time, to say the least.

Luis Felipe is very knowledgeable and provides excellent insight and conversation. You can tell he knows and loves his city and country. He took us to some excellent places based on our interests.

This tour was one of the Best we had! Felipe was great. He made our layover in Bogota unforgetful. Because of him we saw so many things in our short 6 hours long layover. He even waited for us in the airport very early in the morning. Hiš knowlage is very impressive and he took us to the Best breakfast we had in our 2 weeks long trip around central and south america. We recomend it very much.

Such a great tour with Luis Felipe! He is very personable and knows a lot about the city and history of Colombia. I did a layover tour over 5-6 hours and felt like I learned a lot and timed passes very quickly. I would absolutely recommend!

I had an extended layover in Bogota on a recent trip alone. As a solo female, I knew I didn't want to wait at the airport but also wanted to know that I (and my luggage) would be taken care of during a City Tour. I had nothing to worry about with Luis and his brother Alejandro. Luis was fast to respond to any email I sent and we changed to What's App once I arrived in Colombia. They met me at the airport Starbucks and we started the tour early. I was instantly at ease with their obvious experience and understanding of what I was looking for during a layover tour. Alejandro took my bags and we got into a very nice, clean car and were off. Luis was so knowledgable and was able to answer all my questions. Alejandro dropped us off at each site and stayed with the car eliminating the need for parking and to insure that my luggage was not left unattended. Luis gave me a personal tour through each site and museum and was able to really add a personal touch. The day ended having a chocolate tasting and then coffee and pastries on a patio with Luis just chatting. It was exactly was I was looking for. At no time did I feel rushed and I felt like a friend by the end of the tour. I highly recommend Luis and Alejandro and look forward to touring with them again.

The guide was excellent. He has a way of working out what you are interested in and then tailors the conversation accordingly. My husband and I are very interested in history and politics and we were catered for accordingly. From the beginning we were treated extremely politely and based on our need (my husband cannot walk very fast so this was taken into account). We learned so much and came away with a very different view of Columbia to what the history papers tell you!! At one point the tour was amended slightly to accommodate our preferences. Overall a 10 out of 10 experience and we would recommend this to anyone.

I had a great time on this layover tour. Luis was prompt and easy to find at the airport. His brother drove the car which helped tremendously because there was never any concern about wasting time finding parking, and Luis accompanied me to all the sights I wanted to see on my list. His English is great and my non-existent Spanish was not a problem. We made it back to the airport with plenty of time to spare. I highly recommend booking Luis and his tour for a great experience!

Great day exploring Bogotá during a layover. The whole process was seamless from the pick up at the airport to travelling around the city. Luis Felipe is a great guide and Alejandro was always right around the corner when we were ready to go. We learnt so much about this interesting city.
