Un tour inolvidable

Un tour inolvidable, y un guía turístico bien preparado!

Cesar Moreno · October 2026

Formidable

El Tour con Jorge fue muy interesante. Por qué incluso presentandome yo a la cita tubo el compromiso de realizarlo. Muy bien informado y un excelente comunicador siempre dispuesto a contestar todas las dudas. 100% recomendable!

Very interesting tour with Jorge

I was very pleased with this tour. There were not enough people to do the normal tour but the guide Jorge offered me a private tour at a reasonable price, and he was flexible with the starting time to accommodate me. We visited many interesting places and Jorge provided ample commentary on Bogotá's ancient, early and recent history. Highly recommended.

Imperdible!

Amor por Bogotá y por Colombia, pedagogía y un paseo que se siente como una conversa enriquecedora entre amigos de mucho tiempo es lo que caracteriza este tour. Jorge es un extraordinario anfitrión, que te cuenta con suma generosidad la historia de una Bogotá distinta, y te lleva por una ruta de colores, sabores y mucha historia incluidos datos curiosos y lugares emblemáticos. Gracias Jorge por tu humanidad y tu buena energía! si van a Bogotá, no duden ir a sus toures guiados!
