Discover the stories that shaped Colombia
Two hundred years of history have given rise to one of Latin America's most dynamic countries. Much like its geography, Colombia's history is full of challenging landscapes and a timeline marked by characters who inspire admiration and curiosity.
On our historical tour, you'll see Bogotá's places that capture each era of this young nation, even from before the arrival of the Spanish. An expert guide will give insight into how indigenous history is reflected in the mountains surrounding Bogotá, how colonial heritage lives on in churches and museums, how new generations have filled the city with outdoor art, and how Colombia’s future is shaping up.
Your private transport allows you to explore Bogotá in detail. You'll walk through the historical center of La Candelaria, enjoy panoramic views from key viewpoints, and follow the story of the city along Carrera Séptima, the main road that has transformed over centuries.
Our historical tour includes professional guides well-versed in Colombia's social, cultural, and economic history, letting you experience Bogotá's spirit firsthand.

By the end of the week, I felt I'd made a new friend and was leaving a city I had fallen in love with. If and when we get to go back, I'll be asking Daniel to take us to more sites and share more of his favorite places with us. I can't adequately express how much his time and dedication to our trip meant to me. Absolutely wonderful tour guide.
