Sebastián Huérfano
I am a historian from Bogotá, with a Master's degree in environmental history. I am passionate about the heritage, local history and nature of the Bogotá and Zipaquirá region. I like cycling, mountain views and a good coffee with a good conversation.
Welcome to Colombia, the country of magical realism and natural and social biodiversity. My goal is for all visitors to feel a unique experience within the rich Colombian culture and history.
Sebastián Giraldo
Colombia has given me everything I am and what I have, from my way of thinking to how I eat. Bogotá has built my identity and has shown me that just by getting on a bus I can see the contrasts of a nation that we continue to build day by day.
From my work and my profession, I not only want to show the beautiful face of the country where I was born, but also its history, resilience, strength, the warmth and flavor of its people, and that those who visit us can say with conviction "I love Colombia!".
I am Sebastián Giraldo, an innate traveler. I love music, fruits, languages and learning about my culture and that of the world. I am willing to leave a pleasant Colombian mark on your experience in our country.
Santiago Rico
My curiosity to know the history, to travel the territory and to recognize the beauty that is perceived in Colombia led me to become a professional historian and a passionate traveler. I am a talkative, friendly and respectful person who not only likes to teach what I have learned, but also to learn in the process of our travels.
As a famous Arab proverb says "He who lives sees much, he who travels sees more" so, I wish that from my narratives and interpretations you can see and recognize a little more of this beautiful country and also, of course, learn from our incredibly warm and kind culture!

An amazing tour. It’s definitely worth it if you don’t have much time in Bogotá. The guide is super attentive and knows the city inside out. It’s really a great tour for anyone who doesn’t have much time in the city.
vvianav2024I had a few hours to kill in Bogota so I booked this tour. After exiting the arrivals area, I met Joel, the tour guide, who was knowledgeable & very interactive during the trip. In addition to explaining the history & other relevant information, he provided great advice for photo ops and useful tips for future travel to Bogota. As the driver Luis skillfully navigated the streets of Bogota, we were able to hit all the spots on the itinerary with time to spare. It was an incredible few hours in beautiful Bogota.
