I'm a professional historian, but since I can remember I have been passionate about traveling. My parents taught me to love my country from a very young age, and I had the luck to travel throughout large parts of Colombia from my early years. For the last 12 years I have devoted myself full time to the art of being a tour guide in Bogotá, especially on historical and cultural tours. I look forward to meeting you very soon on your visit to Bogotá, the amazing capital of Colombia.

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.
Jessy CanadaExcellent tour all around. Arian was our guide and she was fun, entertaining and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
