I am a passionate tour guide in Bogotá with a solid background in history and a deep love for art. For the past 7 years, I have had the privilege of taking visitors on a fascinating journey through Colombian history and culture.
My passion for art is also reflected in my tours, where I can share knowledge about the most prominent works and the most relevant artistic movements in the region.
Whether you wish to explore the city's rich history, immerse yourself in its vibrant culture, marvel at its art, or enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds it, I am here to make your experience in Bogotá unforgettable.
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!

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.
