Tomás Vargas
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!

Highly recommend this tour with our guide Jorge! He was kind, knowledgeable and very passionate about Bogota. Jorge lead us through the flower and fruit markets and taught us about the regional diversity through a marvelous fruit tasting. Highlights are our visit to the Bogati Museum and to Monserrat at sunset. Jorge bought the city of Bogota to life showing us it’s beautiful art, nature and mixing in a wonderful lunch and coffee experience. He also took wonderful photos of our family!
thomaseileenWe had a the best city tour in Bogota! Our guide, Esteban, was just amazing - very thorough, culturally insightful, super efficient, accommodating, and a joy to be with on the tour. We hit so many places - the Gold Museum, the Candelaria/Old Town, the Botero museum, the Jaguar coffee tasting, walking around to see authentic/unique stores, etc. While we wanted a more foundational tour since it was our first time in Bogota, we also hoped to see some graffiti. Esteban was incredibly accommodating and made a point to stop at some graffiti highlights throughout the tour. We also went to some very cool stores to buy authentic pieces (graffiti art poster & club tops for our daughter, coffee for my husband, museum book tor me). We ended the tour in a new area to explore. We had lunch reservations at Andres D.C. and then Esteban told us how to find some local shops we wanted to visit. Overall, we all loved the tour and felt like it was a very special experience. We all highly recommend it!
Paradise50808328138We only had one full day at Bogotá, thanks to the good planning of our guide Fernando, we managed to visit all the sites on our list incl. multiple churches, street arts, museums and the Monserrate. It was a memorable tour and we appreciate the company of Fernando, who is knowledgeable and caring, explained the places and culture in details and is extremely patient. We also had opportunity to taste local fruits, chocolates, and a really yummy Colombian lunch!! Overall, a safe, wonderful, and well-worthy experience!! Many thanks ?!!
