Cycle Bogotá’s neighborhoods, taste exotic fruit, sip local coffee, see street art, and play tejo on a lively 4.5-hour city tour.

“I can highly recommend this tour! It's just awesome! You get so much to see during this time and you delve right into the city. I greatly enjoyed the fruit market where you can try a lot of different fruits. You also visit a café where they make their own coffee. On the way you stop frequently and get information about the neighborhood or things you see, even street art. They look very well after you and help you, if you have a problem with your bike. I always felt very safe and enjoyed the tour very much!”

“Daniel was my guide today, and he exceeded my expectations. He arrived on time, was genuinely friendly, and demonstrated deep knowledge about Bogotá and its culture. Even though my native language is Spanish, I requested the tour in English to practice my listening and speaking skills as a professional interpreter, and Daniel handled it seamlessly. I truly enjoyed exploring some of Bogotá’s most emblematic spots with him. I highly recommend both this tour and Daniel as a guide. Hope to see him next time for another activity. Blessings”
