What This Is NOT

Let’s set expectations clearly:

❌ Not a history lecture

❌ Not a slow, 3-hour sit-down dinner

❌ Not a budget or street food crawl


⭐ Why Guests Love It

Giovanni was an awesome host and really taught us how to live in Bogota like locals. He has deep knowledge of the area, it’s history and the delicacies of the region. You can tell really tell his passion for his city and Colombian culture and loves sharing it with everyone. You will only try the best of ajiaco soup, Colombian coffee and some of the tastiest new fruits that Colombia is known for. We went to only the best locations, personally curated and we loved learning how to use public transport to feel like real locals getting around. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a chill afternoon for a good head start to the city, or for a cute send off.
