Not only was Álvaro a knowledgeable guide, he also made sure I left with a full belly and even some souvenirs! I had no idea the amount of historical significance this market holds for the Afro-Caribbean population in Colombia! It also inspired me to change my plans and take a day trip to Palenque!”

See Bogotá by bike on a 4 to 5-hour tour through historic squares, street art, Paloquemao Market, coffee, fruit tasting, and tejo.

“The bikes were in excellent shape. Even the tires were purposely underinflated just a little to help cushion some of the bad roads on the streets of Bogota. The guide was fun and knowledgeable about the city. We visited Bolivar Plaza, a coffee roaster to learn how the coffee is made, a large fruit and meat market, and other popular areas around the city. This trip hardly cost anything but you got to see so many different site that the value was unbelievable. Total time was about 4 or 5 hours. I highly recommend this trip to others!”

“This was the best experience I had in Cartagena. My husband and I just got back last night and we are still talking about this tour. Before booking I read all the reviews on Viator and Trip Advisor. They deserve (and am pretty sure they received) 5 stars across the board. Angel, his wife Maria and his daughter Maria Angelica were so welcoming and wonderful. Angel and Maria Angelica were our guides in the Bazurto Market and made sure to keep us safe, informed and fed! We stopped to enjoy some breakfast, delicious fresh juices and even some fresh fruit. All while buying ingredients for our lunch. After the market…”
