Una experiencia increíble que recomiendo totalmente! Este tour fue, sin duda, una de las mejores experiencias de mi viaje a Bogotá. Desde el inicio, la organización fue excelente y todo estuvo muy bien coordinado. El recorrido es interesante, entretenido y permite conocer una parte de Bogotá que probablemente no descubrirías por tu cuenta. Ojalá todas las personas que vienen a Bogotá puedan tomar este tour. Vale muchísimo la pena!! Translate this opinion into English.

An incredible experience that I highly recommend! This tour was, without a doubt, one of the best experiences of my trip to Bogotá. From the very beginning, the organization was excellent and everything was very well coordinated. The tour is interesting, entertaining, and allows you to discover a part of Bogotá that you probably wouldn't find on your own. I hope everyone who comes to Bogotá can take this tour. It's absolutely worth it!! Opinion translated. Show original.

The tour was amazing and very authentic. Everything was perfectly organized, and all wishes and needs were taken care of. All questions were answered, and we were given very interesting information throughout. I had some concerns about safety, but thanks to the excellent organization and the two guides—even though we were a relatively small group—I always felt safe. I can highly recommend this tour if you want to experience Colombia authentically and take beautiful photos.

Actividad completamente diferente a las que estamos acostumbrados a realizar como turistas. Muy recomendable ver la parte más vulnerable de la ciudad. Nos sorprendió para bien. Nuestro guía, Jhon, fue genial. Nos explicó muy claramente cómo es la vida en Ciudad Bolívar y cómo ha cambiado en los últimos años. Muy recomendable . Translate this opinion into English.

Foi um dos meus passeios preferidos em Bogotá! Interessante conhecer o outro lado da realidade da cidade e como as pessoas têm habilidades incríveis de transformar os lugares onde moram com arte e criatividade. A subida no teleférico foi incrível, pois permite ver toda a Bogotá e principalmente o bairro Ciudad Bolívar. Os guias David Cruz e Samuel são ótimas pessoas, sempre atenciosos e com muita vivacidade durante o passeio. Translate this opinion into English.

It was one of my favorite tours in Bogotá! It's interesting to get to know the other side of the city's reality and how people have incredible skills to transform the places they live in with art and creativity. The ride on the cable car was amazing, as it allows you to see all of Bogotá, especially the Ciudad Bolívar neighborhood. The guides David Cruz and Samuel are great people, always attentive and very lively during the tour. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una experiencia muy enriquecedora para conocer la autentica Bogotá. Del norte al sur la realidad es muy diferente. Nunca vi un contraste tan grande. El paseo en cable es sobrecogedor y bonito. Samuel y John grandes anfitriones, con una labor social para quitarse el sombrero. Por favor que nadie se lo pierda. Translate this opinion into English.

A very enriching experience to get to know the authentic Bogotá. From north to south the reality is very different. I have never seen such a great contrast.

Très belle expérience hors des sentiers battus. Tout était parfaitement organisé. Notre guide David, très compétent et très attentionné, connaissant parfaitement le sujet de l'excursion.

Fantastic tour. Really interesting to see another side of the city and to hear about how people live and learn about the investment in the area. Fransisco was an excellent host and you can really see his passion for people and the area. Would recommend to anyone visiting Bogota

Adoramos a experiência feita com o Francisco. Conhecer a realidade local e os projetos que estão implementando. O Francisco sempre nos fez sentir muito seguros e com muito conhecimento do bairro e de Bogotá. Todos que vêm à Bogotá, deveriam passar por esta experiência.

Franscisco was the best guide for this tour. His communication as to the exact pick up location was spot on, and he added such colorful commentary to this tour through his stories and in-depth knowledge of each and every site. He was also super conscientious to guide me on the right bus back to my hotel.

Francisco was the best guide. He was very informative and friendly. As a past resident it shows the pride that Francisco has in the neighborhood, also this was not a rushed on a strict schedule tour. We were given time to enjoy the neighborhood at our leisure. I truly see El Paraiso as a Paradise. It is so beautiful and to see the way people work to improve their lives impresses me so much, Amazing tour I am happy I chose civitatis.

Todo estuvo excelente, el guía Fernando muy amable y nos fue contando muchos detalles interesantes, tanto de la ciudad como de la zona (Paraíso) a la que iríamos. Ya en Paraíso nos acompaño un joven muy amable que nos fue contando un poco de como han mejorado la vida en esa zona. Solo tuvimos un pequeño inconveniente para encontrarnos con el guía, recomiendo usen alguna cosa para identificarse cerca del museo. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was excellent, the guide Fernando was very friendly and he told us many interesting details, both about the city and the area (Paraíso) to which we would go. Once in Paraíso we were accompanied by a very friendly young man who told us a little about how they have improved life in that area. We only had a small inconvenience to meet the guide, I recommend wearing something to identify yourself near the museum. Opinion translated. Show original.

Very good tour and I would definitely recommend visitors doing it. The best part was seeing how happy all the children playing in their neighborhood was. I understand that El Paraiso gets a bad reputation for being unsafe, but we felt very safe. Our guide, Juan, was very kind. Depending on when you go, there could be a lot of traffic via taxi just to get to the cable car. The cable car offers a great view of Bogota and there are amazing views from El Paraiso. Would like more history.
