Angel, our tour guide was so great! He took us to the small villages around Villa De Leyva, made a stop to the chocolate museum and took us to a bunch of different historical spots and was able to take plenty of pictures. He was so knowledgeable of the land and made us feel at home

Villa de Leyva - Amazing experience!

Published on Sep, 2023

Whether you are going solo or have a small group, I highly recommend this private tour. My guide Marcelo, was awesome! Extremely knowledgeable and upbeat, he met me at my apartment to get picked up and made additional stops to show me a little more of colombia! Once we got to Villa de Leyva we got to see the major sites and he even took me hiking to to the Christ (you'll see it when you get there) . Everyone that goes to Bogota needs to make a little time to go see this place!
