Tour description

Welcome to Colombia and Bogotá, the capital city with the most resounding memories of our political and conflict history!

We are the largest group of expert local Free Tours guides in Colombia with 12 original tours created by ourselves and also the most awarded in the country! 7 international recognitions, 5 TripAdvisor Travelers Choice and Top 3 in Bogotá, Cartagena, Medellín and Cali.

We are authentic guides connecting Colombia since 2013, 10 years sharing passion in every step!

Colombia , a country known for the joy and kindness of its people, has been affected by its bad reputation due to various negative situations.

Today, this has changed a lot, and during this shared Tour you will understand the causes, development and Colombian conflicts that have shaped our history to the present. Some of the topics you will learn about are:

- Independence process
- Bogotazo and the time of violence
- The military dictatorship
- Creation of the guerrillas: FARC, ELN, M - 19
- Peace process
- Current political situation

Join us for a real, interactive experience through some notable places and scars from the past. Learn about the development of the Colombian conflict in Bogotá that changed our history, its links with the drug cartels and the "Patrón" behind this and the violence it imposed on the country.

At the end of this experience, you will have a more complete understanding of our political history, the war, its key actors, the fight against national and international drug trafficking, among others.

Join us on a ride through old and new times!
