Great insights into Bogota Culture - I went on a tour with Milena and really enjoyed it! She was very knowledgeable about Bogota and offered great recommendations along with insights on the city's culture. I also appreciated that she was very flexible and willing to make adjustments to her tour based on the group that she took.
