Juan Carlos is an excellent guide, detailing the histories, architecturual details, and informational tidbits of the two neighborhoods mixed in with current dynamics. His recommendations for places to eat and drink are also spot on.

El mejor tour que he hecho gracias a nuestro guía Jorge! El tour ha sido muy ameno y además hemos podido probar dulces y una bebida típica Colombiana. Jorge ha estado muy pendiente de nosotros, ha respondido a todas nuestras preguntas y nos ha dado muchas recomendaciones.
