Review of Bogotá’s coffee farm and Tequendama Falls tour, with practical advice on scenery, guides, value, traffic, and what to expect.
“The tour was well organized and both the driver and tour guide on site were knowledgeable and helpful. It was a very pleasant experience. However, I later discovered I was overcharged (roughly double) for lunch by restaurant personnel after comparing my bill to others in the group. So, be careful when stopping for lunch on a tour by confirming that your final bill matches the prices listed in the menu. There is a tendency to overcharge those from certain countries based on a belief that they can easily afford it.”
