Driving Guide Service
As we mentioned before, Felipe does not offer tours by car. However, he has known Jhaire, a trusted colleague, for about four years.
Jhaire works with a team of professional drivers who are semi-bilingual and can provide transportation services if you need to get around the city by car or explore the countryside and surrounding areas of Bogotá.
As you may notice in many of the photos in the following galleries, Felipe is often there accompanying the travelers. However, he has noticed that some foreign visitors may not have the budget to hire both a private driver and a tour guide.
That’s why including Felipe in your plans is completely up to you. If you prefer to save some money, you can simply hire Jhaire and his team for private transportation and explore the destinations on your own.
Felipe can still join you if you would like a local guide and companion during the experience. There’s no obligation to include him — it simply depends on your preferences and budget.
