Why Explore & Discover?

E&D is a company made by tour guides to create the best travel experiences that fit each of our clients. Our value promise is based on our experience travelling around Colombia and conducting tours. That gives us an advantage as we have first-hand knowledge on how to achieve unique experiences that go beyond traditional holidays to become unforgettable experiences.

Guides and Allies

The "front line" of tourism has always been the guides. We are the ones who mediate between the traveler and the destination, this has allowed us to develop the skills to recognize the type of experiences that suit each specific type of visitor and connect them with places and people that will provide them with the experience that best suits their preferences.

We work with a network of guides and partners throughout Bogotá and Colombia, people who are passionate about their work and can offer authentic and unforgettable experiences. We try to reduce the number of intermediaries to guarantee first hand experiences at the best price.

Sustainable Tourism

We are convinced that tourism is one of the main drivers of development and that is why we want it to be sustainable in the long term. Protecting our heritage, environment and communities is essential for us to enjoy our country today and in the future. That's why we are committed to the experiences we design, maximizing our positive impacts and minimizing negative ones.

Customer Focus and Quality

We want our clients to have unique and unforgettable experiences so listening to them and maintaining open communication is essential. In the development of the tours, our guides are always aware of your interests to tailor the experience to your needs.

We are committed to the quality of the services we provide and for this reason we are constantly auditing our services, guides and partners. That's why we always invite our clients to fill out a satisfaction form at the end of the services provided in order to know in detail our performance and contribute to our continuous improvement processes.

Explore and Discover

We believe that one of the main characteristics that makes us human is our curious spirit and our need to know. This spirit leads us to explore our environment with the aim of gaining experiences and knowledge, in order to discover new ways of living that improve our conditions and those of others. At E&D we want to replicate these sensations through tourism, exploring a Colombia that is full of wonders yet to be discovered such as its people, its cities, its towns and its natural environments. All so that at the end our clients feel that their trip went beyond a holiday to become a life experience.

He tenido varias experiencias de turismo en Bogotá con Explore and Discover y la verdad todas han sido inmejorables. Los guías son muy profesionales y tienen un gran carisma para mostrar lo mejor de nuestra ciudad, no solamente a extranjeros si no a los propios bogotanos. Las experiencias logran que la gente valore nuestra ciudad y que quiera volver.
Santiago es un gran ser humano, sensible frente a las necesidades del cliente y siempre dispuesto a realizar todo lo que esté a su alcance para que la experiencia sea inolvidable.

Fun and insightful! The best way to get to know Bogota through true local knowledge. My trip wouldn’t have been the same without it.
Santiago’s guided tour was invaluable and helped us learn about Bogotá and Colombia’s history in a pleasant, fun, and friendly way. We visited Montserrate, the Candelaria neighbourhood, the Museo del Oro and Museo Botero.
They were accommodating and flexible with our schedule and super warm and helpful.
Santiago was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions, always sprinkling fun anecdotes and facts about Bogota and Colombia’s history in every corner.

Depuis longtemps, voyageuse dans l’âme, je rêvais de découvrir le continent Sud - Américain. La Colombie a été le premier pays de mon périple et m’a profondément marquée.
Santiago a fait preuve d’une gentillesse et d’une patience incroyables : il m’a aidée à organiser un voyage loin des sentiers battus, en adéquation avec mes aspirations de voyageuse solitaire et j’ajoute en toute sécurité.
La Colombie m’a époustouflée par ses richesses : accueil chaleureux des habitants , diversité géographique et culturelle.
Merci à toi Santiago, qui m’ a accompagnée à deux reprises : jamais deux sans trois, je suis sûre de revenir te voir un jour.

El tour superó las expectativas de las 6 personas que lo tomamos. Santiago respondió todas nuestras preguntas además de darnos datos útiles e interesantes. El tiempo en cada lugar es perfecto y explican lo más importante de cada cosa sin que llegue a ser aburrido! Además Santiago es súper empatizo y abierto y crea un muy buen ambiente en el tour. Súper recomendado pedir el tour con su empresa!

I have traveled many times to Bogotá over the past 6 years. I take small tour groups to Colombia, so I often sign up for a variety of tours with several different companies and guides. My favorite, of the many guides I've employed, is definitely Santiago. His English is excellent, his knowledge of Colombian and world history is amazing, he is considerate of the abilities and desires of his clients and he is always very professional.
I highly recommend his services
