View Profile

BnB Colombia Tours was created to share Colombia's amazing country with the world. Our founder (Bruce McLean) first fell in love with Colombia (and a girl from the Coffee Zone) back in 2009 while visiting his sister in Bogotá. Spending 3 short months traveling through this country, and with limited Spanish, he found it difficult to find English-speaking guides, and so the first thoughts of BnB Colombia Tours were born. Fast forward to the present day, and BnB Colombia Tours is now providing private and group tours in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Dutch throughout Colombia. With BnB Colombia Tours you can explore almost every destination in Colombia knowing that you’ll be in safe hands with local bilingual guides, reliable transport, and destination experts helping you through every step of your experience. From the very first moment you make contact, and begin the planning of your journey until you’re safely back home, the multi-cultural, international team will be available for every second of your Colombian journey.
