I have loved telling stories since I was a child, because sharing my fascination with stories and adventure is a pillar of my life. Storytelling led me to study journalism. During my studies I got to know the tourism industry and since 2017 I have been able to live the beautiful experience of being a tour guide. Sharing my little piece of the world with those who are interested in my beautiful country made me want to learn more about history, culture, politics and curiosities. Together with my friend María Paula, a sociologist, we have made this beautiful project that shows us the importance of memory, reconciliation and peace.

¡La profesora de historia que me hubiese gustado tener en mi país! Este tour es un must do si vas a Bogotá,la dedicación, pasión,entrega y paciencia con la que Paula nos explicó fue impresionante. Poder entender algunas cosas de Colombia y su historia fue una experiencia tan única. Paula en todo momento estaba dispuesta a responder nuestras dudas, y con las gráficas que llevó y utilizó como recurso, pudimos vivencial la historia de Colombia. Caminamos cerca del museo de oro, y fueron explicadas muchas situaciones de Colombia.La forma en que nos explicó la historia al igual que fuimos al museo de la memoria, nos tocó el corazón y pienso que todos deberían hacer este tour si van a Bogotá. Ojalá que muchas personas puedan hacer este tour,para conocer más sobre este hermoso país, Colombia¡GRACIAS Paula! Quedamos encantadas y aprendimos demasiado¡Tienen un bello país!

Un tour imprescindible para los que vienen a visitar la ciudad pero también para los lugareños. Tan interesante que gente local se paró a escuchar. La guía presentó todo de una manera muy interesante y captivante. Para mí el mejor tour de GuruWalks hasta este momento.

Colombia es tan mágica como compleja. En Europa nunca hemos entendido todas las vertientes del conflicto armado Colombiano y hoy Paula ha disipado todas mis dudas. Chévere !!!!
