Walking the streets of this iconic municipality of Colombia (Villa de Leyva) we will find the best anecdotes of our heroes, as well as the stories behind the best dishes of our gastronomy, our knowledge and trades, as well as the architecture, religion and everything that has influenced Villa de Leyva to be part of the heritage towns of Colombia and one of the favorite destinations for nationals and foreigners.
All this accompanied by a local guide and artist (storyteller or actor) who, in a humorous and cultural way, will bring you closer to the life of a Villaleyvano.
The tour will take you through cobblestone streets, parks, convents, monasteries, churches, cafes and many other places of interest.
Hi, I'm Majo, I was born and raised in Villa de Leyva, a place where I've been a guide for about 5 years. I have always liked meeting people and places for this reason, I have traveled and lived in foreign countries such as France and New Zealand, experiences that allowed me to learn other points of view and language. For about 10 years, together with my husband, we decided to rescue the historical memory and anecdotes of my municipality through oral narration and acting. Today we use this knowledge to bring national and foreign tourists closer to the life of a Villaleyvano.

We had a wonderful tour around Villa de Leyva with David and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, its history, and local culture, and he shared everything with genuine passion and kindness.
What really made the experience special was how thoughtful he was with my mother-in-law, who doesn’t speak English. David kindly translated for her throughout the tour, making her feel fully included and comfortable, something we truly appreciated.
The only small downside for us was the stop at a cocoa shop, which felt a bit like a tourist trap. Although the lady there was very nice and we did buy and try some products, the stop lasted much longer than necessary and became a bit boring.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we would absolutely recommend David to anyone visiting Villa de Leyva who wants an informative, friendly, and well-organised tour. I would recommend.

Merci beaucoup pour ce free tour. Bien plus qu’un free tour ! Un moment mémorable de partage, d’histoire, d’anecdote, de dégustation.
Nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer. Nous avons pu avoir la visite en français, Maria parle super bien français.
Encore merci !
