A private guide can be very nice for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/traveling-colombia-as-an-introvert-or-hsp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>introverts traveling<\/strong><\/a>, you get personal attention, you can ask all your questions, and you get a tour tailored to your wishes. <strong>Additionally, Withlocals focuses on sustainability and conscious travel. <\/strong>These are their key points: <\/p>\n<h3>1. Travel sustainably in Colombia<\/h3>\n<p>At <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/partner.withlocals.com\/c?c=37073&amp;m=12&amp;a=244207&amp;r=&amp;u=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Withlocals<\/a><\/strong>, <strong>sustainable tourism is central, with the aim of reducing the impact of tourism on climate change<\/strong>. If you book a private guide with Withlocals, you contribute to this.<\/p>\n<p>They mainly offer walking and cycling tours and increasingly a vegan food tour at more locations. The latter is not yet available in Colombia, but if you mention it to your host, they can tell you where to find good vegan or vegetarian food. Or read here where you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/as-a-vegetarian-or-vegan-in-colombia-tips-great-restaurants-in-bogota\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>vegetarian or vegan food in Bogot\u00e1<\/strong><\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, <strong>they teach the hosts how to reduce their ecological footprint<\/strong>, and thereby also yours as a traveler.

The organization is also <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcorporation.net\/en-us\/certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B Corp certified<\/a>.<\/strong> This means the company focuses on impact beyond profit.

Support the local economy in Colombia<\/h3>\n<p>By booking a local private guide with Withlocals, you help improve the livelihood of your local guide and support the local economy. Your local guide earns a fair income, and you get a local insight into the city. <\/p>\n<p>The locals are trained and taught new skills, and they learn how to grow their business. The private guides largely come up with their own tours, which they develop together with Withlocals. And also fun: during the tour, your local guide takes you to other small local businesses, which are also supported.  <\/p>\n<h3>3. Travel consciously<\/h3>\n<p>Traveling should enrich everyone&#8217;s life, both the local and the traveler. This is only possible if the local culture is respected and understood. And by traveling consciously. Withlocals is therefore focused on minimizing the disruption of local life, culture, and the environment by tourism.   <\/p>\n<p>By booking a local guide, you get a culturally authentic experience and learn more about the history, culture, local cuisine, and environment. And importantly: you help prevent mass tourism. <\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-35003 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Prive-gids-boeken-in-Medellin-Colombia.jpg' data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Prive-gids-boeken-in-Medellin-Colombia.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Book Private Guide in Medell\u00edn Colombia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Prive-gids-boeken-in-Medellin-Colombia.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Prive-gids-boeken-in-Medellin-Colombia-744x496.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Prive-gids-boeken-in-Medellin-Colombia-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Prive-gids-boeken-in-Medellin-Colombia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Prive-gids-boeken-in-Medellin-Colombia-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Prive-gids-boeken-in-Medellin-Colombia-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Prive-gids-boeken-in-Medellin-Colombia-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>How does Withlocals work?<\/h2>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> At Withlocals, you can choose per tour or per guide. <strong>Click here for tours and local guides in:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/partner.withlocals.com\/c?c=37073&amp;m=12&amp;a=244207&amp;r=&amp;u=%2Fnl%2Fs%2Fcolombia%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Colombia<\/strong><\/a> in general<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/partner.withlocals.com\/c?c=37073&amp;m=12&amp;a=244207&amp;r=&amp;u=%2Fnl%2Fs%2Fcolombia%2Fbogot%25C3%25A1%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Bogot\u00e1<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/partner.withlocals.com\/c?c=37073&amp;m=12&amp;a=244207&amp;r=&amp;u=%2Fnl%2Fs%2Fcolombia%2Fmedellin%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Medell\u00edn<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/partner.withlocals.com\/c?c=37073&amp;m=12&amp;a=244207&amp;r=&amp;u=%2Fnl%2Fs%2Fcolombia%2Fcartagena%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Cartagena<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Per city, you see various tours, and if you scroll down, the local guides.
