1.La Candelaria Bogotá Private City Tour 3H with Transportation

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 164 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $53Our pick

Review of Bogotá’s La Candelaria private walking tour, with local tastings, historic sights, hotel transport, value advice, and practical tips.

“I had a brief layover in Bogotá and wanted to experience the city a little bit within this limited amount of time. During this private 3h tour my friendly guide ANDRÉS showed me some of the city's highlights including even entrance to some museums, among them the Museo del Oro. Further, some places of interest were visited, including of course the Plaza de Bolivar. Towards the end, we walked through La Candelaria and its street art and enjoyed some colombian coffee. The only highlight that simply does not fit in a 3h itinerary is a visit of Cerro Montserrate. So thanks for the great insight of Bogotá and a brief…”

Paddle La Boquilla’s mangrove tunnels with local fishermen, spot birds, learn Afro-Colombian traditions, and enjoy hotel transfers from Cartagena.

“I really enjoyed the beautiful canoe tour through the mangroves. You'll see a lot of fish and wildlife. The booking is per canoe so I ended up getting a private tour since I booked by myself. My tour guide was great and explained a lot about the ecosystem. I recommend it if you're in Cartagena and want to see a different side of the city, but keep this in mind if booking through Get Your Guide: I selected to have my tour in English, but my tour guide didn't really speak English. The tour was in Spanish with a few English terms, so if you understand some Spanish you may…”

“Was great to be guided around the city. Juan did a nice job for our private tour of 5 of us. Juan gave us history and context and took us to an assortment of places from a city park, to see ancient posters being made, and where we had samples of chocolate and sugar cane confections. There was a bakery and we ended at a local coffee shop with first rate Colombian coffee. Maybe the most interesting was the building that shows the history of the rebellions in the country and who was hurt and Juan explained the impact on the population. It was nice to walk around the old…”
