Review of Bogotá’s private tour covering Monserrate, La Candelaria, Gold and Botero museums, local tastings, history, transport, and value.

“We took this tour on Christmas Day, which meant some modifications were necessary since many museums and sites were closed. That said, José was absolutely amazing and truly made the experience worthwhile. He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and engaging, and he did a wonderful job adapting the tour while still providing rich historical and cultural context. The visit to Monserrate was both educational and interesting, and José shared meaningful insights that made it more than just a scenic stop. We also really enjoyed exploring La Candelaria, learning about its history and significance as we walked through the neighborhood. Ending the Monserrate visit with hot chocolate was a lovely touch...”

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…”
