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.

Ending the Monserrate visit with hot chocolate was a lovely touch...”
