★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,567 reviews · 5 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $60Our pick

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...”
