This was such a diverse tour, we started with a breakfast, then caught a funicular to Montserrat, then a visit to the markets to taste fruits, a stroll through the old city then lunch. Whilst is covers a lot, it was not hectic and Jackie our guide made sure we had sufficient time at each stop

The tour is great! Nat did a great job of introducing us to Colombian culture and teaching us more about Bogota. It is a very long tour. It’s very worth it but we were spent by the end of it.
Thank you, Caitlyn! We’re so glad you enjoyed the full Bogotá experience with Nat. She loves sharing the culture, flavors, and stories of the city, and it’s great to know the tour felt meaningful for you. It is indeed a long day — Bogotá has so much to offer — but we’re happy to hear it was worth it. You’re always welcome back to explore even more with us.
This tour was a fantastic experience. Guide Luis was exceptional, answered all my concerns, has extensive cultural knowledge and is a very kind young man. Thank you for this beautiful experience.
The tour operator was about to cancel the tour because it was just me. Luckily two more persons joined on the evening before the tour. Our guide Jaquelin is superb. She knows her stuff as a guide and has a charmingly joyful way of delivering it. The tour takes to see the views over Bogota from Monserrate and is a great way to learn about Bogota, Candelaria and Colombia.
