Loved it!
It was an amazing experience. Knowing history from a mystical, legend perspective was much more learning and much, more fun than the traditional way. Although some places were closed for being a Sunday day, that at no time detracted from the merit or interest of the whole tour. The places that the tour includes are very interesting, pantheons, museums, buildings with legends. We started promptly at 9:30 am as agreed and finished at 5:30 pm. It's a very long journey, you walk a lot but you don't feel it because of everything you hear. Caesar, the driver, very punctual, friendly and patient. Ana, is an excellent guide, she knows a lot about many topics and answers all your questions. It is super fun and interesting to tour with her. Both very friendly people. For personal reasons I had to make a small adjustment at the end of the tour and both Cesar and Ana had no problem adjusting the tour to my request. If you want to know Bogota in a different way, this tour is 200% recommended.

HIDDEN CITY TOUR IS AWESOME
We had the most amazing guided tour with Ana! She was super personable and helpful and very knowledgeable about the history of Bogota and its hidden sites :) SOme of our favorite locations were el Castillo Marroquin, el Monasterio del Sol y Cementerio Central. We booked our tour on a Monday in early November and it was one of the rainiest days ever, literally storming hard and regardless of the wet day, we were able to see every site and learn its history. We enjoyed a fabulous meal at La Bruja and learning about its history. We almost didn't make it to the cemetary and by miracle we arrived right before the doors closed. The staff went far and beyond to accommodate our group and so we could visit the mausoleum and see my family's grave. It was a very special occassion. Thank you Ana!!! I look forward to taking another tour with you during my next visit to Bogota!

Off the beaten path
This tour was truly a unique experience, taking us off the beaten path and into the heart of the local culture. The guide's expertise was evident as she shared fascinating insights and stories, making the history and folklore of the area come alive. The tour was well-organized and the service was excellent, making it easy for us to immerse ourselves in the experience. It was a wonderful way to explore the region and we left with a deeper understanding and appreciation of its rich heritage.

Starting this tour we had a driver and a tour guide, about 15 minutes in our drivers car started having mechanical problems, he pulled aside there we were 1 hour and 1/2 while he deal with this issue. At the Cemetery Central was way two long 2 hours under the sun was just too much, never went to Museo de Arte Miguel Urrutia.

Bogotá City Tour: Hidden City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.
How much does Bogotá City Tour: Hidden City cost?
+
Prices start at $161 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bogotá usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bogotá City Tour: Hidden City take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bogotá is not rushed.
Is Bogotá City Tour: Hidden City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bogotá, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bogotá City Tour: Hidden City?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bogotá City Tour: Hidden City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bogotá City Tour: Hidden City?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bogotá can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bogotá and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bogotá City Tour: Hidden City start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bogotá within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bogotá?
+
On Outty we rank every Bogotá experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Free Graffiti Walking Tour Every Day in Bogota, Bogota Zipaquira Salt Cathedral Private Tour + Lunch, Private City Tour Bogota + Monserrate, Gold, Botero and Candelaria.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bogotá?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bogotá?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bogotá City Tour: Hidden City?
+
Included: Private transportation; Tickets; Insurance policy; Snacks; and Guide - Live translation. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Bogotá City Tour: Hidden City include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 638 listed pickup locations in and around Bogotá. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Bogotá City Tour: Hidden City offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bogotá City Tour: Hidden City?
+
