He, an architect, and she, a paleontologist and economist, gave shape to a place that would release tensions and become a favorite of locals and tourists in the magical and colonial Villa de Leyva, a perfect accomplice of cobblestone streets and clay tiles that incite a walk through antiquity and to live an eternal chocolate honeymoon, like that of its owners.

    Update offer

    The truth is that we did not visit what was advertised, it seemed extremely expensive to me, the advantage is that since it was private, we were able to make a change in the route and improve the experience, in general, I feel that it did not meet my expectations

    Response from the operator: Entiendo tu punto de vista y lamento mucho que tu experiencia no haya cumplido tus expectativas. Apreciamos tus comentarios y tomaremos en cuenta tus sugerencias para mejorar nuestros servicios en el futuro. Nos alegra saber que pudiste hacer cambios en la ruta para mejorar la experiencia.

    Cows, countryside and villa de leyva

    Cows and countryside scenery and Villa de Leyva, oh my! This is a full day tour. Expect to be gone at least thirteen hours, especially with bogota traffic. Cindy and John were so sweet. There was a miscommunication about pick up time but they kindly waited for us to stumble downstairs. Cindy, our guide was very personable and chatted with us the whole three hours out. We stopped for coffee and cheese arepas, the start of a cheesy day. The countryside is beautiful and cows and sheep are everywhere. You eventually descend to the arid dessert that surrounds villa de leyva and get a very quick intro to the city. About fifteen minutes to forty five minutes. It is a cute town but many things weren’t yet open on a weekday morning. Which also means we weren’t pushing through hoards of people. Then it was onward to the 16th century monastery without resident cats who are just looking for love. Cool,old building and stories that remind me of Spanish missions in California. Almost everything is in Spanish but the guide will give you the gist and you can ask questions. After that whisked to one of three Colombian vineyards. You get a tour in Spanish that your guide translates and then tastings. Then you are whisked to the artisan town for a Colombian lunch…..ajiasco… and maybe some quick shopping. Then about a four hour or longer drive back to bogota when if you are like my husband, you can nap! It’s a lot in one day but for people wanting to check a lot off list and not stay overnight in villa de leyva, it is a good option.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your appreciations, it is an activity worth doing because it is a very beautiful tour.

    Beautiful, charming, fun and insightful

    Wonderful and tiring all day trip to Raquila, Villa de Leyva and the Aim Karim winery. Our guide, Cindy, and driver, Pedro, were professional, courteous and enjoyable for the duration. The sights are gorgeous, the wine great and the food excellent. Be prepared for a lot of time in the car as it takes 3-4 hours to get to these places. But after a week in Bogota it is refreshing to see some country. Raquila itself is bright and cheerful with good prices on artesenial crafts. Villa de Leyva is a nice colonial town and the winery is very pleasant. Sit back and enjoy your day.

    Response from the operator: We are very pleased that you had a great day and enjoyed these two very special cities.

    Discover Villa de Leyva, a colonial and historic town and enjoy the vineyard.: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.

    How much does Discover Villa de Leyva, a colonial and historic town and enjoy the vineyard. cost?

    +

    Prices start at $305 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 Discover Villa de Leyva, a colonial and historic town and enjoy the vineyard. take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Discover Villa de Leyva, a colonial and historic town and enjoy the vineyard. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6 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 Discover Villa de Leyva, a colonial and historic town and enjoy the vineyard.?

    +

    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 Discover Villa de Leyva, a colonial and historic town and enjoy the vineyard. suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Discover Villa de Leyva, a colonial and historic town and enjoy the vineyard.?

    +

    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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Discover Villa de Leyva, a colonial and historic town and enjoy the vineyard. 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.
