    Great Bogota tour

    A fantastic tour. Jorge did a great job showing me the sites and telling me the history! He mixed in some coffee and fruit at just the right times.

    Great way to explore Bogota!

    Camilo was a great tour guide. He showed me the great parts of Bogota. Explaining everything in great detail. Being the only person on the tour got to go at a steady pace. Really enjoyed walking around and exploring Bogota.

    Bogota in a private tour experiende

    What a well planned tour. We were picked up from our hotel, by our personal tour guide and we started our private and personalized tour with Monserrate. Our guide Jorge was excellent, was very informed and answered all the questions we asked. We had a rainy day, but that did not stop us in our journey. Walked throught the streets of La Candelaria, had a fruit testing where I enjoyed a delicious batido de guanabana-the most delicious fruit!!! Also learned the art of making and drinking coffe the correct way! Although the museums were closed due to this day being a holiday, we still made way to learn all the facts of Bogota. I truly recommend this experience if you want to learn about this wonderful city and some history of the country! Thank you Jorge, for being a wonderful tour guide!

    Jorge and Dario rock!!

    I am honestly surprised this is not more expensive. Jorge and Dario were both amazing. Jorge is extremely knowledgeable, very nice, and really just a cool guy to spend the day with. He was happy to help me with my Spanish throughout the day. Being able to use his fast pass to Monserrate alone is worth the cost, there was a 2-hour wait at the bottom and another 2-hour wait at the top--we waited maybe 5 minutes each direction!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Jorge and Dario made your experience so enjoyable. It's great that you got to learn about Bogotá, practice your Spanish with Jorge, and make the most of your visit to Monserrate without the long waits. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back soon!

    La Candelaria, Monserrate and Museums Bogotá Private City Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does La Candelaria, Monserrate and Museums Bogotá Private City Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 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 La Candelaria, Monserrate and Museums Bogotá Private City Tour 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 La Candelaria, Monserrate and Museums Bogotá Private City Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,796 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Bogotá, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule La Candelaria, Monserrate and Museums Bogotá Private City Tour?

    +

    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 La Candelaria, Monserrate and Museums Bogotá Private City Tour 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 La Candelaria, Monserrate and Museums Bogotá Private City Tour?

    +

    Around 629 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 La Candelaria, Monserrate and Museums Bogotá Private City Tour 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 La Candelaria, Monserrate and Museums Bogotá Private City Tour?

    +

    Included: Entrance to Monserrate (if chosen); All-risk insurance; Gastronomic experiences; Entrance to the Gold Museum and Botero Museum (if chosen); and Hotel pick-up and drop-off. Not included: Breakfast; Lunch; and Extra purchases. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 651 listed pickup locations in and around Bogotá. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is La Candelaria, Monserrate and Museums Bogotá Private City Tour offered in?

    +

    Is La Candelaria, Monserrate and Museums Bogotá Private City Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
