Good tour but overpriced
I think this tour is overpriced for what you get. It felt a bit rushed walking through city at end. Didn’t have a lot of time to stop for lunch.
Response from the operator: Hi Shivani, I'm sorry you didn't feel you got your money's worth in the tour, but you had a private tour for your family, which included a professional guide and a private van to transport just your group. You had VIP tickets for Monserrate included to avoid at least 2 hours standing in line and this tickets cost 4 times what a regular ticket costs. When you mentioned you wanted to stop for snacks at Monserrate the guide made a break so you guys could eat, and later you never mentioned you wanted to stop for lunch, if you had asked for it you would have been given the time for it. I just want for you to realize that you had a professional guide and private transport in a van for 6 hours just for your group, and skip the line access, these are expensive services as professional guides and transport vans are expensive, as well as the skip the line access to Monserrate.The tour was 5 hours long but you had a 6 hours tour, I honestly don't understand why you felt rushed if you had an extra hour of tour.

Knowledgeable and professional tour guide
I was pleasantly surprised that I was the only person on this tour (I have some health issues and I was worried that I might slow down others on the tour)! Anyway, Natalia Cardenas was a wonderful tour guide - she was very knowledgeable, professional and personable! I really enjoyed the tour and it was well worth the price I paid for it. Highly recommended!!!

Excellent guide. Fluent English. Very knowledgeable.
Diego was a fantastic guide, and I really enjoyed my few hours with him. His English is fluent and he is knowledgeable about all matters Colombian: art; history; politics; architecture; wildlife etc. I cannot recommend Diego enough, and on my next trip to Bogotá will definitely look him up for another tour.

La Candelaria, Mount Monserrate and Museo del Oro in One Day in Bogota: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.
How much does La Candelaria, Mount Monserrate and Museo del Oro in One Day in Bogota cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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, Mount Monserrate and Museo del Oro in One Day in Bogota 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, Mount Monserrate and Museo del Oro in One Day in Bogota worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Bogotá, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule La Candelaria, Mount Monserrate and Museo del Oro in One Day in Bogota?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is La Candelaria, Mount Monserrate and Museo del Oro in One Day in Bogota 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, Mount Monserrate and Museo del Oro in One Day in Bogota?
+
Around 14 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, Mount Monserrate and Museo del Oro in One Day in Bogota 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.
