Explore Authentic Bogotá in the Mountains
Tour was booked at the last minute and still accepted by the tour company. The tour guide spoke both English and Spanish, so even though everyone on the tour was able to understand Spanish, the guide made sure to speak with me in English after providing the information first in Spanish. We had time to take photos near the cathedral at the top of the mountain, in addition to order food. After the tour was complete, we could explore Monserrate's tourist market which was full of vendors selling clothing, jewelry, souvenirs and plenty of restaurants to eat food. It was a great time, but be prepared to be in that altitude for hours. Might be best to take an altitude medicine or drink some of the coca tea to prevent altitude sickness if you're not from the region or live in an area with high altitude.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed review! We're glad we were able to accommodate your last-minute booking and that your guide made sure you could fully enjoy and understand the experience in English. It's great to know you also had time for photos, food, and exploring Monserrate's market after the tour. We also appreciate you sharing your experience with the altitude as a helpful tip for other travelers. Thank you for joining us!

Bogota from a Birds Eye view
Chris was fantastic! We had a bad trip into Bogota with a delayed flight, missed flight and lost luggage. So we needed to cancel and Gran Tours was great to accommodate us and reschedule for later. Chris told us where to stand in the cable car to get a great view and he knew a lot of great historical insights. As a Muslim, I had never seen a Black Mary! Great views and definitely eat at the Colombian restaurant up at the top with the views!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're glad we could help reschedule your tour after such a difficult journey into Bogotá and that you were still able to enjoy a wonderful day at Monserrate. It's great to know Chris' knowledge, helpful tips, and attention made the experience even more special. We'll be happy to share your kind words with him!

Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.
How much does Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 142 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 Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets?
+
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 Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets?
+
Around 50 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets 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 Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets?
+
Included: Monserrate tickets roundtrip; All-risk insurance; and Tours Guide. Not included: Extra purchases; and Hotel pick-up and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets?
+
Find us on the base of the mountain just next to the ticket office. Just look for the yellow umbrella! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets 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 Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Monserrate Tour in Bogotá Including Tickets wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
