Highlights
  • Barrio La Candelaria - This charming colonial neighborhood is where Bogotá was founded. It features stunning colonial architecture blended with a bohemian vibe. The area is home to several fascinating attractions, including the Botero Museum, Casa de la Moneda (Numismatic Museum), Luis Ángel Arango Library, and the Gabriel Garcia Marquez Cultural Center.
  • Plaza de Bolivar de Bogota - This is Colombia’s main administrative hub, housing significant landmarks such as the National Capitol, Bogotá Mayor’s Office, the religious street, and the Colombian Court House. Your private tour guide will share key political insights and stories about Colombia’s development, military, and social situations.
  • Gold Museum (Museo del Oro) - This museum showcases a diverse collection of pre-Columbian artifacts from Colombia, made not only of gold but also silver, copper, emeralds, wood, and ceramics. It provides information about indigenous groups and the significance of these pieces. With a permanent exhibition of over 35,000 items, it is considered one of the largest and most valuable collections in the world. (Note: The museum is closed on Mondays, so we can substitute it with a visit to the Emerald Museum, La Quinta House (Simón Bolívar’s house in Bogotá), or extend our guided tour to cover more highlights of our itinerary. Options may vary depending on circumstances beyond our control).
  • Centro Internacional - This area is both a major financial center and a significant historic site. Here, you will see the Santa Maria Bullfighting Arena and the National Museum.

You can touch, taste, and smell some of the best coffee in the world in a local setting. (Access to this attraction may be restricted by management and its schedule).

Good tour of Bogotá - The driver and guide came to pick us up at the airport and the tour began. We started with the Monserrate hill, which was very beautiful and the explanation was very detailed. Arriving at the candelaria we saw several points. The houses that were inhabited during the time of Simón Bolívar and by the friars. We ended up in Plaza Bolivar. The explanations were very detailed and very interesting. About the houses in the center were sometimes too much information. Overall very good tour. The driver was very professional and the guide too.

He was super kind to my entire family, his knowledge helps make the information feel easy to understand and enjoy. Don Pablo is a sweetheart, also responsible and eager to help tourists.

Best tour in Bogota! Personalized to your needs. - We recently had the most incredible tour experience in Bogota with Bogotravel. From the very beginning, our experience was marked by professionalism and genuine care from Laura who assisted us with the booking through WhatsApp even though it was a last minute request from our side. A friendly and respectful driver promptly picked us up from our hotel, making us feel at ease. Our guide -Fernando- was top notch! His infectious energy and extensive knowledge of the city, made the entire experience truly unforgettable. Fernando's passion for his job and his city shone through in every aspect of the tour. Fernando is born for this. He truly made this the best tour we could have hoped for in Bogota.

Enjoyable City Tour - Bogotravel Tours is a great company to book with. The pre-booking communication with Fernando was excellent. I had the pleasure of having him as my guide for the Monserrate tour, he was very informative and amiable. I had Stefanie for the city tour. She was lovely and very knowledgable. Both of them spoke excellent English The city tour covers the main sights of the city including the Gold Museum and La Candelaria, and just provides a good overview of the city, which is great if you're short of time. I highly recommend the city tour as well as booking other tours with this company too, you will not be disappointed.

No understanding - I was unable to participate for legitimate reasons and there was no refund or any commercial gesture to reschedule the excursion for me. I simply lost more than €150.
