Private Bogotá Tour: Candelaria, Gold Museum, Optional Monserrate

John was a wonderful guide. He gave is a first hand experience of Bogota and was so accommodating. He extended the tour so we could enjoy a traditional Ajiaco lunch!

Our guide was very knowledgeable, well mannered and educated. Also very considerate and respectful. Recommend him highly

Great experience, Carolina our tour guide was excelent and also Andres our driver was amazing!!!! I would recommend it

Martha Jamoco and her driver gave us an amazing private tour of Monserrate, The Botero and Gold Museums, and many sites around the city of Bogota. The tour was on schedule, really informative and very friendly. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Bogota. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the best highlights of this amazing city!

If you go with Giraldo Arango, you will have a 10/10 time. We spent two days going over Bogota and I couldn’t recommend him more. Highlight of my trip!

Nice introduction to Bogota. Very knowledgeable tour guide and good driver. Marta was very personable and Andreas, the driver, was very skillful. I think this is a perfect tour when you have limited time in Bogota - or even just an introduction to get you comfortable with the city and its neighborhoods, culture and food.

Raul did a wonderful job in not only showing but patiently explaining the history, politics, arts, culture of La Candelaria, Monserrate, Museo del Oro, etc, in the latter half of the day tour. Special appreciation for Raul’s patience to answer our numerous questions as we were filling in the few gaps from our prior knowledge!

Our tour guide was excellent. "Gigio" was punctual, very courteous, and demonstrated a deep knowledge of his culture. He is very passionate and proud of his city, making us eager to come back. 100% recommended.

Our guide Gigio was super communicative and informed. I am a little out of shape and he was so thoughtful with how he paced everything. My teens were so curious about Colombian history we all learned a lot from him and were able to really appreciate what we were experiencing both at monserrate and the gold museum. We were lucky enough to have him as a guide for the salt cathedral earlier in our trip. He was amazing and really contributed to the quality of our trip!

My colleague and I had a great time! Our guide made such excellent use of the time and he was very knowledgeable. We recommend this tour, well worth the money!

We were lucky enough to be alone with the guide Mauricio. He was the first guide who actually spoke English considering our other bookings in Colombia. There was prompt communication from Impulse the tour company. We took many photos indeed. Mauricio took great care of us, pointed out all points of interest, a vast knowledge of the local flora and fauna and navigated us both through history and affordable shops and cafes.

Our guide was awesome. My adult daughter and I both felt that he gave us much more than expected. A fun, enlightening day.

At the Museum of Gold, we were pleased with the detailed explanations. We were also lucky enough to see the dance festival.

I was picked up by Emilio (the guide) and Carolina (the driver) at my hotel. They were punctual and very friendly. Emilio speaks excellent English and is very knowledgeable in explaining about the places that we visited. He brought me to the important spots in Colombia, and helped to be my translator and cameraman 😊 We even tried Colombian Coffee and went souvenir-shopping before sending me back to the hotel. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe and welcomed. I highly recommend Emilio and Carolina!

If we could give this 6 stars, we would. An EXCELLENT tour. At first we were a bit worried because it seems like a lot of things to do in a short amount of time, however I can say that we did not feel rushed at all and was able to see and learn so much! Our tour started promptly on time with a pick-up from our hotel with an English speaking tour-guide, Daniel R. Daniel was absolutely FANTASTIC- he was so knowledgeable, insightful, respectful and had a good cadence of giving us enough information but also allowing us to ask a million questions and take our time through the various places he showed us. To be honest, all the places were absolutely worth seeing but we would not have enjoyed them half as much without Daniel's instruction and offering fun and important historical facts. The tour was a mix of walking and riding in a car so we had some good breaks too. This tour provides everything you need in order to feel like you've seen and understand Bogota as well as Colombia's history- if you only do one tour when you visit, do this tour! And ask for Daniel as your guide!!

Jhovanny Was a amazing tour guide so much knowledge and very nice. Would recommend this tour and tour guide.

The tour was amazing. My partner and I don't speak any Spanish, so finding a tour option with an English speaking guide was very important for us. We had Naty as our guide and she was great! She picked us up from the hotel, showed us around Monserrate, and then took us to Bolivar Square and La Candelaria. The tour included and fruit and coffee tasting. Naty provided us with lots of interesting facts about the city and sites, and even helped us translate and haggle with some market vendors. We had such a good time, that we booked the Salt Cathedral tour two days later and requested Naty as our guide. That tour was also a great and very unique experience. We really liked how this tour company picked us and dropped us off at our hotel, so that we didn't have to struggle with arranging transportation while not being able to speak the language.

We also booked the Tranquila Beach Island tour in Cartagena with Grand Colombia tours. That tour was great as well. It included snorkeling, an aquarium visit, and time on the island beach. My one recommendation is to bring water for all of these tours, as they are very eventful and active.
