One Perfect Day in Bogotá: Private Tour of Must-See Highlights

I had the best day with Juan Carlos. We packed a lot into the day and he was an amazing guide. He shared lots of interesting stories, while also giving me space and quiet time, which is perfect for me. He was flexible with things I wanted to stop and see, and he kindly took some very nice photos for me. I would absolutely recommend a tour with him!

This solo trip was absolutely amazing day that I will never forget. My guide Sergio did an awesome job at giving history of each location and he went above and beyond as I had an accident at the beginning of my vacation and he helped me throughout the day to complete our adventure. I plan on coming back to do an Amazon excursion with him next year. You definitely want to book with him and you will definitely enjoy your private tour!!

The capital is vibrant with culture and diversity. From Monserrate to Candelaria, through museums and typical flavors, Bogotá offers history, art and modernity in every corner.

I started the day wandering the cobbled streets of La Candelaria, Bogotá’s historic center. The area is packed with beautifully preserved colonial buildings, colorful facades, and intricate street art that reflects the city’s political and social history. A few blocks away, Plaza de Bolívar is the grand, historic heart of Bogotá. Surrounded by government buildings, the majestic Cathedral, and often filled with pigeons, locals, and street performers, it’s a great spot to sit and soak in the atmosphere. Mount Monserrate, at the top, the panoramic view of Bogotá is absolutely stunning it gives you a real sense of the city’s massive scale and mountainous surroundings. There’s also a beautiful church, small gardens, and market stalls selling local snacks and souvenirs. It’s peaceful and spiritual, with the city sprawling far below. Just be prepared for the thin air — take it slow. The Gold Museum is a world-class showcase of pre-Columbian artifacts, especially from the Muisca, Tairona, and Quimbaya cultures. The detail and symbolism in the gold pieces are incredible. The museum is well-organized with English translations and interactive displays. Don't miss the Muisca raft (Balsa Muisca) and the immersive sound-and-light room at the end it’s both educational and emotionally moving. Next, I visited the Museo Botero, located right in the heart of La Candelaria. This museum is free and features dozens of works by Fernando Botero, Colombia’s most famous artist, known for his playful, voluminous style. His paintings and sculptures are both humorous and profound, offering commentary on Colombian life and society. This day was worth it and I highly recommend this tour as staff was great and reliable.

I highly recommend, I received exactly what I wanted, I appreciate all the support and organization from you

Super recommends the experience, that good assistance I have had with them, I will definitely continue using their services.

We walk through the Candelaria, with its cobblestone streets and colorful colonial houses. The guide told us anecdotes about the foundation of the city and life in colonial times. I really enjoyed seeing how modern murals coexist with ancient architecture: each wall seems to have a story to tell.

We went with my family who come from villao, they did not know the capital well but this tour allowed us to show them everything beautiful about Bogotá. G.

C. I loved the tour, it’s city is the most beautiful that I’ve seen, the tour was amazing and the history of the city is very interesting and the food (we love the “changua” hahahaha)🤩
