Colombia in a glimpse.

Vincent_V, Apr 2024

We had a good glimpse of Colombian culture in a short span of time. Our tour guide Gloria was very knowledgeable about her country’s history and culture. We can feel her passion and love for country with how she described every tourist destination. The trip up Monserrat is definitely a must. My partner enjoyed the Oro museo as well. Kudos!

Great way to learn about Bogotá’s history

Paul_H, Mar 2024

This tour was booked for my wife while I attended a conference. She was picked up right on time. The driver was very kind and efficient. The guide, Katerine, couldn’t have been better. She was personable, knowledgeable and flexible. My wife had been on many parts of the tour and Katerine made adjustments accordingly. Out of the three tours taken, this was her favorite. She loved the Museo del Oro.

Excellent, Low Key Introduction to Bogotá

Rachel_S, Mar 2024

We loved our experience! With limited time in Bogotá, and knowing we were going to arrive here exhausted, we opted for this private tour for three main reasons. 1) a private vehicle to get from place to place where we can our also store our backpacks. 2) the opportunity to see some of the most popular places and get stories and history from a local guide. 3) private tour means that we can go to the things we want and change according to our needs Anjel was our guide and she was absolutely fabulous to spend the day with. Super laid back and comfortable, she was an ideal fit for our family. We toured on a Sunday, and I was very happy we chose to add on the Fast Pass-it was worth every cent

Bogota In A Day

Jeff_D, Mar 2024

Our guide Cathryn (Cate) was excellent. She was knowledgeable, flexible and very kind. She encouraged us to purchase Fast Passes for the cable car ride for $25 US each, which probably saved us 2.5-3 hours of waiting in lines…great advice and well worth it! The driver was also very accommodating and helpful. Thank you!

I am not a museum guy,...

Mark_T, Mar 2024

I am not a museum guy, but the guide took us to two and really made history come alive, plus climbing Monserrate. Great tour. Lunch was unbelievable.

The BEST tour of Bogota 👌!!

Ashley_K, Feb 2024

We went on a 6hr tour to see the Best of Bogota, starting with a visit up to Monserrate (a must is getting the Fast Pass to skip the queues - it cut the time down from a 1hr wait to a 5min wait 👍), then we visited the Gold Museum (Museo Del Oro), Old Town of Bogota and Boliver Square in downtown. Our guide Fabio was SUPERB 👌 He was so friendly and hospitable and his knowledge of everything Columbia was fantastic!! Our driver was also great and whenever we had finished walking and touring in one place, he was right there to pick us up and take us to the next stop for the day. Pick up and Drop off at our hotel was super convenient. We loved this tour!!

Bogota

JorgeIvan_D, Feb 2024

Great tour !!! Driver and tour guide very informant and professional definitely worth the money left with more knowledge about Colombia

Fantastic!

Shanelle_M, Jan 2024

Such a wonderful tour, John was a fantastic guide. One day is not enough in this city…so much to see and do!

Perfect day!

Bethany_M, Jan 2024

What an amazing layover tour! We were able to get familiar with Bogota through seeing the sights and hearing personal stories. The tour logistics were clearly communicated and provided a smooth trip. Our needs and interests were listened to carefully by our guide, Fabio, and we felt like the tour covered exactly what we wanted. We had a good balance of walking and riding. Highly recommend this tour!

The best possible experience.

Michael_B, Nov 2023

This was my second time on this tour. This time with different friends one of whom lives in Bogotá. Even she was amazed about what she learned about her own city. Katarina (our guide) was fantastic (as was the driver) and happy doing double the work speaking in Spanish for my friends and English for me. The tour was tweaked to take account of personal interests; so even though I had done it before I saw some different things. I think this could almost be a routine part of any trip to Bogotá. Not the cheapest, but undoubtedly worth it! Thank you!!

Absolutely incredible! You must do this tour!

Brand_K, Nov 2023

This was an absolutely incredible tour in Bogota! I have been to Columbia many times, but this is the first time I ever decided to sign up for a tour and I was thrilled the entire time! Fabio was our guide, and he was excellent! He was extremely knowledgeable and personable the entire time. From seeing sites to enjoying an incredible lunch and modifying the tour to meet our needs - it was all perfect. In addition to seeing all the sites, the company also helped with additional tours and travel arrangements for us while we were in town. This was an incredible experience!

Perfect tour for my short stay in Bogota

cedesfix, Nov 2023

Ramiro was a great guide, I learned so much about Bogota in my private tour! I needed a shorter tour and the private walking tour of Old Town and the 2 museums (Gold & Botero) were INCREDIBLE! 🤩🤩🤩

A Great Intro to Bogota

Rowen_M, Oct 2023

The whole trip went seamless. Our guide Katerine rearranged the schedule to accommodate the unpredictable weather, ensuring we didn’t miss the outdoors stuff. The sights, local flavor, the history, the colors, the people were all vibrant.

Perfect way to get to know Bogota

Julie_S, Oct 2023

Gustavo was absolutely incredible and so knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history and culture of Bogota.

Excellent service in every way

Michael_B, Oct 2023

The best thing was that our guide (Carlos) was so helpful; knowledgeable and flexible. Not the cheapest your; but definitely the best thing I could have hoped for. And the driver was so pleasant as well! Thanks!!

Amazing Experience!!

MaribethR, Sep 2023

I had such an amazing experience with this tour. Thank you Carlos for letting me see your city:) Let me tell you, me and my mom were picked up from our hotel. The moment we got into the car, there were complementary gift bags with water and even a cute note welcoming us to Colombia. We did the ultimate pass with fast track and lunch, it was so worth it! Monserrate was beautiful and my favorite part overall of the tour. These places are a must go!

Bogota Visit!

John_L, Aug 2023

I had two days on layover to spend in Bogota, so I decided to take a private Bogota city tour to learn about the city. My guide, Carlos, was incredible. Very knowledgeable of the city and conducted the tour at the perfect pace. Always asked what I wanted to see and was willing to adjust the tour to accommodate my interests. Great price for a 6-hour tour! Highly recommended - be sure to ask for Carlos.

Perfect day tour!

Scott_G, Jul 2023

Tour guide, Ludwin, was excellent! Very knowledgeable and personable. We hit all the highlights as advertised and a couple that weren’t. This was the perfect quick tour of Bogota. Tour company was also excellent and highly recommended!

Felt Ripped Off

Sung_A, Jul 2023

It seemed like our tour guide was not interested in guiding us on the tour. He looked very tired, coughing a lot, and had a runny nose. He was more engaging with other tour guides and vendors he knew than with us. Many times, we had to wait for him to finish his conversation with those people he knew. He seemed very knowledgeable about many things, but we felt like we were lectured based on his own interests. For example, while walking through the stations of the cross on the way to Monserrate after getting off the cable car, he said nothing about the stations but birds, trees, and flowers. So, we stopped by the stations, took pics, and read the description of each station while he already took off to the other trees/flowers he wanted to tell us about. We often asked other tourists to take pics of us since our tour guide took off by himself to another place. Several times, we showed no interest in hearing about what he talked about but he went on with whatever he had to say regardless. We felt like he needed some rest to gather up himself as a professional tour guide. In addition, the car we were in for our private tour smelled so bad with cigarette stinks. I got a headache right away when I got in the car because of the stinky cigarette smell. Throughout the tour, I had to leave the car window on my side down so I could breathe. I think both the driver and the tour guide were nice people, but we felt that they needed to shape up to be worthy of $ we spent on this tour. We felt ripped off.

Cynthia_J, Jun 2023

We loved our private day tour of Bogotá. Marta did an excellent job showing us around and providing very interesting information about Bogotá's history, architecture, and flora. It was a great day and we look forward to returning and trying another tour operated by Green Trails.
