What To Expect
Mount Monserrate
Your day will start when your driver picks you up from your hotel, to take you to your first stop: the Monserrate Sanctuary, located within the imposing Eastern Hills of the city, at an altitude of 3150MASL. Ascending to the top of the mountain on a cable car, you will reach the most famous pilgrimage point of the city, and perhaps the most incredible lookout spot in the capital. This is the best spot to grasp the historical and spatial contextualization of the city.
Barrio La Candelaria
To finalize the city tour, you will cross La Candelaria’s border to become immersed in the most impressive collection of indigenous gold artifacts at the Gold Museum. As you leave, you'll have the chance to go shopping at the handicrafts market at Parque Santander.

5.00The tour guide was outstanding and considering we had only 1 day and it was Easter weekend she ensured that we saw all the highlights of that beautiful city.

5.00We took this tour of the Zipiquira salt mine and cathedral and then had a walking tour around the old part of Bogota, Bolivar Square, and the Museo de Oro and it was all great. What I really want to rave about is the very wonderful tour guide we had--Viviana Castro. She's excellent and very knowledgeable I highly recommend that you ask if she's available to be your guide. We landed that morning and were picked up at the airport (here's what I don't understand. Why did we have to pay an extra $20 to be picked up from the airport instead of from a hotel??) and spent the next 10 hours seeing the sights with our own private guide and driver.

5.00My family was met outside the exit of Colombian customs at the Bogota airport by a very friendly Impulse driver who took us to the JW Marriott hotel. The following 2 days we were picked up by Impulse who provided a driver and tour guide that took us on the Bogota City tour, Zipaquira Salt Cathedral and Lake Guatavita tours. All tours were fantastic and included a traditional Colombian lunch. I traveled with my family for this tour and the people of Colombia were very warm and embracing! Impulse provided exceptional service at a great price! Colombia is going to be the next top hot spot for travel now that it is safe. Get there before the tourist take over.
Knowledgeable guide

5.00Excellent guide and driver. Andres was my private guide and he was very knowledgeable about everything. The Salt Cathedral was the most amazing church I’ve ever seen. Monserrat had an amazing view of the city. I just wished that it was in the evening with all the festive lights surrounding the place. Highly recommended!
A little bit of everything...

5.00I took the tour that included the City Tour of Bogota plus the Cathedral of Sal. It is one of the most complete tours because you can see basically the main attractions of Bogotá (plus the Salt Cathedral in one day). The tour is private so it was much better. Felipe is an excellent guide. Very pleasant and knowledgeable. Our driver, Maria, was also very kind. They were always on time and the car was very clean.
