Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Discover Bogotá’s vibrant spirit, where history, culture, and breathtaking views come together. Accompanied by a professional guide, explore La Candelaria’s charming colonial streets and visit Plaza de Bolívar, the heart of the city’s historic and political life. Discover Colombia’s rich heritage at the Gold Museum (tickets included), home to thousands of pre-Columbian treasures, and admire the masterpieces of Fernando Botero at the Botero Museum.
To complete the tour, head up to Monserrate Hill, where we’ve included the cost of the funicular or cable car to Bogotá’s most iconic spot.
This service offers VIP tickets so you don’t have to wait in line. You can also include dinner and combine it with other activities, such as a visit to the Salt Cathedral. Or, if you’d prefer to take the city tour without visiting Monserrate, we also have that option available. Choose the option that best suits your needs.

5.00Carlos Espitia and Samuel Lopez were excellent with us. We are from Puerto Rico, and they treated us with great kindness and respect. The experience at the Salt Cathedral was incredible as Carlos was an excellent tour guide.
The visit was fantastic; I saw it as a museum.

5.00Excellent experience! Tatiana who accompanied us was perfect! Since we did not speak Spanish, she worried talking everything very slowly so that we could understand and her explanations in the locations were of great value! Super recommend!
