    Bogotá City Tour Itinerary

    Bogotá City Tour Itinerary — Your Day in Detail, Hour by Hour

    1. Begin your day relaxed: door-to-door pickup at your Bogotá hotel in a spotless private vehicle, with your dedicated bilingual guide ready to make the city yours.

      Private transportation

    2. Walk past the queue and step into the world's most important pre-Hispanic gold collection: 34,000+ pieces, the legend of El Dorado and goosebumps in the Sala de la Ofrenda.

      Closed on Mondays

    3. Wander the colorful colonial streets, hear the stories locals never tell, taste freshly-pressed coffee and feel why La Candelaria is the cultural heartbeat of the Andes.

    4. Stand face-to-face with Botero's iconic volumes — plus Picasso, Dalí, Monet and Chagall — in one of Latin America's most generous private collections. Admission free.

      Closed on Tuesdays

    5. Stand in the square that has witnessed 200 years of Colombian history, framed by the Cathedral, Capitol, Palace of Justice and Mayor's office.

    6. Ride the funicular or cable car to the city's iconic summit. Breathe the thin Andean air, walk into the 17th-century sanctuary and watch Bogotá unfold under your feet.

    7. We close the loop the same way we opened it: a comfortable, private transfer back to your hotel with the same trusted team.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Good to know

    Private vs free walking tour

    Why choose a private Bogotá tour over a free walking tour

    A free walking tour in Bogotá usually covers La Candelaria on foot in 2–3 hours with a tip-based guide and a large group. Our private Bogotá city tour adds Monserrate, the Gold Museum and the Botero Museum, includes hotel pickup, all admissions and a certified bilingual guide dedicated only to your group.
