Frequently Asked Questions
Good to know
On your own vs private tour
Why book a private Monserrate tour instead of going on your own
Going to Monserrate on your own means long lines at the cable car and funicular, no transport from your hotel, no context about the sanctuary and the Way of the Cross, and figuring out altitude (3,152 m) by yourself. Our private Monserrate tour includes hotel pickup, skip-the-line tickets, a certified bilingual guide and a 4-hour experience at your own pace — ideal for sunset, pilgrimage or a Bogotá layover.
