Description
Bogotá City Tour is the most comprehensive way to see the relevant sights of the city in one day. You will be guided by a knowledgeable guide who will teach you about historical and current facts of Colombia.
The first stop will be a visit through the picturesque cobbled streets of La Candelaria. You will visit the Botero Museum, which features works of the eccentric artist who has become an icon of Colombian contemporary art, Fernando Botero. You will have a stop at Chorro de Quevedo to appreciate the diverse contrasts that the historical center offers and learn more about Bogotá's history.
After the walking tour in La Candelaria, you will reach Plaza de Bolívar; The main square of the city. The square is surrounded by administrative and governmental buildings that have been fundamental to the historical processes of the country that you will know through the tour guide.
Finally, you will walk through Jimenez Avenue to visit an impressive collection of indigenous gold pieces at the Gold Museum. At the exit, you will have the chance to shop at the handicrafts market at Santander Park.
As an option, we can visit Monserrate Sanctuary, located within the imposing Eastern Hills of the city, at an altitude of 3150 meters above sea level. Ascending to the top of the mountain on a cable car, you will reach the most notorious pilgrimage point of the city and an incredible lookout spot in the capital below. This is a spot to grasp the historical and spatial context of the city.

Guide Gigio: Bogota Expert
★★★★★
Guide Gigio knows Bogota like the back of his hand and, apart from the main sights, will take you to special places where you can get a little insight into the people's lives. He has great historical knowledge and is very enthusiastic.

Breathtaking Bogota Tour!
★★★★★
Martha Jamoco and her driver gave us an amazing private tour of Monserrate, The Botero and Gold Museums, and many sites around the city of Bogota. The tour was on schedule, really informative and very friendly. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Bogota. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the best highlights of this amazing city!

Exceptional experience in Columbia!
★★★★★
We had a wonderful time on our tour in Bogota! My only regret is not being able to stay longer. From the scenic mountain tops, live music, art, food, and coffee, Bogota is truly an incredible experience. Our guide, Gigio was absolutely the best part! His enthusiasm, knowledge and love for the city truly shined and encouraged us to want to come back. I highly recommend this tour, especially using Gigio as your guide.

If you are seeing this, book now!
★★★★★
If you go with Giraldo Arango, you will have a 10/10 time. We spent two days going over Bogota and I couldn’t recommend him more. Highlight of my trip!

Museo del Oro / Monserrate / La Candelaria w/ Raúl
★★★★★
Raul did a wonderful job in not only showing but patiently explaining the history, politics, arts, culture of La Candelaria, Monserrate, Museo del Oro, etc, in the latter half of the day tour. Special appreciation for Raul’s patience to answer our numerous questions as we were filling in the few gaps from our prior knowledge!

Unforgettable Family Adventure: Exploring Colombia with Impulse Tours
★★★★★
We had a fantastic time in Colombia for 3 weeks. We have 3 kids ages 5-13 and all the activities/ trips we did were interesting for all ages. I feel we experienced a side of Colombia that would have been difficult to find on our own. Everything was very well organised and planned. The people we met along the way were nice, helpful and knowledgable (drivers/tour guides/ etc.). And all the accommodation and places we stayed were super. The Impulse team were at hand when we needed them and helpful when one of our children became ill. Thank you Felipe and team for everything - we had a once in a life time trip and will remember it forever!
Carlos Ramos | Bogotá | Sep 2023
100% recommended.
★★★★★
Our tour guide was excellent. "Gigio" was punctual, very courteous, and demonstrated a deep knowledge of his culture. He is very passionate and proud of his city, making us eager
to come back. 100% recommended.

So informative and fun!
★★★★★
Our guide Gigio was super communicative and informed. I am a little out of shape and he was so thoughtful with how he paced everything. My teens were so curious about Colombian history we all learned a lot from him and were able to really appreciate what we were experiencing both at monserrate and the gold museum. We were lucky enough to have him as a guide for the salt cathedral earlier in our trip. He was amazing and really contributed to the quality of our trip!

Private tour for my family finally in English
★★★★★
We were lucky enough to be alone with the guide Mauricio. He was the first guide who actually spoke English considering our other bookings in Colombia. There was prompt communication from Impulse the tour company. We took many photos indeed. Mauricio took great care of us, pointed out all points of interest, a vast knowledge of the local flora and fauna and navigated us both through history and affordable shops and cafes.
