Awesome food tour with Nat

Excellent way to orient yourself to La Candelaria in Bogota and try a variety of Colombian dishes. I’ve got a healthy appetite and I promise you that you will not need dinner. Natalia (Nat) was awesome-knowledgeable, personable, and proud of her culture and city. Really good pacing and amazing variety in the choices of food, also! Highly recommend!

A Must Do To Better Appreciate Bogotá

This was a perfect way to start our stay in Bogotá! As many reviews mentioned, Andres is a wonderful guide, keeping us well cared for & energized. When I was booking I had a couple of questions that weren’t answered in other reviews so I’m including our personal answers here for the next person. Namely: is the walk too strenuous if you’re concerned about adapting to the altitude? & is the day after you land too soon to do this? We had an altitude change of nearly 8000 ft the afternoon before the tour and didn’t struggle with it at all. It’s a relatively easy walk with the minimal amount of slopes and stairs nicely spaced out. The pace is very casual. If you’re also concerned about strenuous activity the day after you land, it may not be an issue as it wasn’t for us. The tour itself was so fun! It’s a whole day activity. We loved our small group, learning about the history of the country & city & of course eating & drinking delicious things. Thank you for a lovely day, Andres! We know it has already & will continue to deepen our appreciation of Colombia.

The Best Bogota Private Tour!

I recently spent an unforgettable day exploring Bogotá with Gran Colombia Tours, and it was easily one of the highlights of my entire trip. My guide, Camilo, was nothing short of exceptional — a true ambassador of Colombia whose passion for his country shines through in every story, every explanation, and every moment he shares. Over the course of seven hours, Camilo brought Bogotá to life. From the breathtaking views atop Monserrate to the colorful streets of La Candelaria, he wove together history, culture, humor, and insight in a way that made every stop feel meaningful. His knowledge of the Gold Museum, the Botero Museum, and the Basilica Primada was deep and engaging, and he had a gift for connecting Colombia’s past with its present. Our driver, Oscar, was also wonderful — kind, attentive, and always making sure we were comfortable and safe. Together, they created a seamless experience that felt both personal and expertly organized. The coffee and fruit tasting, the walk through Chorro de Quevedo, the art, the stories, the flavors — it all added up to a day I’ll never forget. If you want a tour that goes beyond sightseeing and truly immerses you in the heart of Colombia, ask for Camilo. He represents his country with pride, warmth, and genuine love.

Guatavita Lagoon and Zapiquira Cathedral and Salt Mine

This is a great tour. 160m up to the Lagoon in Guatavita and 180m down at the Zapiquira Cathedral and salt mine. A wonderful experience both above and below ground. Juan Carlos was a fabulous guide who expertly guided us through the history of El Dorado and the Muisca, Grand Colombia, Spanish independence to modern day Colombian politics. Truly uplifting and inspiring.

A Deeply Moving Experience with a great guide

This tour was one of the most profound and deeply moving experiences that I ever had at a sacred space. Jhovanny was the perfect guide. Not only did he know Cathedral inside and out, he was able to allow me to have my experience moving through it. What I had not expected was how great our time in the town of Zipaquira would be as well. I give this tour the highest praise I can.

Coffee Farm Tour from Bogotá – Be a Farmer for a Day

Irene_B, Dec 2025

Incredible experience you shouldn't miss!

I cannot speak highly enough of this experience. The pickup point is a really beautiful hostal in the middle of La Candelaria which is very tourist friendly and safe (and they serve great coffee). Our guide Liz picked us up from there and we got in a 20 person van with our driver Jorge to start our excursion. The ride up the mountain was gorgeous and Liz did a great job telling us all about the city, the mountain and the flora and fauna that drastically changes as we go up the mountain and come down the other side. When we arrived to La Campesina we were welcomed by the owner and her "security" team which are the cutest and friendliest dog group. They don't bark and won't approach you if you don't want to but if you do, they are the sweetest. We had a delicious local breakfast and started with the tour. The farm is an agroecologic operation run by women and Karen was our farm guide. We learned all from how they make the different types of fertilizer to how they grow the plants, the harvest process, the differences between the types of coffee plants and how the coffee cherries are turned into the delicious coffee beans we know. Since we visited during harvest season we even got to pick our own baskets of coffee cherries which was super fun, especially with the gorgeous view from the farm. Then we got to learn all about the different types of brewing and how to recognize good coffee from bad one finishing with a delicious tasting of course. We ended the tour with a delicious ajiaco lunch and headed back to the city. This is truly an experience no one should miss while visiting Bogotá. 10/10 in every aspect!

Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá & Lake Guatavita: tickets included

Mari_G, Nov 2025

Great long tour out of the city

We did the private tour and Gustavo navigated the roads like a trooper while Jorge gave us a very informative and insightful tour all the way out to the town and the lake. It is quite a drive out and around; and traffic is hectic leaving and coming back to Bogota so this tour really requires a full day. We felt safe and well taken care of with these guys. The towns, the Lake Guatavita, the Salt Cathedral and all the panoramic views were so worth it. We arrived back all exhausted after 10 hours but very happy with this experience.

Bogota City Private Tour - Monserrate, Museo del Oro, Candelaria

Ethan_B, Jul 2025

A Great Day in Bogota!!!

Fabio was and amazing guide and Mario was an excellent driver. We would have been stuck literally for hours at Montserrate without Fabio hooking us up with a fast pass. Lunch there was excellent as well. Seeing the Street Art was awesome as was the Gold Museum, which provides some great insight into pre-Columbian Colombian history. Really, there were no low notes in this day as it was a perfect itinerary that hit all the highlights of the city in one day. If you want to see Bogota right make sure Fabio is your guide and Mario is your driver!
