The cost of tours in Colombia will vary considerably depending on duration and what you want to do. Self-guided tours of Bogotá or Medellín will set you back as little as US$6 per person, while short guided walking tours begin at about US$10. Prices rise for longer tours or those with extra features, such as admission to attractions, meals, or round-trip transportation. Multi-day tours can cost thousands of dollars per person.

For example, the Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena costs around US$12 per person. While this 2.5 tour features a guide, it can accommodate a group of up to 25 travelers. At the other end of the price range, the Cartagena: Private boat + Private island + Cholon + Snorkeling is priced at US$1,000 for a group of up to six people. The boat will be private to your group, and you can tailor your own itinerary for a day of beach time, snorkeling, and relaxing on the water.

Colombia tours feature a wide array of activities. If you're based in any of Colombia's main cities, walking tours that focus on architecture, food, history, and culture are always popular. However, if you're looking to travel around the country a little more, island-hopping, hiking, and trips to coffee plantations are all available, too.

Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. One of the most popular multi-day trips in Colombia is Hike for 4 days to the Lost City, Santa Marta—a camping adventure through the Colombian wilderness. It traces the ancient path to the lost city of Santa Marta, hidden deep in the rainforest.

Plan two weeks ideally to explore Colombia if you hope to travel around the whole country. You’ll want to allocate a couple of days each to Bogotá, Medellín, and Cartagena, plus factor in time for a boat trip to the Rosario Islands for beach time and relaxation. Depending on your interests, consider day trips to La Chorrera to see its waterfalls, Guatapé for its colorful buildings, or to explore the country’s UNESCO-listed “Coffee Cultural Landscape.
