Historical gold museum - There are so many museums near by it. When you go to gold museum. You could plan the time for all the museums near by , check the timing for the museums. Some of them are closed for certain days. It is full of historical gold pieces in the museum. You could learn a lot of history from it.

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!

Great introduction to Bogota - Nice introduction to Bogota. Very knowledgeable tour guide and good driver. Marta was very personable and Andreas, the driver, was very skillful. I think this is a perfect tour when you have limited time in Bogota - or even just an introduction to get you comfortable with the city and its neighborhoods, culture and food.

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!
