Experience to remember!!! - Milena Ramirez has been patient, close and very professional. But her ability to group ES what could stand out most about her and how in love she is DE her work. So much so that he had NO mind putting in more hours DE for a better tour. There is NO need to say that if it is her turn as a guide, you have been very lucky. Highly recommended this tour!!!!!

Best Bogota City Tour! - This is was absolutely a great way to see and learn about the city of Bogota! The tour starts with at Monseratte with a ride on the funicular to the top of the mountain. The grounds are beautiful, immaculate and offer breathtaking views of Bogota and the surrounding mountains. After another picturesque ride back down the mountain on the funicular, we walked to Magola Buendia for a sumptuous local breakfast, followed by stops at so many interesting and beautiful places, including the Gold Museum, Journalist's Park, Plaza de Bolivar and more. Note that this tour includes food, a lot of it. Besides breakfast, there are at least 2 other food tastings, plus coffee/tea and fruit tasting. You definitely won't be hungry. Our guide Lifred was AMAZING!!!! He's very personable, knowledgeable and a fun guy. I would most definitely recommend this tour to everyone visiting Bogota.

Great way to be introduced to Bogota and Colombia - Our tour with Jackie was very enjoyable. She was personable and eager to pass her love for Colombia and Bogota on to us. She progressed at our speed and showed both historical Bogota as well as cultural. The museums were an interesting and unique part of the tour. The food was very authentic and from local vendors. The trip up the mountain and the view from the top was the best. Jackie was especially helpful in joyfully taking pictures of our group whenever we requested, and her English was complete and easily to understand. We would recommend this tour.

Professionalism and Communication - Per the request of Fedi C, the owner of the tour company, I will only talk about the professionalism and communication company: I was informed multiple times in advanced, as is the policy of the company, that my tour might be canceled as I was a solo traveler and the only one signed up. This gave me ample time to find another tour company to make arrangements with. And yes, my tour was canceled. So, for professional and communication, four stars.

Interesting! - The Cerro Monserrate is one of the highest points in Bogotá and is 3152 m above sea level and has splendid views. It also has a church and several tents with local souvenirs, in addition to many snack options, the temperature ranges around 15 to 17 °C. Worth a visit.

Interessante1 - This Bogotá town known as Monserrate is 3152 m above sea level and can be reached by funicular or cable car. The view from above is stunning you see all the city of Bogota, and the temperature drops due to altitude, pleasant climate. There are numerous tents and tents for typical souvenirs and varied snacks.
