          Great introducation to Bogota
          My husband and I had a great time on this tour. Started early which was great to miss the crowds, though the La Candlearia area does have a better vibe later in the day. Able to visit the key areas of the centre of the city, including the gold museum. I suggest doing this tour before the tour to the lake guatavia tour as the walk through the gold museum gave us some great background for the next day to the lake. Fabio was an excellent guide and we came back to this area another time. The tour set us up really well for our time in Bogota.

          Great tour, awesome guides!
          The tour was great! We were lucky enough to have a private tour and were taken to a beautiful coffee farm where we got to pick our own coffee. Sarai & Jorge were very knowledgeable and friendly and made the tour very entertaining. A great way to start our holiday in Bogota!

          Great layover city tour!
          We had a long layover in Bogotá and contacted BogoTravel tours to arrange one of their layover tours. After giving them our flight details, they organised a great itinerary for us to see alot of the city! We asked to change some things as we wanted to go to the botanical gardens. This was all supported and they rearranged the itinerary. They picked us up on time and everything was seamless. Fernando, our tour guide was great. So knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Bogotá. We had such a great time and although it was quick, it was a great way to see the city! Highly recommend this company!

          You get everything the tours offer plus extra.
          The tour staff were fantastic, Saraí, Jorge, Mr Megal, Felipe and the driver who drives the van were really helpful and did a amazing job to make us feel comfortable. I have to give a huge thank you to Saraí though as she was the best you can ask for, such a nice girl and fantastic tour guide. My girlfriend and I did 4 long day tours and everything was great. I would recommend them to do the tours as they were always on time and all the staff went above their pay grade to make it a trip to enjoy. Regards Danny and Denisa

          Unforgettable Tour of Bogota
          The tour was an amazing experience that showed us parts of Bogota we would not have seen otherwise. First of all, our taxi took us to the wrong bike tour spot. Our guide came and picked us up to then take us on a private tour after sending us a picture of him and the place. Yes, I added the photo to help fellow bikers. We enjoyed graffiti art throughout the city, and he told us the meaning of it. This is truly the heart of the city. We got to see part of the coffee making process and drink some of course. We also saw different neighborhoods and parks along with many other awesome details about the city. Our guide was very knowledgeable and knew the speed to take our group of three so we all had fun. He deserves kudos, and I would highly recommend this tour!

          I had an amazing time with the emerald tour from Bogotravel. When I arrived, I felt very welcome. They are also interested in who you are and how you are doing. The tour was very well organised and very professinal. You decide how slow or fast things go. They really make time for you.

          Emeralds in Bogota
          I took the Bogota Emerald Tour with BogoTravel Tours. The tour was very interesting - visiting the Emerald Museum, Emerald Trade Center and Emerald Market, to see how local traders sell, buy and trade emeralds. An interesting insight into Colombia's amazing gems! BogoTravel Tours is easy to work with and arranged a guided tour that was comfortable and informative.

          Best tour in Bogota! Personalized to your needs.
          We recently had the most incredible tour experience in Bogota with Bogotravel. From the very beginning, our experience was marked by professionalism and genuine care from Laura who assisted us with the booking through WhatsApp even though it was a last minute request from our side. A friendly and respectful driver promptly picked us up from our hotel, making us feel at ease. Our guide -Fernando- was top notch! His infectious energy and extensive knowledge of the city, made the entire experience truly unforgettable. Fernando's passion for his job and his city shone through in every aspect of the tour. Fernando is born for this. He truly made this the best tour we could have hoped for in Bogota.

          Enjoyable City Tour
          Bogotravel Tours is a great company to book with. The pre-booking communication with Fernando was excellent. I had the pleasure of having him as my guide for the Monserrate tour, he was very informative and amiable. I had Stefanie for the city tour. She was lovely and very knowledgable. Both of them spoke excellent English The city tour covers the main sights of the city including the Gold Museum and La Candelaria, and just provides a good overview of the city, which is great if you're short of time. I highly recommend the city tour as well as booking other tours with this company too, you will not be disappointed.

        What a beautiful day it was! We first went to laguna Guatavida, which is really beautiful and then, we went to the salt catedral. Too much religious for me but the place itself is really beautiful!

        And our guide, Fabio, was really knowledgable, really kind and answered all of our questions with a smile! And before going to the catedral, we went for lunch in a local restaurant of Zopaquira, one thing for sure, you won’t starve after the meal. Really good and lots of it!

        The drive went smoothly with the driver, sorry, forgot his name 😳 I forgot my fleece in the back of his car and two days later, he came to our bnb to drop it off! That was truly appreciated!

        Definitely recommend this company!!

        PS: we had a private tour, which was really nice!

        Bogotravel Tours saved our vacation! We missed our connecting flight to Peru due to airline delays, and we were subsequently “stranded” in Bogota for 24 hours. We contacted Fernando from Bogotravel at the very last minute, and he was able to arrange a private tour of the Zipiquira Salt Cathedral for us. The cathedral was INCREDIBLE—what a unique work of architecture! At our request, we were also able to stop at the Museo del Oro in Bogota, which was not on the original itinerary but was something we really wanted to do. Thank you to Fernando for the seamless organization, and to Sarai for being an excellent guide! You turned an unfortunate missed connection into a highlight of our trip!

        Bogotravel tours made our first-ever trip in Bogota a memorable one. Hassle-free inquiry and booking. The company exceeded my expectations and took good care of us from start to finish.

        I really appreciate the effort of our tour guide, Saraya. She is very passionate and always willing to learn. Kudos also to our driver for a safe journey in the busy streets of Bogota. 💯

        The driver/guide was very good, but came 30 minutes late. The main issue was for a 2-hour ride each way, the car was small for 4+ driver. One of us had to sit it the middle in the back seat of this small car all the way. Very uncomfortable. Not what we expected given what we paid, disappointing. The Salt Cathedral was amazing, lunch was good! Traffic was bad.

        We went with Bogotravel tours because of some positive recommendations via trip advisor. We were picked up by Giovanni in a clean van and picked up our guide Camilla and another client.I went with my 2 adult children.All of us got on very well and Camilla was a great guide with local culture and history as was Giovanni driving showing us different areas in the outskirts of Bogota.The guided walk was fabulous with the parks specific guides, facinating to hear about the history of the muisca indigenous people and the history of Guatavita. The walk took us over an hour, stopping and looking at specific species of plants and taking photographs of the Andes and Lagoon it was so peaceful .And Im glad the guide took us up slowly as it was a bit light on as we heading up that trail but I had a quick recovery. Our driver collected us and took us for a great meal at a local restaurant with music and atmosphere.Then we headed for a few photos of a local town and then off to the Salt Cathedral. How memorable !and such a highlight.Photos dont do it justice .So many things to see and the guide for the cathedral was great.We were exhausted when we got home what a day!!.Highly recommended, back to nature , just what we needed after a few days of museums.Thanks Camilla and Giovanni and the staff at Bogotravel tours.

        Me and my partner took a three stop tour: First to the town of Guatavita, then to Guatavita's historic lake, and then to the Zipaquira Salt Cathedral. A lunch / dinner featuring authentic Colombian food was included with the tour. Our tour guide, Francisco, got us to each site with no hassle and good conversation (in English). He had tons of information about each location, and plenty more information about Colombia, Bogota, and general travel in the region. We loved him, and the whole tour experience was one of the highlights of our week long stay in Bogota. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone going to Colombia!

        Fantastic tour with Saraie. She is super well informed, punctual, professional and patient,
        She treated us with the utmost courtesy and like her family. She was flexible to our needs. Our tour lasted for 10 hrs and went from our hotel to the Salt Cathedral, to Montserrat to the historic center of Bogota. She kept us well paced. We give her the highest recommendation. Bogota Tours is lucky to have her as their guide

        Our trip to Guatavita Lake and the Zipaquira Salt Cathedral was amazing! These places are full of history and beautiful nature, and we learned a lot while taking lots of photos.

        Our guides, Saray and Boris, were awesome. Saray was super friendly and knew a lot about the places we visited. She was always ready to take great photos for us, which was really nice. Boris was cool because he knew a lot of people around, and they all seemed to know him too. He was funny and made the trip fun!

        We also had a great lunch at a local place, which was part of the tour. The food was really good and felt authentic.

        The best part was that Saray and Boris spent 12 hours with us, which was impressive. They made sure we had a great time and saw everything we could.

        I would definitely recommend this tour. It was a day well spent, learning and having fun, with two great guides who made it special.

        PS: communication with a company during schedule and pick up was terrible (Zzero answers, no details), but we were able to find the car in a different location and driver and guide were perfect.

        Recently I booked the Zipaquirá + Guatavita tour and it was an amazing experience with Fabio as our tour guide, he was charming and knowledgeable. Don Pedro our driver was punctual and respectful all the time, I'd recommend this company anyday and I'll sure book again with them if I come back to Bogota. Lunch was tasty as well.

        Me and my boyfriend visited Bogota for work. We had just 2 days to explore the city of Bogota and we were worried of where to go and How. I got I recommendation from my Hotel of this tour operator So we decided to do a City Tour and at the morning and then a tour to the Salt cathedral of Zipaquira. We are glad we booked it! We were picked up by Fernando at our Hotel. Who took us to the historic center to start our tour. Fernando was an excellent local guide. He was full of knowledge about every aspect and details he explained us about the historical, political, economics of his country. We were lucky to have arranged with Bogotravel tours. The service and logistic was amazed for the Salt Cathedral Tour, They took us right outside of Bogota. Both tours lasted about eleven hours and we never felt bored or rushed through it. I highly recommend book your tours and services with Bogotravel tours if you have limited time in Bogota.
