          Your experience begins with a pick-up from your hotel in a private vehicle, taking you directly to the Gold Museum. The museum, founded in 1939 by Colombia’s Bank of the Republic, preserves the archaeological heritage of the country. Today, it houses over 55,000 gold pieces from the Pre-Columbian era, with 6,000 items on display in beautifully arranged exhibits. Learn about the craftsmanship and belief systems of Colombia’s indigenous cultures as your guide shares captivating stories about the artifacts, which range from intricate gold jewelry to ceremonial objects. After your guided tour of the Gold Museum, you’ll have time to visit the souvenir shop, where you can purchase mementos to remember your experience. The tour concludes at the museum, where your guide will leave you to further explore or head to your next destination.

          Superb Colulumbian Odyssey, perfectly planned and realized.
          We are older experienced travelers who prefer to travel as a couple rather than in a group. With the help of a peerless trip arranger, Felipe Cardona, we designed a 17 day "tasting menu" trip of many places in Columbia. Among the places we visited were, Bogota, the Andes near Bogota, Leticia and the Peruvian Amazon, Medellin, Jardin, Santa Marta are and ruins and Cartagena. To sum up our experience: superb and very wothwhile. Every place we went we were greeted by knowledgeable and personable guides, on-time and excellent drivers, very nice accommodations and food, and consistently involving activities. In particular the many guides we met, Dianna, Johnny, Will, Gabo, Doriel, Monica, Catherine, Victoria and others enhanced our experience and provided very professional and personable interactions. To get to these diverse places and return home we took 10 flights, mostly with Avianca without incident or delay. We would strongly recommend a trip like this, perhaps with a day longer stay in certain locations to anyone who requires personalized service and excellent responsiveness to a travelers needs.

          Five star day with Jhovanny!!
          Jhovanny was our super guide! From the moment we stepped in the van, he began explaining the history and geography of the mines, the cathedral, and the surroundings. He tailored the tour to our interests and made sure we were always comfortable and safe. Five star day!!!

          A critical visit of social conseuence off the path of most tourists
          This is an amazing opportunity experience first hand the living conditions and to learn about the violent history and the path many of the residents have chosen to achieve a more peaceful environment. It is a work in progress, but the results, to date, are impressive. One learns about conflicts and resolutions from different perspectives. The tour guides are sincere and willing to answer even difficult questions. The symbolism associated with the graffiti in the area is explained and touches one's heart. This is truly an opportunity to see a part of Bogata missed by most tourists, where your emotions will be challenged!

          Must See in Bogoto
          I was so impressed by how this community is trying to forge a brighter future for itself and especially its children. After being neglected by the rest of Bogota, the citizens of Egipto are working to make peace in their neighborhood, beautify their streets, stay out of jail, and learn a viable trade. Please come and support this inspiring community!

          Raul is knowledgeable and naturally friendly. The food stops were excellent regional examples and fun to taste and experience. The afternoon was well paced. We are very glad we signed up.

          Awesome experience, great hosts!
          Very collaborative providers, both the agency and the hosting hotel & guides. We did the 5-day experience which includes a day of activation and a rest day at the end where you can visit local hot springs/pools. This was a very special experience. I had wanted to come to this area for a long time and feel like we received the red carpet treatment all around. I especially want to recognize the Caminante hotel/hostel, where we stayed and where our guides were sourced from. This is a family run business and the family are truly a special group. Doña Marta, and her sons Carlos, Ivan, and Jovani, were very personable, competent, and accommodating, holding our hands every step of the way. We were able to complete the three hikes, and were fortunate to have good weather during our stay here. Several things to keep in mind are that you’ll definitely want to acclimatize before going up into the park to explore the glaciers and lakes. This tour includes a first day of acclimatizing to a local peak near the town which has a mellow 4 mile hike. The 3 longer hikes are generally 8-10 miles round trip and take you up to around 15 to 16,000 feet above sea level. Also, in hiring the guides it meant that they took care of all the paperwork and permitting with the park. The guides are required by the park. With several of the other guests at the hotel our hosts were helpful in coordinating some TLC in terms of some of the ailments that came up for other guests, including typical travel bugs and exhaustion on the mountain. This is definitely a more strenuous experience and something that will interest people who love trekking and exploring off the beaten path places. On the trail you’ll definitely find others because they’re really only three trails open in the park and each day they allow between 80 and 140 people on the trail depending on which trail you pick. 95% of the travelers out there on the trail or Colombians who are incredibly friendly and upbeat. Also, you may want check out the AllTrails app about hikes in the Cocuy National Park where I’ve posted some more detailed information about each of the 3 trails/hikes featured on this tour.

          Driver was not there on arrival
          I would not recommend this operator. I was told upon arrival I would be greeted by the driver with a sign of my name. There was no driver on arrival. I had to call the operator and they had to call someone to pick us up. We had to wait over 30 minutes. The driver did not arrive with a sign. They clearly forgot about us.

          Stunning views!
          What an amazing tour! Let’s start by talking about the beautiful drive up the mountainside of Bogotá, simply amazing! The authentic breakfast snack (arepa) and drink we had before the hike, were really tasty. The hike exposes you to timeless and breathtaking moments and views. Further, the hike requires a certain level of fitness, so please be aware when booking. There is a physically demanding aspect to this tour. However, it is worth the trek! Most importantly, our tour guide, Gigio, was the best!! Gigio was very knowledgeable and provided valuable information about the region, the country, and its history. Also, Gigio did a great job of making sure we took breaks and pointing out picturesque moments, and he provided recommendations to delicious restaurants and must-see attractions around the city. In all, if you are a nature loving, thrill seeker, this is a must do tour in Bogotá!

          You HAVE TO take this tour!
          This was an incredibly authentic tour. What made it even more special is you have former gang members talking about the the rivalry and the neighborhood and the transformation and how they got shot with guns and spent time in prison and I mean it was really, really unbelievably authentic. It was, I highly recommend it for everybody.

          My guide was Raul, he was incredible. You always know if you had a good tour that when the tour is over, you are friends with the guide. I can confirm, he's a good friend now. The restaurants you visit are very authentic and the stories along the way are wonderful.

          Great Day in Colombias Capital City
          We took the City Tour early September and were blessed with a beautiful day. Our Tour guide Gigio picked us up from the hotel on time. Since it was a private tour we were flexible in choosing our schedule and decided to visit Monserrate first to avoid the big crowds which was a good decision. Waiting lines for the Funicolare and Gondola were still quite short. What a beautiful place with phantastic views over most of Bogota. Next we went to the old town (Candelaria) and started our tour at the Mercado Concordia with an exotic fruit and juice tasting before we went through the old cobblestone streets with shops and restaurants and houses with interesting murials to the Plaza Bolivar with the Cathedral, Supreme Court Building, City Hall and Parliament. We decided to skip the Botero Museum but visited Museo de Oro. Gigio was full of information and answered all our questions. His English was perfect and he made the tour very informative and entertaining. After a safe trip back he dropped us off at our hotel. We highly recommend this tour and Gigio for a great and informative day in Bogota.

          Unforgettable experience in Bogotá
          Our tour guide Martha and driver Jeider were excellent. Even though we had only 4 hours, we were able to see the popular sights of Bogotá and the art in the city. They also had a deep knowledge of the city. We learned a lot about Bogotá and Colombia.

        I recently had the pleasure of touring Bogotá with David and Martha, and I can't recommend them highly enough! Their deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems truly enhanced our experience. They were friendly, engaging, and went out of their way to make sure we felt comfortable and had fun.

        we reached it traversing the town from car 85 call 13 and we did not opt for guided tour. We were impressed to be allowed in gratis some of us been over 65. Interestingly lit with in immense number of items and interesting side shows. No particulars and overannotated references were made on the displays It was comfortably laid out and though populous we managed to traverse effortlessly. The pre-colombian heritage on display was stupendous and allowed for comprehension on metallurgy, symbolism and rites. Thus modern and not fetishistic with key statistics and side rooms for gifts ar education. The gift shop slightly overprices gold reproductions but what else would you expect. The edifice rests and breathes on the national endowment. Transnationally worth it. Have never been to an equivalent

        This tour is a fantastic way to begin a journey of knowledge and discovery about Colombia. Our guide John did an amazing job of providing a wealth of information about Colombia’s history and cultural heritage from the moment he picked us up at the hotel.

        Once the tour is complete you’re left right in the heart of Bogota with Bolivar Square and La Candelaria nearby where you can continue on in a journey through history if you desire.

        The most important thing about the guided tour is getting the indigenous perspective and not the solely colonial point of view. I'm not a big museum person, but the experience is completely different with someone that can expand on the the little index cards of information and provide relevant context.

        Museo de Oro houses an amazing collection of artifacts, not only in gold, from hundreds of years of Colombian history. it's spans 4 floors, is interactive with children with tons of information. It's in the heart of Bogota so this is one of many spots of interest to fill your time and when you are done, you can explore many sites in the surrounding area. They offer audio tour however i would skip this as the plaque's have plenty of information in both english and espanol.
