Traveler reviews
Explore Authentic Bogotá in the Mountains
Tour was booked at the last minute and still accepted by the tour company. The tour guide spoke both English and Spanish, so even though everyone on the tour was able to understand Spanish, the guide made sure to speak with me in English after providing the information first in Spanish. We had time to take photos near the cathedral at the top of the mountain, in addition to order food. After the tour was complete, we could explore Monserrate's tourist market which was full of vendors selling clothing, jewelry, souvenirs and plenty of restaurants to eat food. It was a great time, but be prepared to be in that altitude for hours. Might be best to take an altitude medicine or drink some of the coca tea to prevent altitude sickness if you're not from the region or live in an area with high altitude.
Be patient lol and bring...

Bogota from a Birds Eye view
Chris was fantastic! We had a bad trip into Bogota with a delayed flight, missed flight and lost luggage. So we needed to cancel and Gran Tours was great to accommodate us and reschedule for later. Chris told us where to stand in the cable car to get a great view and he knew a lot of great historical insights. As a Muslim, I had never seen a Black Mary! Great views and definitely eat at the Colombian restaurant up at the top with the views!
Do This Tour!
Great tour and history of Monserrate and Bogota! Maria, our tour guide. was knowledgeable, engaging and friendly...and quite patient! This was my first time visiting Bogota and my first tour. The historical information that Maria provided was truly insightful and valuable. Although it was quite cold on my tour day, I would still highly recommend this tour. [Note: If you're from warmer/hotter climates, be sure to check the temp for your tour date and wear weather-appropriate clothing.]
Thanks
Tour was excellent. Our tour guide Luis was very knowledgeable and patient as he had to provide the tour in both English (for us) and Spanish (for everyone else. Thank you
