Perfect introduction to the city! Views from Monseratte were amazing, the Gold Museum worth the visit and the city itself is a charm. The city tour was done in a small-group so we didn't have to wait around for other people to take pictures etc. Guide was the best, thanks Claudia!

I'm glad I booked this. Bogota is a large city and I couldn't have seen everything on my own. Thanks for the help.
