Traveler reviews
It was okay, but you can do it on your own. Limited value
I booked this tour originally as I was a solo travellers and opted for easiness. In the end I thought it was just average. I did not receive any text or information prior so I was desperately looking for the guide when I arrived at the funicalar station. In the end we had to wait for about 15-20 min for late travellers. We took funicular, arrived to the top and did the normal walks. The guide was talking about the fauna and flora a little bit (it was a rainy day so not much to see). When we arrived at the church we got interesting stories about Bogota and the area. It went pretty quick and then the guide said it was it and left us up there. I opted for the way down via the walking path (which was nice). So it was ok but should have I known, I would have gone there on my own, purchased my own ticket (far cheaper, very quick and no need to wait for anyone). I would have taken a one way anyway as I liked the hike down (just about an hour).
Delicious food
Excellent service and the food was tasty
Very good tour.
Very good route, our guide Cristian explained everything about Monserrate and also acted as a photographer for the whole group. Recommended tour.
Amazing experience
Great tour. Absolutely amazing tour guide. Gerald was awesome!
Excellent Tour
My partner and I had a great time on this tour. Many said to just book the ticket for the Funicular and go but I am happy I did the tour because I was able to get an in-depth knowledge of Monserrate, something I would not have gotten if I just went on my own. Everything was explained well and all of my questions were answered. I am happy that I did this tour and I would encourage anyone who wants to learn the history to book this tour. Once the tour concludes you are free to stay and do your own exploration which we did. So I did not feel rushed at all. If you go on the weekends, especially on Sunday expect long lines when it comes to the cable car or the funicular.
