Great Tour, Even Better Tour Guide - Francisco, the tour guy, gave a great dual tour in both Spanish anc English. How he was able to keep going and be so detailed is beyond me.

Great attraction and great guide - Monserrate is one of the best points of Bogota and doing it with our guide Nati was great as she explained us the history, details of points of interest, and made the whole visit a great experience.
Keep in mind you can stay at the top of Monserrate once the tour ends and come down when you decide (the guide will provide you your ticket that is valid for any time in the same day), so you can stay enjoy the view and also have lunch/coffee before getting down to the city.

Can't miss - Montserrate is clearly iconic, and must see when you visit Bogota. Even if you aren't religious, you can't miss the amazing views of the city from the top of the hill. I found that it was really time saving to get the tour, since the guide already has the tickets and saves time. Also, the tour is full of interesting facts about the side and the city. I definitely recommend this tour.
