1.Bicycle City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 2,156 reviews · 4h 30m · from $19Our pick

Ride through Bogotá with a bilingual guide such as Mike, Lina, Daniel, or David, stopping at a traditional market for exotic fruit, a coffee roaster, street art, historic sites, and a game of tejo. The mostly flat route suits active visitors who want a lively first look at the city, though you must be comfortable cycling in urban traffic.

“I can highly recommend this tour! It's just awesome! You get so much to see during this time and you delve right into the city. I greatly enjoyed the fruit market where you can try a lot of different fruits. You also visit a café where they make their own coffee. On the way you stop frequently and get information about the neighborhood or things you see, even street art. They look very well after you and help you, if you have a problem with your bike. I always felt very safe and enjoyed the tour very much!”

They scrambled to get a driver and guide together- who arrived at 11:30. We did have a nice abbreviated tour and the guide did his best to make it a good day. Very disappointed in the oversight that caused our booking to be missed. I have used Viator as a broker in many countries for tours and have not had this experience previously.”
