9.5/10(512) · Bookable via Civitatis

Quick answer

Yes, it is free: no ticket, you tip the guide at the end. Bogotá Old Town Bike Free Tour meets at Plaza del Chorro de Quevedo, lasts about 3h30 and is guided in Spanish and English; rated 9.5/10 from 512 reviews on Civitatis.

Start times vary by date and are confirmed when you book.

Starting at the Chorro de Quevedo, this bike tour covers more of La Candelaria than a walking route can in the same three and a half hours — cobbled backstreets, mural-covered alleys and small plazas that most visitors never find on foot. It's a good option if you'd rather pedal than climb Bogotá's sloped colonial streets at 2,640 meters.

Your guide keeps a relaxed pace suited to riders of different levels, weaving past university buildings near Los Andes, pausing for photos with Monserrate in the background, and finishing back in the historic center with a clearer sense of how La Candelaria's neighborhoods connect.
