Description
More than a guided tour, this experience will allow you to discover Fernando Botero’s universe from a completely different perspective. Although admission to the museum is free, many of the stories, influences and details that shaped his work often go unnoticed by those who tour it on their own.
Through participatory activities and easy-to-understand explanations, you will learn to observe his works with new eyes, understand the evolution of his style, his vision of art and discover the history of the extraordinary donation that gave rise to one of the most important collections in Colombia.
Ideal for travelers of all ages, families, culture lovers and anyone who wants to live the Botero Museum in a dynamic, interactive and knowledge-free way.

Guided tour of the Botero Museum.
The tour of the Botero Museum with Colombia’s Wonders seemed very complete to me, with clear and relevant information and always maintaining a good pace. I recommend this tour to those who do not simply want to see paintings, but also learn about the history of this great artist and this important museum in Bogotá.

Fantastic experience with Luis
We had the pleasure of visiting the Botero Museum in Bogotá accompanied by Luis and we could not have asked for a better guide. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and above all passionate: he told us the history of the works and of Botero in a simple, interesting, and engaging way, making us appreciate every detail even more.
Luis did not just limit himself to giving us information, but he made us experience the museum, telling us curiosities and anecdotes that we probably would never have discovered on our own.
A truly kind, professional person who is passionate about their work. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to discover Bogotá through the eyes of a local guide!
Thank you Luis for this beautiful experience! 🇨🇴🎨

Grazie di cuore per questa bellissima e dettagliata recensione! 😊 Siamo davvero felici di sapere che avete apprezzato l’esperienza con Luis e che il suo modo di raccontare la vita di Botero, le sue opere e le tante curiosità del museo vi abbia permesso di vivere la visita in modo così speciale.
Per noi è molto importante che le nostre esperienze vadano oltre le semplici informazioni e che ogni visitatore possa scoprire le storie, i dettagli e il contesto che spesso non si riescono a cogliere visitando il museo da soli.
Siamo particolarmente felici che abbiate percepito la passione e la dedizione di Luis, perché è proprio questo che cerchiamo di trasmettere attraverso ogni esperienza.
Grazie ancora per aver scelto di vivere questa esperienza con noi e per aver condiviso le vostre parole. È stato un vero piacere avervi con noi! ❤️

Amazing tour!
We had an amazing time on the museum tour with our guide, Jose. He led a fun, engaging tour and was very knowledgeable about the history of Botero and how his art evolved over time, as well as the other artists and works we saw in the museum. This was definitely a must-do tour because a lot of the information Jose gave to us could not be found simply by walking around the museum or by reading the plaques. He also gave us great food recommendations and was very nice! I feel like I understand Botero’s art now. 10/10 🙌

Thank you so much for such a wonderful and thoughtful review! It truly means a lot to us. 😊
We're especially happy to hear that the tour helped you understand Botero's art in a deeper way. One of the things we enjoy most about this experience is being able to connect the artworks with Botero's life, his artistic evolution, and the historical and cultural context behind them, while also discovering the stories of the other artists in the museum.
We're also glad you enjoyed the food recommendations! It was such a pleasure having you with us, and we're really happy to know that you felt the experience went beyond simply walking around and reading the plaques.
Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending the tour. A 10/10 truly means a lot to us! We hope you had a wonderful time in Bogotá and an amazing rest of your trip. 😊
