Discover the talent of the best artists from Bogotá
With this art gallery tour, discover how Bogotá has inspired generations of artists who have engraved its streets and bohemian spirit in letters, paintings, and sculptures—in other words, into works of art. As a union between the legacy of 20th-century artists and the fresh and youthful spirit of new talents, the San Felipe neighborhood emerged, better known as the Bogotá Art District.

Here you will find the perfect balance of quality, safety, and authenticity to experience Bogotá from a different perspective.
Reasons to experience the art gallery tour
The San Felipe neighborhood, with its quiet, residential atmosphere and mid-century facades, houses a total of 15 art institutes and galleries that make up the emerging new art scene in Bogotá. The scene opens up space for national and international artists and for proposals that reflect on the state of art in the country, and in general, in places that reflect on art and culture. Such was its success that in 2018 it caught the attention of the New York Times, which published a report on the neighborhood, solidifying its popularity.
On our tour, you can move through the neighborhood in the comfort of your private transportation at all times; likewise, an expert guide on the subject will curate a selection of the best art galleries to visit according to your interests. Among the curatorial lines of the Art District are urban, modern, VIP, installations, challenging art, or simply uncategorized works.
Our tour offers the possibility of talking with gallery directors, curators, or artists depending on the occasion. Likewise, depending on the time of year, you can participate in "La noche San Felipe," a day when the doors of all galleries and institutes open until midnight to welcome the Bogotá public, which has known how to receive, preserve, and promote new national talents.

Unforgettable tours and experiences from our clients
See what our clients have to say about their incredible tours through Bogotá and various destinations across Colombia.
By the end of the week, I felt I'd made a new friend and was leaving a city I had fallen in love with. If and when we get to go back, I'll be asking Daniel to take us to more sites and share more of his favorite places with us. I can't adequately express how much his time and dedication to our trip meant to me. Absolutely wonderful tour guide.
Jessy CanadaExcellent tour all around. Arian was our guide and she was fun, entertaining and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
