We met our guide next to a bakery right by the Gold Museum. It was nice he gave us a tour where the Emerald history and outdoor sales occur before we started our jewelry making.
The guys helping us make a ring were fantastic! There were about 6 of us in a room with 2 experts plus our guide and we each had a lot of help melting down the metal and shaping the ring. Note, you can choose to upgrade/add additional emeralds ranging from $30-$120 USD.
Pro-tip: pick out a design first, our guide showed us pictures from their IG account.
The ring turned out much better than I anticipated! Great unique souvenir that showcases the amazing significance of Colombian's gem.

Reviews: Bogotá Tour: Monserrate, Food, City Walk & Botero Museum

I had a fantastic walking tour in Bogota with Nat. We explored La Candelaria, visited Monserrate, the Gold Museum, and Botero, and even sampled some great local snacks. Nat is incredibly informative and knows her city inside out.
What really impressed me was how she handled a setback when my phone was stolen. She went above and beyond, helping me speak with the police and taking me to a shop to buy a new phone. As a solo traveler, having her support was invaluable. Despite the incident, I had a great trip. I highly recommend Nat to anyone visiting—she truly looks out for her guests!

Fabulous experience. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had an incredible time and am super satisfied with the outcome of my ring. People have already complimented it and think it's from a jewelry store.

An incredible experience, beautiful places (Monserrate, the Gold Museum, the Botero Museum, La Candelaria, Plaza Bolívar, etc.). The guide, Catalina, was very kind and professional, making the tour a great experience. Highly recommended.

Ivonna was amazing. Brought the color and life to the group. Loved to learn about the real just and how art changed the culture in Colombia. Also learning about the biodiversity in Colombia resonated with me as I love nature. Thank you so much.
