I have been here for 4 years and cannot predict the weather. April and May might historically have been the rainy months, I don't know. The last three years late Oct to late Dec have been the rainy months. Actually it didn't rain yesterday.

These tours were available in English and completely free.
Tours left from the east side of Plaza de Bolívar. Before/after the tour you would be within easy walking distance of many of the key sights to hit on a short visit to BOG (Museo del Oro, Museo Botero, etc.)
I don't think they do that, I haven't heard of it. I will gladly show anyone around for free as I am rusty and need to be on standby in case any of our guides has a dodgy arepa and cannot get out of bed. Let me know by PM if you want showing stuff.
