Brilliant tour and guide - This was an amazing experience- the highlight so far of my first visit to Colombia. David is such a lovely man, so proud of his country and his home town. He was so interesting to talk to. A great guide. Gave us plenty of time on our own, to explore and take our time but ready to be there whenever we were ready. The salt cathedral itself is absolutely mesmerising. Not to be missed if you are in the area and we would highly recommend you take David as your tour guide.

The Salt Cathedral and More! - We had an amazing tour with David. It exceeded our expectations. Because David was local to the area it felt like a more personal experience. He was very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. Highly recommend.

5/5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique Day Trip from Bogota - We had a great experience with David, touring from Bogota to Zipaqueria, experiencing the unique town and setting. A great beer tasting, learning of the Salt Ovens and how Salt plays into the local culture. We finished the tour at the Salt Cathedral which is unlike anything we've seen in the world, and capped off with a massage in the underground DeSal Spa. Highly recommend this tour.

Great time! - What a fantastic day! The Zipaquirá tour was great. The Salt Cathedral was stunning, but what made it truly memorable were our guides — David and his lovely girlfriend. Thank you both for the great vibes, interesting stories, and all the care you showed. Greetings from Ukraine — it was so heartwarming to feel your kindness and to share this day together. 💙💛

Not your average Zipaquira tour - This is a great tour that goes beyond just the Salt Cathedral. We also had the chance to walk around the beautiful town of Zipaquira and learn historical facts. As an added bonus, David the guide is a local and made the experience very enjoyable. We definitely recommend this tour.

Very good experience - David is a great guide, very flexible and always attentive to the preferences of the people he carries. His explanations are clear and close because he knows firsthand the salt ovens and the town of Zipaquirá. The Salary Restaurant very rich and with live music.

The experience was... - The experience was amazing, David explained many interesting things along the way. The tour took us slightly longer than planned but was totally worth it. The salt mine is a place that must be visited at least once in a lifetime, then we went to the last remaining salt oven in the area to finish with an explanation of the craft brewing of the area. 100% recommended

Greatest tours out there. - beyond just a salt tour. - Your guide was the greatest. Walking around with him was like walking with the mayor of the city. The man just made everything happen.

Day trip to Zipaquirá salt cathedral - We enjoyed the trip with David very much. He was a good guide and at the end of the trip to the salt mine he took us to a microbrewery and the center of the old town of Zipaquira. Although he was late to pick us because of the bad traffic on a rainy Bogota day, he more than made up through his excellent service.
