Excellent service - Thanks to David, we were able to live an incredible experience on our trip through Colombia, made us feel like a family with a lot of willingness to take us to know the places and it wasn't explaining everything

Would recommend - This tour is definitely worth it if you can make the time for it! The Salt Cathedral and Zipaquira are unique and definitely worth the tour/visit and it is only enhanced by the guide David. He showed us around his hometown and was very informative and accommodating, will definitely reach out the next time we are in the area!

A great day! - Safe travel to and from the destination, the salt cathedral is a must see, but what really made this experience very memorable was travelling with David and his girlfriend - super friendly people with a lot of knowledge, spoke great English and were very proud of their town. The brewery tour followed by lunch onsite was delicious, and the salt oven was very cool to see.

Salt cathedral and brewery tour - David took care to think of all the little details to make this day trip from Bogota memorable. His passion for sharing his home town and culture with us made us feel like we were getting a tour from a friend.

Excellent tour! Everyone has to know Zipaquira and the Cathedral from the perspective of a local person - It was a great experience! Get to know the cathedral, salt ovens, the village and about the craft beer process. David was a very kind person, he taught us a lot about Colombia and its people. The wafers were amazing!!! A highly recommended tour, allows you to know not only the cathedral but also the history of where it is located

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.

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.
