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

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.

The salt cathedral was... - The salt cathedral was very unique and impressive, and it was nice to spend time in the authentic town of Zipaquira afterwards. David was so friendly and passionate about his hometown. He also gave us some nice, local snacks and took us to another area when the traffic back to Bogotá was busy.

Amazing Guide – Highlight of Our Trip! - We had the best experience on our Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral tour with David as our guide. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make the day memorable. His mini-bus was super comfortable and clean, which made the ride enjoyable from start to finish. David is very knowledgeable and passionate—he explained everything in great detail, answered all our questions, and kept the tour engaging throughout. You can tell he really cares about his guests having a good time. This tour became one of the highlights of our entire trip to Colombia thanks to him. If you’re looking for a top-notch guide who makes you feel safe, welcomed, and informed, book with David—you won’t regret it!

Great tour! Interesting, fun, and filling! - David was great. He was communicative, punctual, and friendly. He is also a resident of Zipaquira so he knows the city, and its residents, like the back of his hand. Walking the streets with him was like walking around with the mayor. He had us to the cathedral safely and quickly, and he taught us a lot about the area. The salt oven and brewery were interesting and fun, respectively, and the city tour allowed us to grab some local bites before we returned to Bogota. I was a little cautious with so few reviews, but I’m glad we took the chance. David was great!
