Breathtaking experience out side the busy city - Amazing! Went into the experience expecting something very different and was blown away with both experiences. Andrea our guide was fantastic. Friendly, informative, knew when to provide time to just reflect and enjoy. Such a fantastic guide. Couldn’t recommend this experience more. Two distinct experiences but both absolutely breathtaking.

From Heavenly Lagoon to Salt of the Earth - Our private tour to Laguna Guatavita and Cathedral Sal Zipaquirá was terrific. Our guide, David, from Nomadas Colombia Travel, is a wonderful storyteller, and he provided a great explanation of the sites. He is kind and patient too. David knew the good spots for eating, including a stop for arepas and fresh hot corn on the cob, which tasted like popcorn. His driver was lovely too. Highly recommend.

David, Alex, Salt and Pork—A Winning Combination - The whole day was great. David is a great guide, very knowledgeable and his English is excellent. Alex is an excellent and careful driver. Both David and Alex are kind, considerate and funny. And the Colombian bbq joint they took me to for lunch was great. Try the Verdi. You won’t regret it.

Enjoyable and comfortable trip - We joined a private tour for 2 pax. We were greeted by our guide Jhovanny and driver Alexander. Jhovanny was very friendly. He has done a great job and explained everything clearly in English. Alexander was excellent and brought us everywhere safely. We were comfortable and enjoyed every moment. The trip was nice and appropriate in length and time. It was overall an enjoyable trip.

Wonderful. 100 do it! - An amazing experience with a great guide David who made us feel comfortable and welcome. His english was perfection and had a great way of explaining the synbolism and representation of things without being overwhelming. Just the right amount of history and insight that we could not have gotten otherwise. We 100% recommend. The private tour was absolutely worth it and this is from someone who did A LOT of research prior to booking. We loved it and have beautiful pictures memories to cherish forever as well!
