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!

A private tour for my... - A private tour for my partner and I. A driver and a personal guide, so we were well taken care of. We were picked up at 8am and back to hotel at 4pm. The tour was well paced given the traffic, activities and lunch. We did not feel rush from one activity to another. Bring your own water as no refreshment provided except lunch. It was a guided tour at Lake Guatavita, Mauricio was very kind translated all the information and tales presented by the guide. It was a 150 steps climb to view the lake. A delicious lunch was provided. Salt cathedral was thoughtfully built and beautiful. Mauricio explained every architecture ideas of each cross made in the Sal cathedral. He was fun and made the tour enjoyable.

Good experience but money apparently stolen - The tour itself was very well conducted by Sebastian and we had a wonderful time. However, the main issue (still unresolved) is that we had paid for Zipaquirá + Laguna Guatavita, however we received a last-minute note from the company that a visit to the Laguna wouldn`t be possible. When we asked for a partial refund as per the cancellation, no replies from Viator UNTIL TODAY (it has been 2 full weeks since the tour, chased them several times and no substantial replies - they are still "trying to understand what happened" and no signs of my money. Will keep this posted updated as time goes, hoping I get a refund.
