A great time under a light rain at Zipaquira Salt Cathedral - The tour guide Giovanni and the driver John were right on time, they were professional, courteous and patient and it was raining both ways. Giovanni was very knowledgeable on the Salt Cathedral, the lunch food was good & taste at the "Brasa del Llano" including the live entertainment and dancing. We walked a bit around town in a light rain and had some "Obleas w/ Arequipe"; we had a great time :-). I recommend! this tour to anyone.

Great experience for anyone who wants to explore something outside of Bogotá. Excellent organization and a very informative tour - This tour is perfect for anyone who would rather leave the driving on the streets of Bogotá to a professional like William. We felt very comfortable on the approximately 1.5-hour drive and were able to enjoy the view from the window. The communication between our guide, Camilo, and William was also excellent, and we could rely on their punctuality and safety. First, we explored the most important part of Zipaquira, the Plaza de la Independencia. As he had done the day before on another tour, Camilo impressed us with his knowledge of english and spanish. Afterwards, we went to the Catedral de Salt, where, thanks to our private tour, we had enough time to explore all the individual stops, and Camilo was able to tell us a lot of interesting facts about everything. For lunch, we were able to enjoy the hospitality and delicious food of Zipaquira at a local restaurant. And on the return trip, Camilo and William were never too tired to tell us about Colombian customs and traditions. Thank you so much for this fantastic tour and the excellent communication between the guide, driver, agency, and us! We'll be back!

Neat Experience, Great Guide! - The Cathedral and Zipaquira are can’t miss experiences! Our guide, David, shared so much about the history of the Cathedral, Zipaquira, Colombia, and so much more! The tour was one our favorite experiences during our two weeks in Colombia!

Fantastic Salt Cathedral Tour with Personal Touches - I had a wonderful experience on the Bogotá Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral Private Tour with Sergio as my English-speaking guide and Cecelia as my driver. Sergio’s deep knowledge really enhanced the day — he didn’t just present facts, but thoughtfully shared his own perspectives and stories along the way. I truly appreciated that personal touch; travel isn’t just about the sights, but about the people you meet, and Sergio made the journey memorable in that way. Cecelia was also a fantastic driver, making the ride comfortable and easy. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to dive deeper into Colombian culture while exploring one of its most iconic landmarks!
