Very nice guided tour - Very nice exit! Visiting the cathedral and Zipaquira is worth the cost, and our guide Juan was very friendly and knows the history of the country very well, we learned a lot about Colombia!

We had a great time with... - We had a great time with our driver. We were able to explore the cave on our own time. A highlight for us was stopping into the Zipaquirá city center for some Holy Week celebrations as well.

Cathedral of Salt: A Tour That Exceeds Expectations - We had the opportunity to take a guided tour to the Salt Cathedral and the experience was simply exceptional. The weather was unbeatable and accompanied every moment of the tour. Our guides, Jorge and Esther, were a real privilege: warm, fun, attentive and with a deep knowledge of Bogota and its history. The way they shared every detail made the tour feel close and extremely enriching. The Cathedral of Salt is an impressive, majestic and unique work of its kind. Walking through its tunnels and illuminated spaces is almost a sensory journey that exceeds any expectation. In conclusion, it was an unparalleled experience that we highly recommend.

Amazing tour - just what we were looking for! - If you’re looking for a Zipaquira tour, book this now!! Our guide Ludwyn was awesome - he gave us such a thorough tour not just of the salt cathedral but also shared so many other insightful facts and info on Bogota and Colombian history and culture. I had previously been to zipaquira on my own a few years back but got so much more out of my experience because of our expert guide. And it was really nice not having to worry about transportation to and from Zipaquira. Our driver Luisa picked us up from our Airbnb and dropped us off in Candelaria afterwards at our request. So glad we booked this tour!

Fantastic experience - Our tour of the Salt Cathedral was already incredible, but Milena made it exceptional. She’s a local from Zipaquirá and it shows—her passion for the place is contagious. Funny, knowledgeable, and super engaging, she brought every corner of the cathedral to life with stories and insights we’d never have found on our own. You can tell she loves what she does, and we felt lucky to be guided by someone so genuine and enthusiastic. Highly recommend booking with her if you get the chance!

A unique experience with a great tour guide! - Thanks to our professional and attentive guide, Steve, we saw a very special optical illusion not included in the audio guides. Learned a lot about the history and facts! The only downside about the mine was too many religious sculptures with no relation to the mine's structure or origins bearing in mind not every visitor follows the same faith.

Left us at the pick-up point for 45 minutes and then cancelled the trip without reason - It was agreed that we will be picked up from the hotel at 7 am, we were standing in front of the hotel at 6:55 and waited, at 7:15 I wrote via WhatsApp once, no reply at 7:30 again, they were online but again no reply at 7:45 came a cancellation. An absolute naughtiness, if they have a problem they could also cancel or write a day earlier, we are the last ones who won't let you talk to them. This organizer I definitely deleted for us!!!
