A nice day tour - This tour company is a great small local business, which makes our experience very private and warm! Our guide is very friendly that greet the whole family with care! We get picked up by a very nice SUV, drive is about 1.5 hour to the Cathedral and there has been a local guide waiting there to give us a great in depth tour for the attraction. You just can’t visit this without the guide, so much information to learn there! The tour is very flexible as well. No rush anywhere. We spent about 10 min in the small town next to the cathedral before heading back and people can choose to stay there longer before heading back.

Unforgettable tour!! - We were in a group of three friends. Our guide was Mr. Luis Felipe. I was quite satisfied from the beginning with the company’s attention. As soon as I bought the ride, they got in touch, which gave a lot of security. On the day of the tour, the guide was extremely punctual, careful and attentive. Clean car, driven calmly. Very careful. The tickets were already bought which saved us time. During the tour of the cathedral he drew attention to the most interesting points, took beautiful photos and explained the history and the details of this amazing place! The walk through the squares of the city is also well worth it. We like everything! Super indicated!

Timely and Enjoyable - We hired Luis Filipe twice once for an airport pickup and the second time to take us to the salt cathedral. Both experiences were first rate.

Exceeded Expectations! - Highly recommend this tour. Luis is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic and this was a great first tour in Bogotá. He was very accommodating and frequently checked that we were happy with his approach throughout the day. He brought the salt cathedral to life for us and navigated all the highlights perfectly!

Don't miss out on this tour! - Our tour group included my retired parents, my teenage son, and me. Luis Felipe, who drove us to the Salt Cathedral and also showed us around the town of Zipaquira, was incredibly knowledgeable about all things Colombian and very friendly. Andreas, who took us on the tour of the Salt Cathedral, was also very kind and had a deep understanding of all aspects of the cathedral. Both took great care to ensure we all had a wonderful day, and our whole group agreed it was our favorite day in Colombia.

Excellent experiences in Bogotá. - We went in July 2025, my family with children 20 and 22 years old. Excellent Service. We made the transfers airport/hotel, hotel/airport and the guided tour to the Sal Cathedral. They were extremely professional and punctual. Louis and Alejandro are very polite and have a lot of general culture, making our experience in Bogotá very rich and interesting. We highly recommend!

A great day out. - Luis was a fantastic guide. He picked us up from our hotel and shared his knowledge whilst we drove to the Salt Cathedral. Luis then guided us around the Cathedral and used his experience to avoid the crowd which meant we had a more private tour. It was a great day topped off by a visit to Andres Carne de Res which Luis organised for us. Would recommend!

Take a tour and feel like you are with your good friend. - Our tour with Luis was the best! He made us feel like family that was visiting his hometown. Luis passion for all things Colombia shines through. At the cathedral he handed us to Andres who was an expert on the cathedral and the surrounding area. You could spend hours upon hours here. So much to see and enjoy. We appreciated the personal tour learning about the sculptors and the meaning and significance of the cross and how it changed in each station. Stop and enjoy a cup of coffee too.

Terrific Tour - I highly recommend Bogota Driver Guide Service with Luis Felipe. His knowledge, experience and love for Colombia was fantastic. He was terrific discussing history with us and putting together pieces from other tours. We love to ask questions. His car and driving were superb especially given the traffic in Bogota.
My friend and I had some "challenges" completely of our own making and he helped us solve them with a smile and total understanding.
The guide he planned for us at the Salt Cathedral was perfect. The Salt Cathedral is really amazing and so unique. A must if you are in Bogota.
Luis Felipe arranged for us to go to dinner at Andres Carnes on the way back to Bogota. What a fun place. The food and drinks were good too.
Overall, it was a terrific day and really appreciated Luis Felipe taking care of us.
