That was one of the best tours we ever had in our lives! Andres is an extremely knowledgeable guide who not only provided all information about the Salt Cathedral, but also told us many very interesting things about the history, culture and economy of Colombia. We enjoyed every single minute of this tour and strongly recommend to everybody who is considering to visit Bogota

We did a private tour with Andres. He is a very knowledgeable guide, well spoken and helpful. The logistics coordination was easy with Andres getting in touch via WhatsApp to confirm pickup time and location. He also went out of his way to help us figure out our NYE plans. Great experience!

I had a great tour, pickup was right on time, and my guide, Rosita, was bilingual, super friendly and knowledgeable. Driver, Felipe, was great and safe as well. I would recommend. Thanks for filling my layover with fun and interesting things to do!

Guide Milena was sensational, met us at the hotel. Driver with car arrived later. Church tour is very good, and the guide explained all the details.

A unique experience. Very exciting. It's really worth knowing
