Estevan was amazing and quite knowledgeable with the important landmarks in Zipaquirra and other places along the way. He’s quite considerate with everybody’s concerns as well. Would definitely recommend!

Estevan was a great guide, very knowledgeable and accommodating. The salt cathedral is a must see, the tour was very nice and afterwards I got a short tour of Zipaquira. I ended up having a private tour as no one else joined on that day and it was great, We departed and arrived according to the schedule and the drive there and back was also smooth despite the heavy traffic.
