Beautiful site, overpriced experience

Lauren_H, Jan 2025
The Salt Cathedral itself is amazing, but the value of the ticket does not make sense. I realized there are many other tours that offer food drinks and/or other site visits for much less money. We only received a small bottle of water, a ride to and from the Salt Cathedral, and the tickets. I would look for a better value in the future.

Great trip to the Zipaquira Salt Cathedral

I had a wonderful trip to the Zipaquira Salt Cathedral. My driver, Angel was so wonderful. Being a solo traveler, I am always leery about day tours but I had such a great time and I had no worries whatsoever.

Interesting Tour in Bogota's Historical District

Cristian was an excellent guide and took us around the historical area, not only showing us the street art but talking about the artist and the meaning behind their work. It gave a lot of context about how the art relates to the history of Colombia.

Pierre Moise Was Great

This tour was amazingly beautiful. My guide, Alexander was so lovely, knowledgeable and so keen to share all historic facts about Colombia that this tour to the beautiful Zipaquira Catedral could not be more complete. He answered all my questions and gave me a full insider experience of Bogota. The best way to make the most of the Colombian culture and history. Thank you so much.

Hermoso
