Do not miss this incredible tour! - I wouldn’t change a thing! Everything was really well organized, and the hike to the lagoon along with the information on the indigenous community was educational. The Salt Cathedral was breathtaking, and very calming and fulfilling. Highly recommend!

Beautiful landscapes, lots of history and much to discover. - It is the best experience to get to know two wonderful tourist places close to Bogotá in a single day. Thanks to the guide Nestor for always being attentive to us and teaching us a lot of useful information throughout the tour, the driver Miguel was very funny and also did very well.

Great spots of tranquility, ancient and modern history with an excellent guide - I am very glad that I signed up for the tour. Seeing the Colombian countryside alone was worth it, but our guide (Nestor) and driver were awesome. Nestor explained everything the Guatavita guide explained to the group in Spanish, which was essential as my Spanish is limited. The sights themselves were amazing. The lagoon was one of the most incredible sights I've seen and the salt cathedral was quite amazing display of . The restaurant we stopped at was good, had great atmosphere and Colombian food. Thank you again Nestor for showing us around!

Escape from a highly recommended day - Day tour from Bogota. Highly recommended to discover the surroundings of the city. The experience was very complete and safe. We also have the company of Camilo as driver and Camilo as guide who were great and helped us with everything and entertained the camido during the 13h we were away. We recommend the experience with them without a doubt! Thanks for everything!

Guatavita and Salt Cathedral - It was very fun and interesting. It was frustrating because the tour at the Cathedral was in Spanish, so we purchased a walking tour handset so we could listen in English. However, the handset only talked about the religious aspects (stations of the cross) while the tour guide gave much more information about the mines and how they were built, history,etc.
