Awesome driver, great trip! - Our driver Jose spoke great English and was very personable. The lake and surrounding forest is beautiful. Please know that all visitors to the lake are only allowed to travel as a group with a guide: The tour is in Spanish only so we felt trapped occasionally. It would be lovely if they let non Spanish speakers roam freely or have audio tours in multiple languages. Still, we loved this trip.

Perfect trip with Jorge to Guatavita - I really enjoyed whole day trip to Guatavita with small stop for a local drink, coffee and snack. But the best was attitude of Jorge (driver) and possibility to talk with him about all topics related with Colombia.

AMAZING TOUR! - This company is AMAZING! Jorge was an EXCELLENT driver! They can pick you up at your hotel or Airbnb, and you can customize what you want to do in Colombia. I did the salt mines of Nemocón and the Guatavita lake. I would most definitely do this tour again!

Friendly tour guides and amazing excursion! - My wife and I booked a full day tour with Jorge and Nubia. We first went to "La Candelaria" (Bogota Old town), were we visited "La Plaza de Bolivar". Then we went to the "Museo del Oro" and walk around the city to see it's fascinating colonial architecture. We stopped to eat at one of the oldest restaurants in the city "La Puerta Falsa" (Delicious Colombian Food!). We then went to "Monserrate", one of the highest mountain peaks in the City with breath-taking views of Bogota (one of my favorites spots!) and finished doing some local shopping. We really had a great time getting to know Bogota...but the best part of all was having such great tour guides. Jorge and Nubia really went above and beyond to accommodate our requests (it ended being a fully customized tour) and made us feel so welcome. They really resembled the friendliness and amiability of the Latin culture and they made our tour so much fun! I highly recommend them if you want to have an unforgettable experience touring Bogota!

Overall it was a good experience - Experience was good, the driver was on time and planned everything perfectly. But there are two points which I need to highlight: 1)Driver did not speak English, even though in Viator, I had selected the language as English.I believe this is a problem on Viator side...not sure. 2)We could not visit Guataviota town and Museum as it was late :(

A good day out to the Laguna de Guatavita - Trip was good and the driver cum guide was very nice and helpful.Only disappointment was that we could not visit the museum as it was late and it was supposed to be a half day trip only.
