Get Outta Town - Andrés was a phenomenal guide who is an experience unto himself. He seemed to know just about everyone (possibly from having done the tour so many times himself!), which certainly has its perks. He adds a personal flair to the whole tour and is flexible with regards to not rushing anyone and really emphasizing that living in the moment is more important than getting on to the next locale. The tour itself is a phenomenal bargain, as it covers 3 of the most fantastic sites just outside of Bogota, and gives you a flavor of life in Colombia outside of the big city, which to our knowledge was not done by any other tour company. You can get the individual locations or maybe 2 of them, but doing all 3 in one trip is unique. Guatavita Lagoon was an excellent reprieve for us in terms of getting outside of Bogota and really breathing in the fresh air that the country has as you get away from the pollution of the city. Highly recommend bringing a good amount of water if you're not used to the elevation; however, it's important to note it can only be in Glass Bottles or some type of Reusable container. Single Use Plastics are forbidden in the park. The hike itself is about 2 miles, over half of which is up hill, but there are a decent number of opportunities to take breaks, and there were certainly folks in their 70s doing the hike. It's also a one-way hike as when you get to the end there's transport to either take you back to the entry point or in our case, Andrés was there to ferry us to the next destination. The Cathedral of Salt was a fascinating architectural feat. We're not religious people, so could have done less with that and more on the engineering of the mine itself. Having said that it was impressive in any case. For a tour hack, you could skip past most of the cathedral and go straight to the Commercial Zone of the mine and check out the Salt Spa at De Sal (it's through a door behind their check-out counter). We didn't know about it until we got down, but would have likely opted for a massage or something had we known ahead of time. Riding on a Thomas the Tank Engine train out of the mine and back up to the parking lot where we started, was a cherry on top! Moving onto Andrés Carne de Res (Chía) it was nothing short of a feast for the senses. The place is like no other restaurant I've ever encountered. Everywhere you look has some level of visual interest. Apparently every person that ever works there is expected to offer something to the restaurant, and it certainly shows. There's custom works of art in every corner/crevice of the compound. I say compound because it's at least 3 different structures which can host upwards of ~7500 people. The food was phenomenal but you almost certainly should look at the menu ahead of time, because it's dozens of pages long. Andrés was kind enough to make recommendations in the face of overwhelming choices while also working with a few options we had found ahead of time. Was also the fastest restaurant service we had had in Colombia while we were there. Taken altogether, I cannot recommend this tour more than I have. It's well worth the money and makes for an incredibly memorable day trip outside Bogota. Treat yo'self!

A wonderful experience and better support to discover a great wonder of Colombia. - I went with my mother to Zipaquira. From the beginning to the end of our experience we received excellent service from Andrés, he accompanied us and it was a great way to know this great wonder. I can recommend Andrés to anyone who wants to visit Bogota and its surroundings safely.

Mina de Sal, Andres Carne de Res and Laguna de Guatavita - 3 in 1! - Great tour they organized for us, very easy to schedule, punctual pickup, the guide Andre Quintero has clear information, he is very attentive, paying attention to everything during the tour. You go calmly because you have everything resolved and you are just going to enjoy the landscape, the history, and learn a little more about the culture. Highly recommended

The best experience of our life - I remember that day with our guide Santiago taught us how we could maximize our time for future experiences in Bogota. Now in relation to the experience, they were super punctual and were also always very attentive to our needs in the middle of the trip. The Guatavita lagoon was beautiful, the salt mine was simply incredible, and Andres carne de res was a magical place for my girlfriend and me. This experience really was something just perfect👌 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING SANTIAGO. a hug

Unforgettable Experience  - It is an unforgettable experience, the tour began in Guatavita, a magical place with a lot of history, a beautiful lake and very helpful people. Then we arrived at the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, it is an incredible city, with a wonder beneath its streets, I was able to see one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen and they have a variety of shops right there. Finally we entered the famous restaurant "Andrés Carne de res", a very native place in Colombia, where you can enjoy delicious cuisine and be able to live special moments of this beautiful culture, Andrés was my guide and he always had a very friendly attitude, he´s a natural photographer and was really kind all the time... It really is a unique experience, full of beautiful places... I would repeat it a thousand times!

Andres is a very nice person, he makes sure everything is fine at all times, not to mention the very comfortable ride they gave us. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bogota for more than 1 day!

Beautiful experience - Gustavo and Andres were incredible guides for this experience! I knew it was going to be fun, however, I didn't expect how culturally and historically enriching the experience was going to be. He was relaxed, knowledgeable and exceptionally planned. I personally loved the lagoon, I didn't expect it to be more than just sightseeing, but I was pleasantly surprised to fall in love with the history behind this spiritual place. Don't hesitate to book this experience, it was worth every penny!
