Bogota Tour to Salt Cathedral and Guatavita lake! - This tour is amazing! You get to see two of the biggest attractions in Bogota in one day, you try loads of local food and drinks and the guide goes out of their way to show you as many local experiences as possible. My guide (Diego) was amazing, his English is fantastic, he is super friendly and he went above and beyond to make my trip as good as he could make it, he is very knowledgeable and is happy to answer loads of questions about anything in Colombia. Can definitely recommend this tour!

Best tour guide and driver in South America. - Our tour guide was so so knowledgeable and informative. She speaks good English and explained everything so thoroughly. Our driver was excellent too as he was so cautious and drove safely as we find the drivers there are a bit crazy😅😅they drive erratically .

Long day but worth it to see two amazing places ! - Great way to see both attractions in one trip. Food thru out was good. Diego, our Tour guide spoke English and explained each step of the day. Both locations were totally different. The hiking was a nice way to be outside in nature and the cathedral was such a unique experience. Would recommend !

Wonderful Day Out - This was a fantastic tour, Andrea was a fun and knowledgeable guide. I learned so much about the history of the region and the indigenous community. Hiking up the the lagoon was challenging due to the elevation but it was well worth it. The salt mine was cooler than I was anticipating. Overall great tour!

INCROYABLE - This time we only made the lagoon of Guatavita, but it was an incredible experience because my wife, my mother-in-law, my wife's father-in-law and I had a great time, Guide Lorena was an excellent Guide, the tour is very interesting, breakfast, lunch, absolutely everything was beautiful. The road to the Guatavita lagoon is stone but not difficult. The True Colombian Experience, thank you very much for this pleasant time with my French family. And the view is BEAUTIFUL.
