Great experience! - I recently went on this tour to Salt Cathedral in Zipaquira and had a great experience. Ginna was a great guide, explaining in great detail all of the sites. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and very accommodating to everyone on the tour. I'll definitely look them up next time I'm in Bogota to go on another one of their tours.
