This was a perfect getaway to see a beautiful wonder. The trip from start to finish was safe, provided practical information while driving to Zapaquira and the Cathedral of Salt. There were a couple treats and places to do some shopping. Christiam, our driver and host was great. He communicated even though he didn’t speak English through an app and was hospital and gracious.
Highly recommended. Cristhiam was an amazing guide & very helpful. The salt cathedral is so unique, it was stunning & it was great to see a different town & have lunch in an authentic restaurant (vegetarian food available).
Excellent service, Alexander is a very good host.
Aleksander was a good guide. Thank you for everything.
Our guide Alexander was great and very helpful.
Had an amazing time with our guide Chisthiam and transportation was super convenient. Learned a lot about the history of Zipaquirá, the salt mines, and the lunch spot had amazing food, live music, and great service.
The tour to the Salt Cathedral was very well organized and informative. Our guide, Cristhiam, was knowledgeable about Bogota and Zirpaquira. The Salt Cathedral was amazing (fyi the entrance fee was separate). We were provided audio devices that provided information, in your chosen language, about the salt mines, Cathedral and the different stations, of which there were 22, going down 600 feet. We were then provided a tour of the town of Zirpaquira, a lovely historic town, and a wonderful traditional lunch, extra fee required, in a local restaurant closed out the tour.
Cristhiam did an excellent job explaining the area of Zipaquira and allowed us to take our time walking around. His recommendations for food and shopping were great as well. Highly recommend!
Excellent service. Very attentive.
The tour was amazing. The audio in English was easy to use. This place is huge and I was able to stay ahead of a large tour group. Took lots of pictures. Gift shops at the end were affordable and I purchased a few items.
