Muy satisfecho y mucha amabilidad con mi guia William González, muy puntual y considerado
Excelente tour, super recomendados
Our driver Jon was very helpful and knowledgeable. He was extremely informative as well as supportive of our needs especially traveling with our 90 year old grandma. we were a group of 7 and very much enjoyed this tour. I wish we could've have more time at Zipaquira as it is just an enchanting town. We would def recommend this tour!
Actividad muy buena , el conductor fue muy amable con nosotros.
La visita a la Catedral de la mina fue espectacular. Sin duda algo extraordinario. Increíble su diseño, historia y belleza natural. Por cierto, nuestro guía Cristian fue muy amable y diligente con nosotros; siempre atento a nuestras necesidades. Nos explicó la historia de Zipaquirá y de sus alrededores. Sin duda recomiendo ampliamente la experiencia y si les toca Cristian de guía, la van a pasar excelente en su aventura. Gracias
It was an excellent day! Jhovanny is very knowledgeable and clearly enjoys his work and the places he tours. He was able to tell us about many places and about some history and culture as we drove through Bogota and to Zipaquira. The Salt Cathedral was interesting and beautiful. I really enjoyed the Madonnas. Lunch afterwards was ok. The flavor was good, though the potato needed more salt (ironic) and the meat was overcooked for my taste, but I find this to be true in many places. Thank you Jhovanny!
The driver is on time very courteous He waited for me to find me spending some extra time at the salt mine looking at all the marvelous creations and the shops He took me to the city of Zipaquira so I can visit the old cathedral, the town Square and see some of the old streets. The drive was a little bit longer than I expected due to traffic, but overall everything went really really well I enjoyed this tour tremendously and the soul. Mine is the mask for anybody that come to Bogota.
David is a wonderful tour guide and shared many interesting facts during the tour and was very flexible in meetings the needs of our group. He interacted wonderfully with our grandkids and made them feel very included by entertaining and answering their many questions. We never felt stressed or rushed during the tour. A great experience!!!
