It has been a very fructuous visit, the construction of the cathédrale is so grandiose as it left us without words. The guide with whom we spend at least 3 hours was Great, his knowledge of the Columbia history is so GOOD. We recommend the tour with Freddy, the guide.

It's a long drive from Bogotá and of course the return too. I wouldn't recommend this unless you're traveling by it. However my driver was great - Germán H. . He was prompt, a good driver, offered various pieces of information along the trip, very professional and friendly.
I never thought it was going to be like that. Amazing experience and amazing place. 100% recommend. Its a must.
Amazing experience great German travel Guide super especial fully recommended would book again with eyes closed
German was a perfect bilingual driver fir us ...my husband practiced his spanish and we got a good idea of the countryside of Bogota. The salt cathedral is a must to visit ....it takes a good two hours with a guide and do t miss having coffee in the mines itself ! Great way to spend our last day in Bogota.

Impressive. Visited the town before the cathedral, very quaint!! Guide was excellent. Our driver was on time and very knowledgeable, and took us to a great restaurant.
It was a nice experience. We took our kids. It was something more for a grown up experience but the older kids could handle it. It was a bit too long for out toddler but if we go back to Bogota as a couple we would do it again.
It was very unique and an easy day trip from the center of Bogota. Our tour guide, German, was wonderful.
I did this tour on October 19, 2023. It was a good trip and I would highly recommend it. This tour felt like much better due to the tour guide “Sergio Paulo”, who explained each and everything in such a detail. He is Spanish and English speaking guide, very knowledgeable, always explain each and everything in detail, very passionate about his work, super helpful. He also went and beyond his job to help me find and book another excursion of “La Chorrera”. He is exceptionally good guy with positive attitude towards his work. Especially if you do not know Spanish and need English speaking guide, he is the best one. All the very best to him.
A must-see! I enjoyed every minute! If you have trouble walking, you may want to be prepared for the uneven grounds, but you won't regret it.
Cathedral of salt really fantastic I've never seen something like that in my life and I'm 70 years oldI'd I'd recommend this cuz you need to say it for yourself it's a shame that comes when you don't do tours to one place rather than two or three places they need to change it so that you can pick what you want to pick up what they want to pay me that's the only problem with this company
The guide was super on time to pick us in the hotel, one day before made a contact using Wzap msg and this made me very pleased and also gave me confident that everything will be gone all right. And it really was fine.
Adrian was very knowledgeable of the area. He was entertaining, respectful, courteous. We recommend him to anyone who use Viator tours in Bogota.
German was a great guide! The salt cathedral was beautiful. Would highly recommend it as a must do activity when in the Bogota area!
It is truly one of the wonders of Colombia, very worth the experience. I highly recommend the tour. Our guide Germán was excellent!! Always very inquisitive and taking us where we wanted, congratulations.
Recommended! Punctual and very good route. I'd definitely hire them back. They explain very well and the vehicle was clean
Very good Mr. German was very correct very good driver and provided us very interesting data All very well all our expectations were met Very happy with the service Thank you.
excellent personalized private tour a van just for us. the driver Very informed and friendly guide, punctual arrival at the hotel by comfortable car, reasonable price compared to other all inclusive agencies, the visit to the mine is extraordinary, unique place in the world, has lunch option typical Colombian food Tickets are purchased upon arrival without lines. I recommend 100
It was a very pleasant experience very punctual, private service in Tourist cart, the Driver Guide very knowledgeable and friendly, always willing to answer any questions when booking the information is clear. good quality and price.
I paid 150USD for two. Then I found out it doesn't include anything, just the driver. With Uber or taxi it costs half as much, save your money!!
Experiência única! A Catedral é esplêndida, cada escultura, cada ponto, uma sensação inexplicável. Ficamos Maravilhados com a beleza da Catedral! O guia Germán foi ótimo muito atencioso e prestativo.
Lugar muito bonito . Pra quem é da religião católica trás vários momentos memoraveis. Muito bom recomendo .
I loved the visit. Despite the hellish traffic in Bogotá, the salt mine is beautiful! Worth every second. The old town of Zipaquirá is beautiful! I think it was our best trip to Bogotá.
Sandra assisted us on the day of the tour, excellent service and knowledge of Bogota. The way from the hotel to the mine was long, however, Sandra made the path very easy. We really felt comfortable with her. He even took photos of the group.
Espectacular!! Es increíble lo que han hecho allí. Y nuestro conductor fantástico. Merece mucho la pena el tour
An extraordinary tour. We were lucky to have Germán as our guide. Very friendly, polite and knowledgeable about the history of Zipaquirá and the Cathedral of Sal. The Cathedral is in oreo la! An unforgettable experience. A mandatory visit if you go to Bogota. But better if you go on tour.
It is a guided tour, where they explain very well the process of extracting salt in underground mine and not from the sea, as I knew. The guide explains perfectly the operational process, dates, etc. Someone thought to transform the mine into a Catholic cathedral and make a paragon of the crossroads, placing crosses on different levels and if the mine’s undercut is deep, the guide notes that it is suffering from Christ, etc. This part is not achieved and is irrelevant, for my taste, and so on.
Highly recommended this tour this marvel of structure. Just stunning everything that has been built in Zipaquirá. The guide Rodolfo Ariza, very friendly and attentive at all times. Excellent guide
初めてガイド音声ツアーに参加しました。各言語の音声をgoogle翻訳によって機械音声で通訳するシステムで、今後広がってくるかもしれません。 ただし英語ースペイン語間は正確のようでしたが、日本語との翻訳は精度が低いので、英語等をある程度理解していないと理解しにくい部分もあります。(ですから、こちらのサイトには対応言語として日本語は書いていません。) ガイドさんはとても丁寧な対応をしてくださり、快適で効率的なツアーとなりました。タクシーではなく、ガイドであるため様々な解説があるのも良い点です。 また、フライトの都合で時間が限られた中、ジバキラ散策など、最大限に観光できる工夫をしてくれました。 内部には同行しませんが、こちらは英語の音声ガイドを借りて聞きながら自分で歩きますが、キリスト教に強い興味がなければ、必要ないかもしれません。(十字架がたくさんあり、それぞれの意味を説明してくれます。) 塩の教会は鉱山内に作られており、ゆっくり歩くと1時間半以上かかりますが、新鮮な体験ができてよいと思います。 列車でも行くことができますが、週末のみの運転、ジバキラ中心部へは行かないため、セットツアーを利用するか、路線バス等に乗り換えが必要なようです。
It has been a great tour, I am very satisfied and would recommend it to everyone, thank you very much for all very attentive and helpful driver and guide German very pendiate to answer all our questions
Sandra was Ena excellent hostess and very good guide. I recommend your services with good car and very good attention and talks He recommended us where to eat and it was a great hit. There are no bad words from this beautiful person
Very good personalized attention, a private tour and Mr. Hernan knows quite a lot about the area and its history
Excellent Service, 100% recommended. German is a wonderful guide and host, the comfort of a private tour for a family group is very important, and the walk to Zipaquira was really beautiful, it is a place that cannot be missed. Both the Service and the places visited far exceeded our expectations.
Excellent Service of the citytour agency Bogota the directions and accompaniment of the German Guide made it a magnificent experience Thank you very much I recommend them 100%
The wonderful tour, the very attentive guide, made us have a good day. Thank you very much I recommend
Magnificent place of easy access, excursion for the whole family, is a gentle walk inside a salt mine. It is considered the first wonder of Colombia. The cathedral and many of the sculptures that are there are completely in salt, it is a great work of engineering, a quick walk through the small main square of Zipaquirá great place to take photos and have lunch typical grill food. The guide of the city tour agency Bogota very knowledgeable of Colombian places and history, as well as being super friendly to tourists. I recommend them without hesitation.
The truth is that it is very nice the place, the history and everything it represents, however, you have to consider that if you travel with young children by car or people with wheelchairs, things become a little more complicated because the traffic is uncomfortable because the floor is irregular. We were charged a small percentage for a 1-year-old baby and I expected him to at least have a baby seat the transport car, which he did not. That really disappointed me!
A place with incredible energy , different and beautiful . Good to arrive early - 9h - as you take the Cathedral of Salt and avoid transit from Bogotá there (about 1h). Go with comfortable clothes, clothed and with tennis that does not slip. Inside there is a spa also right at the exit ... beautiful and clean - I was tempted but couldn't go!
