Luis picked us up from our Chapinero hotel for a visit to Zipaquirá. Arrived on time and communicated well in advance of the trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversation there and back - about life in Bogota and futbol of course. We would certainly contact Luis for future travels to Bogota. Recommend him 100 %.
Luis is a very friendly, excellent guide. He made the drive to/from the Salt Cathedral very comfortable and smooth for our group of four. Luis shared lots of facts during the drive about Bogota, Colombia in general, and what to expect at the Salt Cathedral. It is clear he loves what he does very much. I would highly recommend his services during your time in Colombia.
Fantastic experience. Louis is very knowledgeable and his English is really good . He was very accommodating to us and we had a good time
We booked Luis for a ride to Salt Cathedral and he was so good! He told us a bit about the history of Colombia and had a smooth drive! He was friendly, on time and always available for any questions! 100% recommended!
Completely happy with our transfers airport/hotel/airport in Bogota and the visit to Zipaquira. Luis Felipe and his brother Armando were punctual and very professional. Provided a lot of relevant information and made us feel welcomed. Highly recommend their services.
We had the pleasure of traveling with Luis from Bogotá to Zipaquirá, with a stop at Andrés Carne de Res on the way back to our hotel in Bogotá. Luis deserves a full 5/5 stars! The car was comfortable, and his driving was smooth and safe. Luis was incredibly friendly, open-minded, and shared so much fascinating information about the country and its people during the journey. We asked him countless questions, and he always had an insightful answer. He even took care of making our restaurant reservation for us. If you’re visiting Bogotá and need a driver for day trips or even just to get around the city, we highly recommend Luis. His English is excellent, making communication effortless. An outstanding experience overall!
My mom and I had the opportunity to book this service to Zipaquira's Catedral de Sal and had a wonderful time. I can tell Luis is very knowledgeable as well as passionate about his work. Based on this experience we are looking forward to coming back to Colombia and explore other destinations such as Medellin.
Had an amazing tour with Luis, great communication from reaching out to him, before pickup and great conversation during the drive while he pointed out & we discussed things along the way to the Catedral. Being from different countries we engaged in discussions of our current events & focused on Colombia as much as possible. I really didn't have a game plan, just a free day so he offered other things along the way and a little off our path. I look forward to my next journey with him, maybe even in another city.
We found Luis through Viator for a private driver to the Salt Cathedral 1.5 hour drive outside of Bogota. He was extremely proactive with communication ahead of time and arrived early to pick us up at our hotel. While we only hired him for the drive, we were treated to an amazing overview of the history of Columbia, Bogota and the entire South American region. He had an awesome personality and made the 3 hours of travel seem much shorter. We would highly recommend Luis and his company for anyone wishing to travel to and learn about this amazing country!
Luis was an amazing driver. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Would recommend him to anyone who needs a ride. The salt cathedral was beautiful words can't explain it fully.
Luis was an amazing tour guide! He was very patient and knowledgeable about the history of Colombia. He made sure we were comfortable at all times throughout the tour and was extremely accommodating. Luis made this tour very exciting for us and had answers to all our questions. We highly recommend you take this tour! Luis will not disappoint!
We did a day trip with Luis to the salt cathedral and it was so much fun. He helped us with getting our tickets and gave us a lot of great info on the ride there. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Bogota!
We used this company for both an airport transfer and car service to the Salt Cathedral and Andres Carne de Res Restaurant. It was our first time in Colombia and Luis was at the airport on time with a clearly marked sign. He helped us with our bags and showed us where to buy a SIM card. Since we don’t speak Spanish, he was kind enough to park his car and escort us into our AirBnb building and helped us communicate with the front door staff, which we really appreciated. The next day, Luis drove us to the Salt Cathedral and also to Andres Carne de Res restaurant in Chia. He was very professional, spoke English well, and was patient with our young children. Overall, I highly recommend Luis and we had a very smooth and pleasant trip.
Great transfer service to Salt Cathedral, while a bit expensive, they did a great job. It's a short drive (1,5 hours) but it was made easy and pleasant thanks to the driver. Luis was excellent, very courteous and helpful.
What a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm not religious at all, but this is a special place. Put aside the religious significance of the place and you still have a wonderful location to visit. Our driver had to wait an extra hour for us as our tour went a little longer than previously expected, but the driver was very professional and nice about the additional wait time. I would recommend these guys to anyone looking for a transfer in Bogota.
Luis was on time & very courtesy. He's available on whatapp & response quickly. He also speak English every well. Highly recommend, especially if you don't speak any Spanish like us.
This is an excellent professional services from young entrepreneurs that speak five languages. Very nice car, well maintained, and flexible tour schedule with plenty of opportunity for customization. I highly recommend this tour and transport company.
Highly recommended! Punctual, good driving and very knowledgeable of Bogota and Colombian culture. We had a great time!
We as a family had a blast with the services of this company. The guide, Luis Felipe was very attentive to every detail and the whole family was appreciative of his dedication and attention to detail. They are flexible and accomodate the agenda providing a very personalized Tour Service. Highly recommended.
Luis Felipe was our driver but also our guide. We were going to be in the outskirts of Bogotá all day and from there directly to the airport. He helped us coordinate schedules, gave us advice, and told us a lot about the culture, the people, the history, and the places in that wonderful country. It was lucky to have met him.
Punctuality. Quality of transportation. Good knowledge of the guide. Availability to adapt to our time.
We had a great experience. The guide, Luis Felipe, provided us with a lot of information about the tour and also the local culture. Besides also very friendly and having a good chat. I highly recommend.
Luis Felipe and his brother are excellent. Super friendly people, flexible to changes, without rushing, with a lot of knowledge of everything about Bogotá. I travel a lot and I must admit that this was the best tour guide we have had to date. He also gave me the City Tour which was SPECTACULAR. Recommended 200%
I found the salt cathedral a visit of the most interesting, a different thing in terms of religious monument. The big ships are breathtaking. It is worth seeing though it is about 40 minutes from Bogotá.
I have returned to Bogota since on my last visit I needed time to get to know more of this charming city. I contacted Alejandro and Luis again as their Service is excellent! Today I must recommend not only Bogota Driver Guide once again, but this wonderful tour of the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral. This magical place, unique in the world, an unforgettable tour that should make every tourist who comes to visit this beautiful country.
Since November 16th we have been travelling in Peru, Chile and Colombia. Without a doubt the best experience was in Colombia. Friend Alejandro Ramirez made our stay a spectacular one. Mr. Alejandro kept an eye on us not only during our trip to the Cathedral of Salt in Zipaquirá, but also turned a bad experience that unfortunately we had into an Air b&b we had in just a bad time passing. That's when we realized this friend wouldn't let us have a bad time in his great country. We have no words. Me and my little friend travel companion and son, to thank the warmth and great treatment of Alejandro and also his brother Luis. Thank you a thousand!!!! Definitely a 5-star VIP Service.... We'll never forget them...
RECOMMENDATION I must confess that traveling alone always generates a little insecurity for you as a woman, however, I had the great opportunity to find Luis Felipe on my way. He gave me a tour of one of the most spectacular places in Colombia "Zipaquirá Salt Mine". The respect and chivalry of Luis F. made me feel very safe throughout the tour, in addition to his extensive knowledge in history and culture of his country... So much so that I planned to stay only a couple of weeks in Colombia and thanks to their advice, I risked staying for a while longer and have met other cities. Thank you very much Luis Felipe, good vibe!!
