My husband and I have nothing, but the best to say about Edgar and his team. When we arrived in Bogotá, it was stressful the moment we landed. The reason for this, we were receiving our dog, Buster (11.5 years old), via Amsterdam. Edgar sent German (who is his right hand man in Bogotá), German went above and beyond any service we expected. German waited multiple hours with me and our luggage, while my husband was frantically running around customs department trying to get Buster. Then, after resting in Bogotá for a week, German was the man again, who drove us to Medellin because we did not want to fly with Buster. German was so nice to Buster and stopped for him to walk, pee and eat as often as we wanted! German was not worried about time at all, he was concerned with ours and Buster’s comfort. Thank you so much. We appreciate all that was done! Highly recommend this company! A+++

Lizeth Beltran is the very best....she is so well read, knows about architecture, history, coffee, food, world news, everything. We had great talks, showed us around more than we expected. Was very sweet, patient because one of our group could not walk fast or for so long and she really was flexible to our needs. She took us to try the best coffee in La Candelaria, and we tried the best buñuelos, you have got to try them.. But mostly you have to ask for Lizeth to take you around. We had so much fun. I think this tour was great when you only have two days in Bogota. So the first day we went to the cathedral of salt in Zipaquira, and the lagoon close by. For our second day we chose this tour which took us to Monserrate, Museum of Gold, Botero Museum, walk around down town, and La candelaria, and got to see the beautiful graffiti art. This tour was great to see all we needed to see before leaving.

4. Salt Cathedral Zipaquira - Group tour and daily departure
Overall Ratings

One of the must-do in Colombia is the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá. This wonderful place, located just over an hour from Bogota, was chosen in 2007 as the First Wonder of Colombia. The design of the spaces inside the mine, the decoration, the lighting, the artistic pieces and the fact of being traveling a space nestled in the mountains, make this an unique and unforgettable experience. You also visit the town to take some pictures and then return to Bogotá. If this were not enough, the trip to and from Zipaquirá will be with a beautiful landscape of our plateau, which will certainly make your day something simply magical. Skip lines and visit more than the cathedral with us.
