Fabulous Bogota Day-Long Experience - Camilla was a great guide and each site was fabulous. We were especially impressed with her guiding us through the wonderful Botero Museum. She is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The trip included a cable car to the top of the impressive Monserrate mountain facility and the magnificent Salt Cathedral and other sites in Bogota. The driver and Camila were kind and so helpful.

Bogota Fantastic Experience - My daughter fell down some stairs night before the tour and sprained her ankle. I was going to leave her in the hotel the day of the tour. But Juliana, our tour guide, told us that Monserrate and the Salt Cathedral had wheelchairs and that she would help us. So my daughter was able to enjoy the day with us. It was not tool easy to wheel my daughter around in a wheelchair but Juliana was there to help us. What a trooper!!! Great service and we are so grateful that my daughter saw these places. We would not been able to do so without Juliana. She even helped us purchase a boot and crutches. So so grateful!! Will never forget you Juliana. The driver, Guilermo, was also fantastic. He would always check on my daughter. These two were so thoughtful. Cannot ask for anything more.

Great way to hit the high points in Bogotá when you don’t have multiple days in the city - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. He took great care of us, and the driver did a great job moving us around to see the different sites.

Full day tour - This tour included the Salt Cathedral, Mount Monserrate, La Candelaria, Gold Museum, and traditional Colombian lunch. The driver and tour guide, Emilio and Esteban were prompt for pickup and very knowledgeable about the history and tradition of Bogota and Colombia. This tour was the most inclusive of the tours that I found on the website. My wife and I only had one day and this was the most accommodating tour for our limited time. The individual attractions speak for themselves and should most definitely be experienced while in Bogota. If you are lucky, you may get Emilio and Esteban to accompany you. My wife loved that Esteban was more than willing to help with her Spanish as a second language. He is also fluent in English as well.

great tour of bogota and area - the gold museum and place Bolivar were special but the most amazing part of the day was the salt cathedral many other parts of the day were memorable such as the lunch before the salt cathedral and the market on 7th avenue. the funicular at monseratt was also special with great view of the city All day the guide worked hard to be sure i had a good experience the driver had lots of traffic to deal with and does his job well. this was a lot to see in one day but that was what i was looking. for many people might want to split this into two days. Thank you Larry

Salt Cathedral in Zipaquira - The Salt Cathedral was an incredible experience We went independently on public transport from Bogota ( 4 buses) and purchased our ticket on the day at the site.The audio guide was informative and easy to operate.We spent at 2 hours exploring the cathedral.Afterwards we spent time in the pretty traditional town of Zipaquira where there are lots of places to eat and drink.

Needs improvement - The tour guide was pleasant but difficult to understand. We understood half of what she said which wasn’t much. The driver was excellent.
