Review of Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral group tour from Bogotá, with pickup, bilingual guides, town visit, lunch, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Everything was very well organised, and the van was clean and comfortable. Queries beforehand were responded to immediately. Our guide, Sergio, spoke perfect English and put people at their ease as soon as they embarked, creating a convivial atmosphere for the whole day. Sergio was particularly knowledgeable, and willing to answer questions on any subject. The trip was very interesting and we highly recommend it. The coffee shop on the way there and the lunch stop on the way back were both good.”

Review of a private Bogotá trip to Zipaquirá’s Salt Cathedral, with transport, local food, town time, costs, guides, and practical tips.

“Our driver was José and he was great—he sent a photo of his vehicle, himself and license plate number via WhatsApp so he took our safety seriously. He drove us to the salt cathedral and gave very clear explanation on where to go, what package tour to purchase and where to meet him when we were finished. The audio guide tour was great because we were not crowded by all the people in an organized tour and could look around at our own pace. José dropped us off at a restaurant and made recommendations for trying a Colombian dish for lunch. He was very pleasant and we were in good…”

“This was a great excursion. We only had a couple days in Bogota and we wanted to explore some natural sights outside the city. It was a long day but we packed so much in it was well worth it. We met some lovely friends along the way and Diego our guide was amazing and well informed and had answers to all the questions we asked. Jairo our driver was excellent weaving around the confusing streets and stopping when folks wanted to take pics along the way etc. Such a lovely excursion, highly recommend :)”

“Passeio maravilhoso. A Catedral do Sal realmente é um lugar diferenciado e vale a pena a experiência de conhecê-la. Apesar disso, tenho a certeza de que o motorista Jorgio e o guia Leonardo (que falava português, minha língua), pessoas alegres, atenciosas, com muito conhecimento, foram fundamentais para o encantamento que tive com o passeio”

“An incredibly soulful experience that's rather unique. I'm far from religious but exploring this vast underground church and stations of the cross felt deeply timeless and spiritual. Ancient and beautiful, the salt cathedral is remarkable regardless of your religious background. The tour was wonderfully comfortable, with a punctual hotel pickup, relaxing ride and delicious lunch in the nearby interesting town of Zipaquira and three to four hours to explore the salt mine marvel. Our tour guide was so polite and amiable, explaining everything with great detail. Rent the English audio guide with headphones, it's fantastic! I'm so grateful I took this tour for their knowledge and planning of thi...”

“Andrea guide and Wilson driver were fabulous! This is an absolute must tour when in Bogota. The Salt Cathedral is amazing as is the shopping there. The town of Zipaquira is beautiful and charming. If you're luck the old church in town will be open so you can see how beautiful it is inside. Lunch in town was incredible. Fabulous local food soups and meats. Insider tip: stop at the Café on the Plaza in town to buy some Tres Leches cake!!!!!”
