It was excellent because I had an awesome driver and guide. I wonder why you must write a minimum number of words when one sums it's up
Excellent!! Very friendly, helpful and respectful. Very knowledgeable too!! And the spectacular place. 100% recommended everything!
A must see! Amazing feat of art and architecture. Our guide John got us there in about an hour and gave us interesting and useful information. He also allowed us to go at our own pace and showed us a great place for lunch after the tour.
Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable. Took us to a good restaurant after the salt cathedral. Easy drive back and forth to our hotel
We highly recommend Jhon as a tour guide. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great day and cannot wait to use him again as a tour guide.
Amazing trip great tour guide professional friendly helpful one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen so far I recommend it
You will be driven there and back by someone with subpar English skills. There is no private tour. The driver was nice. Its just not worth the price when you could get an Uber to and from for half the price.
Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para compartir su experiencia. Lamentamos que el servicio no haya cumplido con sus expectativas. Es importante aclarar que este tour privado incluye transporte exclusivo ida y regreso desde Bogotá hacia la Catedral de Sal, tal como se describe en el producto. El servicio no incluye guianza privada dentro de la mina, ya que la entrada a la Catedral ya incluye guía oficial, audio guía y acompañamiento de personal especializado en el recorrido interno del lugar. Nuestro objetivo es brindar una experiencia cómoda y segura en el trayecto, y agradecemos que haya destacado la amabilidad del conductor. Tomamos nota de su observación sobre el nivel de inglés y continuaremos trabajando para mejorar nuestros estándares de servicio. Gracias por ayudarnos a seguir creciendo.
Great driver. Was professional throughout and had a prompt pickup from the site. Overall was a good experience to the Salt Cathedral.
Jhon was a terrific driver and guide throughout my trip, including to the Catedral. Prompt, professional, and (luckily for me) fluent in English. Highly recommended for tours in the Bogota area.
We had an amazing experience visiting the Salt Cathedral with Jhon as our private guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared so many interesting facts about Bogotá and the surrounding area. Going with a private driver is absolutely the way to go—it let us skip the crowds and make the most of our day. We were able to return to Bogotá with plenty of time left for more sightseeing. Highly recommend!
