Estimado Rodrigo, Muchas gracias por tomarse el tiempo de compartir su experiencia. Me alegra saber que valoró la puntualidad, la comodidad del transporte y el conocimiento compartido durante su visita a la Catedral de Sal de Zipaquirá. Aprecio especialmente su comentario sobre la flexibilidad del servicio.

Creo que las mejores excursiones son aquellas que permiten disfrutar cada lugar sin prisas innecesarias y con la tranquilidad de contar con una logística bien organizada.

Enjoyable and safe trip to Zipaquira.

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 %.

Operator response

Hello Barbara, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly a pleasure meeting you and your husband and sharing that day together in Zipaquira. I’m really glad you felt safe and comfortable throughout the experience—that’s always a top priority for me. I also enjoyed our conversations just as much; talking about life in Bogota and fútbol made the journey feel very natural and personal. My goal is always to provide a flexible, private experience at your own pace, not just transportation. I’ll be more than happy to assist you again on your next visit to Bogota. From Luis Felipe, muchas gracias queridos amigos! 🇺🇸🇨🇴

Wonderful Trip to the Salt Cathedral

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.

Outstanding Driver and Guide in Bogotá

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.

My new go to guide for Colombia

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.

Operator response

Hi Jerry, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure sharing the day with you and discussing everything from Colombia’s rich history to current events. I’m glad we could make the most of your free day and explore some extra spots along the way to the Salt Cathedral. I truly appreciate your trust, and I look forward to our next adventure, whether in Bogota or beyond! From Luis Felipe, ¡muchas gracias amigo! 🇺🇸🇨🇴🇺🇸🇨🇴🇺🇸
