Gem of an excursion
Great little side trip out of the city! The driver came and picked us up in a comfortable van and prior to heading to the cathedral, we quickly perused the surrounding town square and got complementary coffee and tea. The cathedral itself was breathtaking -- with many installations on display without feeling like a daunting museum visit. Our guide Rodrigo was a true pro, effortlessly switching between Portuguese and English to contextualize what we were seeing in an approachable and understandable way. Following the tour, we were taken to a restaurant with delicious local cuisine (our expense) and kitschy decor. Overall, a great time! Bonus props to the driver Andres who went out of his way to pick me up and drop me off in locations far from the city centre and hotels. Only drawback was that the tour ended later than expected due to Bogotá's traffic, so please keep this in mind.
I didn't know an excursion could be so fun ♥
Milena and Jefferson were the best hosts. You can tell the passion and dedication they put into these tours and we had a wonderful time. Everything was super entertaining, and the group was quite dynamic and fun. 10/10 ask for Milena! One single suggestion for the team in charge, perhaps it is something you can include in the Viator confirmations: It would be good to know that we will receive the driver's information and pickup time via WhatsApp the night before the excursion. This provides security to the person booking and avoids moments of uncertainty.
Amazing Tour
The trip was worth every cent. Perfect weather, great scenery, DRIVER & TOUR GUIDE WERE FUN
A day to remember
As a new arrival in Columbia I decided to take this tour and experience something of great cultural and spiritual significance in Columbia. The Salt Cathedral is a ‘must see. ’ The hours below ground in this amazing architecture and atmosphere are inspiring. Our guide Rodrigo and driver Camino were exactly right for the nine hour adventure: knowledgable, fun, relaxed to be with and so open about life in Colombia. Thank you.
Great tour, thanks Rodrigo!
Highly recommend! Our tour guide was Rodrigo; he picked us up 5 mins before our meeting time (which I prefer), and made a great effort to get to know all of us and memorize our names. He was very knowledgeable, well informed, and witty. Be prepared to walk a lot, as touring the Cathedral of Salt took about two hours total. The service at the restaurant he took us to wasn’t that great to be honest— food was good, but the server kept forgetting our orders. It was also really weird they pretty much forced us to take a picture after that bad service; some of us flat out said no. Otherwise, highly recommend! :)
