Recommended! - The tour was excellent. We leave punctually at the indicated time. Our guide Camilo explained interesting facts to us on the way to the Salt Cathedral. Then Marta met us for the tour inside the mine. The views and everything the mine contains are wonderful. A place without a doubt that must be visited. Then lunch and tour of the place with a little more history. We returned to Bogota on time.

I loved it 🥰 - Is awesome! Beautiful place and very nice energy. I did not have a guide on the tour but with the audio guide it was perfect, I controlled the pace. The guide and driver (Steven and Diego) are very friendly, punctual, responsive and made the ride even more pleasant. I recommend it 100%

Wonderful mine/sculpture tour - Great day with Bogatá City Bus on the Salt Cathedral tour! The cathedral was amazing - very informative, incredible mine. The stations of the cross built into the previously mined shafts was brilliant sculpture. Our guide Steven was excellent. Full of info and patient speaking both Spanish and English. Guillermo, our driver, was a master in Bogota traffic.

Great experience - The tour guide was very professional and helpful. The coach was comfortable. We stayed in the salt cathedral for 2.5 hrs and back to Bogota at around 4 pm. However, the lunch location was very touristic.

Incredible! - Official church, built in a salt mine, from the 90s, with a great structure for visiting! It has a complex with cafes, shops, convention center. Single!

Very well done! - An enjoyable and convenient way to see some of the Colombian countryside, see an historic town, the Salt Cathedral, eat delicious food, and meet new friends. After arriving in the town, we were giving time to walk around then regrouped and went to the Salt Cathedral. If all you want to see is the Salt Cathedral, I'd do it on my own and get there early. We had to wait in a long line, although it kept moving. Afterwards, went to a wonderful restaurant that specialized in all things meat, plus some thrilling live music.

Mercenary agency. It's not worth buying from them. - Terrible. It was scheduled for 9am, I paid via trip advisor in advance. I was 10 minutes late and they didn't wait. They didn't want to refund the amount even though they said it was free cancellation. They didn't even call me, I was trying to call to let them know because an accident on the way had stopped everything, but they didn't care. I've never seen that before, they don't call to ask and they leave. I asked for it to be done the next day and they charged me an additional 30% of the cost. Some mercenaries. Not worth it. Look for another agency.
