Nice experience that I recommend - Nice and exquisite experience. I recommend! My group was small (7 people including me).
First stop was in Zipaquira town. It is dispensable, but you can have a fast snack to prepare for the cathedral of salt.
The visit to the Cathedral is nice. After obtaining a ticket (the driver helps you to buy), they give you an audioguide in various languages.
John was our driver. He is not a guide, but helped us to understand the stations within the Cathedral, and to provide us with some useful tips. If you want a full guided experience, this is not for you. For my objectives, it was very good.
The driver (John) picked and dropped me at the hotel as previously arranged. The van was nice, with air conditioning, and he drove the van safely.
John also suggested some good places for having lunch, to buy souvenirs, and to try coca tea. He was very attentive.
Inside the Cathedral you can buy some sculptures made of salt and resine. Buy them inside the cathedral.
Traffic inside Bogota is heavy, so leave early. If you have any flight planned, be careful. I ended my trip by 17:30.

Nice day at the Salt Cathedral - This was a very nice tour. Jhon was a great tour guide. I highly recommend touring with him. The Salt Cathedral made for a fantastic day. Jhon’s lunch recommendation was excellent too. The only thing I can say about lunch is bring a big appetite or share.

Wonderful trip!! - The tour with them was great, super attentive from the beginning. They took us to the Cathedral, we bought the ticket but we didn't get in line, we went straight in. Then we made a small tour of the city centre, then we went to lunch. The driver William a dear, attentive, sympathetic, super recommend!!

An Unforgettable Experience - An Unforgettable Experience!
Jhon's Catedral de Sal tour was absolutely phenomenal and far exceeded our expectations! His expertise and passion for the subject were evident, making the tour incredibly informative and engaging. He went above and beyond to be helpful and was always available to answer our questions in both English and Spanish. We had a truly fantastic experience and cannot recommend Jhon highly enough. He is a truly outstanding guide!

There are better options - A bit overpriced for what it is. There's no guide service. The driver spoke only Spanish and all the communication is through Google Translate. In the Salt Cathedral we got the automated audio guide. The lunch was in a touristy restaurant where you're pressured to tip the musicians. Then the driver forgot to drop us off in town centre, I had to remind the coordinator and we U turned. It still took a day. I think I would rather do the big bus tour. Admission of COP118000 and lunch were not included. So almost US$60 for only the transfer. A bit pricey.
