Very professional and reliable! - We used this company for both an airport transfer and car service to the Salt Cathedral and Andres Carne de Res Restaurant. It was our first time in Colombia and Luis was at the airport on time with a clearly marked sign. He helped us with our bags and showed us where to buy a SIM card. Since we don’t speak Spanish, he was kind enough to park his car and escort us into our AirBnb building and helped us communicate with the front door staff, which we really appreciated. The next day, Luis drove us to the Salt Cathedral and also to Andres Carne de Res restaurant in Chia. He was very professional, spoke English well, and was patient with our young children. Overall, I highly recommend Luis and we had a very smooth and pleasant trip.

Excellent transfer service - Great transfer service to Salt Cathedral, while a bit expensive, they did a great job. It's a short drive (1,5 hours) but it was made easy and pleasant thanks to the driver. Luis was excellent, very courteous and helpful.

Excellent value & good service to Salt Cathedral - What a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm not religious at all, but this is a special place. Put aside the religious significance of the place and you still have a wonderful location to visit.
Our driver had to wait an extra hour for us as our tour went a little longer than previously expected, but the driver was very professional and nice about the additional wait time.
I would recommend these guys to anyone looking for a transfer in Bogota.
