Salt Cathedral - Our guides, both Mauricios, were welcoming and professional. Flawless transport to the Salt mine. The Cathedral was incredible as were the additional exhibits. Visiting underground cafes and stores was amazing. There is even an underground spa! We would’ve loved to schedule a service had we known.

Wonderful Day trip! - We had an amazing day! Our tour guide/driver Jhon picked us at our hotel on time. He was pleasant and friendly. On the way to Zipaquira he explained a lot of information on the areas we were driving by and told us what the schedule would be like once we got to Zipaquira. He gave us plenty of time to do the tour inside the salt cathedral and we knew exactly the meeting point. After that, he took us for a drive of the historic sites in Zipaquira and then we had a wonderful traditional lunch of grilled meats. We also made a quick stop at a gift shop. I would highly recommend Jhon if you're interested in taking this tour.

Catedral de Sal - Nuestro tour con Jhovanny a Zipaquira fue increíble. En este tour, pudimos visitar la Catedral de Sal que sinceramente vale la pena ir especialmente con Jhovanny que fue nuestra guia. Después, tuvimos la oportunidad de caminar por Zipaquira y terminamos nuestro día con una comida muy típica de ahi. Jhovanny es una persona muy amable y nos dio muy buena información durante nuestro tour! No se la piensen dos veces para reservar este tour. Our tour with Jhovanny to Zipaquira was incredible. During this tour, we were able to visit the Salt Cathedral which is truly worth it especially with Jhovanny which was our tour guide. After, we had the opportunity to walk around Zipaquira and ended our day with a typical lunch from the town. Jhovanny is such a nice person and gave us great information during our tour! Don’t think twice about reserving this tour.

Glad we saw the Salt Cathedral this way. - We did the audio guide no lunch option and it was perfect for us. Jhon picked us up promptly from our hotel and shared a lot of interesting information along the way, showed us Zipaquira, and dropped us back at our hotel. Loved the private transportation and that we could move through the cathedral at our own (quick) pace. Excellent experience, would recommend if wanting to see this attraction.
