Wonderful day trip out of...

Published on Feb, 2025

Wonderful day trip out of the city. The lagoon and history was fantastic. The lunch was delicious and very generous portions. The audio tour of the salt cathedral was very informative and it was nice to go at our own pace.

Wonderful way to spend...

Wonderful way to spend the day! Guatavita was interesting to walk around. The hike to the lagoon was full of beautiful flowers and the lagoon was breathtaking. The salt cathedral has each of the stations of the cross. It was a unique experience especially when you realize all the work that went into carving inside a salt mine.

Great tour!

Lorena was an awesome guide. She took us to the charming old town, then for a hike to see the lagoon, and finally to the Salt Cathedral. Lunch was a tasty bbq of pork and beef. Our driver was great too!

Nice tour

Published on Nov, 2024

The trip was a nice experience … the guide tour Camilla was able to substitute another guide tour asap and to save my trip and she was extremely knowledgeable . She was always careful and detailed oriented to make this experience wonderful . I did not appreciate the pressure to shop in their friends’ stores and I will suggest to avoid that feeling … the food place was a particular experience …

Very complete tour: recommended!

Published on May, 2024

Very good and complete tour. Highly recommended because you get to see two amazing places in one day. Our guide Esteban and driver Emilio were good, friendly and knowledgeable, and I appreciate the fact they did not try to sell you stuff plus Esteban had raincoats for us at the Laguna which came in handy. Lunch provided was tasty. All very good!
