Wow, this tour was amazing. I always book to go on solo tours so that I have somewhat control over the time and the agenda This was no different. I was really looking forward to seeing the salt cathedral and lake Guatavita. I booked this excursion the day before after I made all my other plans. This trip did not disappoint. Lake Guatavita was majestic, and the history was something I knew nothing about. The salt cathedral was majestic and spiritual all at the same time. There are parts of this tour that will really take your breath away. What I will say is my tour guide Ludwyn made the tour all that much better. He has an impressive knowledge of both sites so much more than I ever expected. Sometimes on these tours, you’re kind of left to do your own thing and explore your own stuff but he was right there, explaining it every step of the way and that made the whole experience even better. If you sign up for this tour, make the request to have Ludwyn as your guide you will not be disappointed.
