Salt Cathedral & Lake Guatavita • Private Car 12H • Tickets Guide

Excellent, informative personal tour with stop over at Andre de Carne. Would highly Recommend Louis Felipe.

Mon mari et moi avons eu une excellente visite à Guatavita et à la cathédrale de sel avec les frères Alejandro et Luis Philip. Ils étaient à l'heure à l'hôtel, dans une voiture neuve et très propre. L'organisation entière était parfaite et nous avons pu profiter de ces beaux endroits à la périphérie de Bogota. N'hésitez pas à faire appel aux services de cette grande entreprise !

My son and I spent 4 days in Bogota. In addition to having Luis as out guide for 2 of those days, we hired him to pick us up at the airport when we arrived. We knew immediately that we would be delighted with service from Luis. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet his brother. Luis was an amazing guide. He is knowledgeable, interesting and provides excellent customer service. Luis does not watch the clock. His goal is to make sure that you learn about Bogota and see the sites that are important to you. I wanted to go to the Salt Cathedral and Lake Guatavita but was concerned when I read some of the reviews. I decided to take a chance and hired Luis for this trip. One warning, it is a very long day. Having said that, it is also a very interesting and informative day. At Lake Guatavita you are led through the park by a ranger. Nevertheless less, Luis stayed with us the entire time and translated. While the ranger was lovely and possibly could have managed in English as well as Spanish, we would have struggled to understand her. Luis's English is excellent and he is easy to understand. I wear hearing aids and have trouble understanding some people but I did very well with Luis. One alert, if you are older, as I am, (I'll be 80 on 2/9), Lake Guatavita is at an even higher altitude than Bogota. Walking up over 100 steps can be taxing under these conditions. The ranger does go at a slow pace and is willing to stop as needed. I did need to ask for a few stops even though I exercise regularly. The effort to get to the top is definitely worth it. Lake Guatavita played an important role in the life of the indigenous people of the region and should be seen after a visit to the Gold Museum. After visiting the Lake Guatavita we rode about 11/2 hours to the Salt Cathedral. At Luis suggestion we all had lunch in a restaurant near the salt mine and enjoyed the local food. Luis hired a guide who is also a mine worker to take us through the Salt Cathedral. Again Luis stayed with us the entire time. He oversees everything to make certain you are please with the way the tour is proceeding. Even if you're not Catholic, which we are not, the Salt Cathedral is amazing. We were glad we built this into our Bogota visit. Finally, I cannot say enough about Luis as a guide. He works hard to make certain that your visit meets or exceeds your expectations. In addition, he is a delightful young man. I unconditionally recommend him and his company. Hopefully I will get a chance to meet up with him again in the future.
