    Luis Felipe is a great and professional guide with ample knowledge of Colombia. Lake Guatavita and the Salt Cathedral are breathtaking places. Finish the day with a delicious dinner at “Andres Carne De Res”, a must go restaurant during your trip. Ten out of ten tour.

    We had a absolutely great time in Bogota together with Felipe! He picked us up at the airport and we had beautiful tours together with him (City Tour Bogota, Salt Cathedral, "Holy Lake" and the coffee farm). He was always on time and explained us so many things about Bogota and Colombia that, after a few days, we felt like being home. By the way - he talks excellent English - not very common in Colombia... We will for sure book his services again when we are back in Colombia!

  • Excellent tour

    My husband and I had an excellent visit to Guatavita and the Salt Cathedral with brothers Alejandro and Luis Philip. They were on time at the hotel, in a new and very clean car. The whole organization was perfect and we were able to enjoy these beautiful places on the outskirts of Bogota. Do not hesitate to call on the services of this large Enterprise!

    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.

    Our driver Luis was extremely knowledgeable and patient. When we required some extra time on a site, it was very complete. The guides were friendly and expert and made our tours very fun. We had the most amazing lunch (thanks to Luis) outside the cathedral. We absolutely recommend this tour!
