5.00We hired Luis Filipe twice once for an airport pickup and the second time to take us to the salt cathedral. Both experiences were first rate.
Exceeded Expectations!

5.00Highly recommend this tour. Luis is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic and this was a great first tour in Bogotá. He was very accommodating and frequently checked that we were happy with his approach throughout the day. He brought the salt cathedral to life for us and navigated all the highlights perfectly!
Don't miss out on this tour!

5.00Our tour group included my retired parents, my teenage son, and me. Luis Felipe, who drove us to the Salt Cathedral and also showed us around the town of Zipaquira, was incredibly knowledgeable about all things Colombian and very friendly. Andreas, who took us on the tour of the Salt Cathedral, was also very kind and had a deep understanding of all aspects of the cathedral. Both took great care to ensure we all had a wonderful day, and our whole group agreed it was our favorite day in Colombia.
Awesome tour with a wonderful guide

5.00We went in July 2025, my family with children 20 and 22 years old. Excellent Service. We made the transfers airport/hotel, hotel/airport and the guided tour to the Sal Cathedral. They were extremely professional and punctual. Louis and Alejandro are very polite and have a lot of general culture, making our experience in Bogotá very rich and interesting. We highly recommend!
A great day out.

5.00Luis was a fantastic guide. He picked us up from our hotel and shared his knowledge whilst we drove to the Salt Cathedral. Luis then guided us around the Cathedral and used his experience to avoid the crowd which meant we had a more private tour. It was a great day topped off by a visit to Andres Carne de Res which Luis organised for us. Would recommend!
Take a tour and feel like you are with your good friend.

5.00Our tour with Luis was the best! He made us feel like family that was visiting his hometown. Luis passion for all things Colombia shines through. At the cathedral he handed us to Andres who was an expert on the cathedral and the surrounding area. You could spend hours upon hours here. So much to see and enjoy. We appreciated the personal tour learning about the sculptors and the meaning and significance of the cross and how it changed in each station. Stop and enjoy a cup of coffee too.
Terrific Tour

5.00I highly recommend Bogota Driver Guide Service with Luis Felipe. His knowledge, experience and love for Colombia was fantastic. He was terrific discussing history with us and putting together pieces from other tours. We love to ask questions. His car and driving were superb especially given the traffic in Bogota. My friend and I had some "challenges" completely of our own making and he helped us solve them with a smile and total understanding. The guide he planned for us at the Salt Cathedral was perfect. The Salt Cathedral is really amazing and so unique. A must if you are in Bogota. Luis Felipe arranged for us to go to dinner at Andres Carnes on the way back to Bogota. What a fun place. The food and drinks were good too. Overall, it was a terrific day and really appreciated Luis Felipe taking care of us.
Fantastic experience

5.00We had an excellent tour of the salt cathedral and Zipaquirda town with Luis and Alejandro. Luis is extremely knowledgeable and provides very helpful information. Both Luis and Alejandro went above and beyond in their service and I highly recommend this company for anyone looking for tours in or near Bogota. Additionally, they were extremely accommodating to any changes or special requests.
