This company is amazing! Extremely well organized and professional. We had a large group of 15 people and they accommodated all our needs. The tour guide Luis and Jorge were fantastic. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. If you are interested in any tours in Colombia this is your company for sure. Highly recommend any of their tours. We also did the Monserrate and Rosario Island tour with this company and those were equally incredible. In my opinion this is the only way to go if you want to see Colombia the right way!Bravo Gran Colombia tours, 5 starts for you, your guide, your transportation services, Zipaquira town, and the Salt Cathedral.

Amazing tour - I personally liked not only the salt cathedral but also the stone church in the pueblo main square! Both are beautiful in its own way! I also recommend the staff from Gran Columbia Tours. they were really thoughtful and responded fast despite my short notice to book the activity. It's definitely worth the visit if you have more than 2 days in Bogota!Booked the tour with only 10h in advance and they were able to arrange the two tours for me that I wanted to do. Even when my plane was late they offered me one of the tour guide’s private contact messages to meet me so I would feel secure at all time. All tour guides spoke proficient (almost nat...
Booked the tour with only 10h in advance and they were able to arrange the two tours for me that I wanted to do. Even when my plane was late they offered me one of the tour guide’s private contact messages to meet me so I would feel secure at all time. All tour guides spoke proficient (almost native) English and were very educated about Colombia’s past and present history. Would highly recommend this to anyone going to Colombia
The Salt Cathedral is a very unique church and it is worth the travel time from Bogota. I was amazed at the size of this underground cathedral. Zipaquira is a small city with a colonial type of architecture. Marcela, the guide, was a charming, fun, and energetic person.
