Skip the park. Go to the cathedral.

The salt Cathedral is wonderful. I would go back there again in a heartbeat. The Guatavita is beautiful. But they only had tours in Spanish which I knew before signing up. I wasn’t aware that the guy would be talking the entire time that we were walking. It was kind of disruptive to the peace of the place

Great excursion. But non Spanish speaker beware

The salt cathedral was definitely a unique experience. Nothing like this and if you like modern interpretation then this one is for you
Just abit about the tour. Our tour guide Carlos did his best to accommodate everyone. I went in knowing that no or little English is spoken. It will be hard for people that don’t speak Spanish on this tour. In the cathedral of salt y get an audio guide so that is not too bad but other places you are on your own
We were lucky that the guide in Guatavita lagoon spoke English. And she did explain some to the rest of the English speaking group but officially she is not allowed to do so
The views and the story of the lake is pretty interesting. And the flora is spectacular
Definitely worth visiting
A visual spectacle

More of a transportation service than a guided tour

We have done several tours I'm different countries and our experience has always been great! Unfortunately this has been the exception. We waited almost 40 minutes for people who didn't show up to the pick up stuff, so we were running behind schedule. Lunch ended up being at 3pm!
The "tour guide" didn't really talk to the passengers. There was nothing in way of explanation about the places we were visiting or stories to share the Colombian culture, as it's the norm with these type of activities.
The driver was pretty terrible and the van kept stalling on the hills. He clearly wasn't really used to driving this vehicle.
We could have hired a taxi or an uber and just asked to be dropped off at the Cathedral and the lake, because that is basically all the service we received.
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Vanessa Thanks for your comment. however, our service has no service compared with a taxi/uber. we have many more added values. In Guatavita (attraction) they do not allow guides in English and that is the reason for less communication there, however we have designed the audio guides help english speakers. At description in this tour it is said.
Regarding the logistics of the people, it was not 40 minutes that you waited, I know that waiting is complex in these group tours but that day was something special because there was a person who could not walk well and was slower than normal, so the group decided to have a little more patience with this person.
Regarding the driver's way of driving, it is difficult to judge the handling, perhaps you felt a lot of jump on the road but the point is that the road is like that, what's more you can't even fast because it's a narrow road and you go to the speed you can go. However we apologize for this and we regret the non-compliance.
In Bogotá this year there are some public works going out and this has greatly limited the times. Weekends also increase traffic, let's say that the issue of arriving so late that day was the union of several elements. But it is not that the logistics have gotten out of hand. It is a Tour that has been tested by hundreds of clients with excellent comments and in terms of quality/price rating.
On another occasion, we recommend the private tours that we also have in the company: with a guide in your language, with the same benefit of the preference rows, insurance, exclusive transportation, and much more. Of course the value is higher. The advantage: just for you! These tours are also tested by hundreds of people and with excellent results, we manage government tours, special guests and many well-known and important people and we have not had any complaints.

Aside from the fact that no one spoke English the trip was constantly delayed. We were supposed to be back by 5 and got back at 9. The tour opertors were nice, but did not have things together
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Fredic, Thanks for your comment. This year it is complicated to manage the times due to the fact that many public works are carried out and this has made it difficult to comply with the promised times. However, we have increased this promise in order to avoid this kind of comments. Before 6-7 hour, today is 9-10. We apologize for the extra delay.
Today we have preferential rows, can you imagine? at lunch also with many advantages in restaurants. Our big issue is the time people spend at attraction, on group tours is the key and we have emphasized but sometimes people take more time and we sincerely do not want to leave them. Believe us, as soon as the person does not arrive on time, we try to contact them by all different channels because we know the complexity for the rest of the group. There is a huge logistical work behind it, it is arduous but we also depend of the same clients. We are going to be more stricter. On some occasions when we have a guide inside the cathedral, it has also been difficult for him/her to keep the group together because of the number of people inside and because each persona wants to do different activities there.
Thank you very much for your comment, a little unfair if you put yourself in our shoes, believe me we do our best to provide the best experience. 99% of the tours we don't have any problems, from what we say, tourists also collaborate with all.
