I booked the tour late evening, basically less than 12 hours before start. At the meeting point the tour guide was not aware of my booking. We still managed to solve that. Unfortunately, the description that someone would wear a red jacket did not apply. At the meeting point the guide looked like someone looking for other people, so I approached him. I enjoyed a lot the both tours, especially thanks here to the local guides. Some English speaking people have been in the group, I am sure they missed a lot from what the local guide shared with us. The restaurant for lunch is very nice and cheap. Downside was the arrival time back in Bogotá. We arrived 8-9 pm, some people from the group missed their flights on the same day, because they expected arriving earlier (5 pm according info). So I can recommend the tour if you understand Spanish, for English speakers it can be a bit disappointing.

We were late with everything, as the traffic in Bogota was massive. Nevertheless the nice tour guides made sure that we still had enough time for everything, even though it meant we returned quite late in the evening. The Salt Cathedral is spectacular indeed. Even if you are not religious you get a good sense of craftmansship and dedication. The guides there spoke spanish only, but you get an audio guide. The audio guide seemed to focus more on the religious experience, whereas the guide focussed more on the mining and building work. During dinner we happened to experienced a local street parade, very good, funny, entertaining, I loved this little extra. The laguna is high up, you need some stamina for climbing, dont underestimate that. The additional information by a different guide around the laguna were all in spanish and - for my taste - too long. Our guide tried to translate, but I guess a lot got lost in translation. A colombian woman shusshed our guide during the translation too

Wir fanden die Tour sehr inspirierend, obwohl meine Freundin kein Spanisch spricht. Der Fahrer war freundlich, hilfsbereit und erzählte uns immer wieder von der Geschichte der verschiedenen Orte, die wir besuchten. So bekommt man ein schönes Bild von Bogotá (und Kolumbien). Auch der Guide am Guatavita-See war begeistert und behielt daher ihre Aufmerksamkeit. Auch die Wanderung zum See war wunderschön. Das Mittagessen war lecker. Und der Besuch des Salzdoms war interessant, aber ein echter Führer wäre ein Mehrwert gewesen.
