Extremely recommended!
Having already done the city tour with MH Drivetours, I also wanted to see the Salt Cathedral. Everything was super organized and the salt cathedral should definitely be seen. Super recommended!
via Tripadvisor (translated)
Totally recommended
We had an incredible time Manuel was very kind to us, we were insured throughout our tour, Manuel took us to see several places for 2-3 full days and the entire service was excellent and he helped us get better prices in several tourist places

Best private tour in Colombia
Excellent service and attention! Manuel was always very kind to everyone and was attentive to whatever was needed. We arrived very late to Bogotá and our suitcases did not arrive. He waited for us at the airport until we could resolve the issue and the next day he accompanied us to pick up our suitcases and verify that everything was fine, a service that I would definitely recommend and would hire again.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour of the Salt Cathedral and Dinner/Party at Andrés Carne de Res: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.
How much does Private Tour of the Salt Cathedral and Dinner/Party at Andrés Carne de Res cost?
+
Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bogotá usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour of the Salt Cathedral and Dinner/Party at Andrés Carne de Res take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bogotá is not rushed.
Is Private Tour of the Salt Cathedral and Dinner/Party at Andrés Carne de Res worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bogotá, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour of the Salt Cathedral and Dinner/Party at Andrés Carne de Res?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour of the Salt Cathedral and Dinner/Party at Andrés Carne de Res suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour of the Salt Cathedral and Dinner/Party at Andrés Carne de Res?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bogotá can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bogotá and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour of the Salt Cathedral and Dinner/Party at Andrés Carne de Res start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bogotá within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bogotá?
+
On Outty we rank every Bogotá experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Free Graffiti Walking Tour Every Day in Bogota, Bogota Zipaquira Salt Cathedral Private Tour + Lunch, Private City Tour Bogota + Monserrate, Gold, Botero and Candelaria.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bogotá?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bogotá?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
