Fantastic tour with... - Fantastic tour with Ivonne as our guide. The tour has balanced portions, a couple small bites, medium bites and desserts too. Throughout the tour Ivonne educated us on the food and where it originates from and made us laugh along the way. After the tour I asked Ivonne to write down the foods we ate which she did happily, I appreciate her knowledge and eagerness to introduce us to Colombian cuisines. I highly recommend this tour - 100% worth the price. TIP: don't eat before hand, there is plenty of food I promise!

Well rounded food tour to see the diversity of Columbia’s cuisine - From seafood over desert to the famous Ajiaco, there has been a wide variety of different foods from Colombia. Our Guide Gabi did a great job explaining everything while being super nice and helpful with our questions. I had a good time and would highly recommend it.

Good tour bogota - Milena was such a good tour guide. Took us round to the most fantastic places. Super knowledgeable about bogota, letting us know some extra spots to go to around bogota, that were not on the food tour. Such a great experience and we appreciate her showing us round. I would really recommend you request Milena for the food tour. The tour itself is a really great way to see bogota!

Milena the best - Milena was absolutely amazing. She was so knowledgable about all foods and colombia, and what she doesn’t tell you is that she’s actually a local celebrity in Bogota, literally everyone knew her haha. She is able to get you into places other food tourists can’t so definitely recommend her!

Excellent! - The tour is amazing, we taste typical food from different regions of Colombia. Pre-Colombian food and adapted with colonization, the guide knew the history of each dish, how it emerged and how it evolved with the great cultural mix that Colombia offers. The guide knows the culture, history and local merchants which makes the tour a unique experience. I recommend this tour to everyone who wants to know more about the cuisine and history of Colombia.

A great introduction to Colombian cuisine! - I had a great experience on this food tour! The tour was half English speakers and half Spanish speakers, and our tour guide was able to conduct the tour in both languages. We tried a wide variety of foods from all over the country. I have some dietary restrictions and our guide was able to work around them for me. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to try some authentic Colombian food!

Too many in the group - Our group had 19 people. That was toooo many. Gabriela really tried hard. At each stop, the food was not prepared prior to our arrival. Consequently the tour ran late. The tour did not return to the starting point as was advertised
