Fun, educational and delicious - We loved this food tour! Our tour guide Nick was knowledgeable and charming and we learned a lot about food from across Colombia. We went to some great little eateries and were so full at the end so it was great value for money too. Thank you!

Awesome! - The gastronomic tour of Bogotá was a wonderful experience. We visited seven typical restaurants, each offering authentic and delicious dishes. From ajiaco to changua, everything met our expectations. Lorena, our guide, was excellent: friendly, attentive, and highly knowledgeable about local cuisine. She made each stop even more special. A highly recommended tour for anyone wanting to explore the true flavors of Bogotá's cuisine.

Candelaria Epic Food Experience - What a great experience! Highly recommended if you want to dive deep in to the culture of this fantastic city! We had seven stops where we were able to try all of the local delicacies. Gina our tour guide made sure that we were taken care of and was one of the highlights of this trip. Thanks Gina for your generous hospitality, it made a huge difference. Bring comfy shoes because there is a lot of walking around Candelaria area, and a jacket because the weather is unpredictable.

Incredible Food Tour - Lorena was very kind and extremely knowledgeable, not just about the food but random history and tidbits. Food was great, each stop was amazing and I feel as if I learned a lot about the country through my stomach!

The best way to learn about Columbian food! - The tour was perfect. Beside the very very good food (and you will end the tour with a properly filled stomach!!!) and all the information about it (e.g. the regions and the cultural background where it originates from or how it is prepared) you get a very interesting historical input about Colombia and Bogota. Since my Spanish is weak i was glad the guide provided all information also in English in a very fascinating manner. Overall it was an experience that i would not have made without this tour. I highly recommend it!

Remarkable experience that captures the spirit of Bogota - Great food tour in the eclectic Bogota neighborhoods. Got to taste a variety of dishes and learn about their history and origins. Milena is a passionate and talented guide, whose love for Columbia is quite evident. There’s a lot of food to taste by the time one makes it through the tour, so unless you’re a big eater, don’t eat before coming!

Little disappointed - The tour was great and the food and restaurants we visited were great choices. They accommodated with other choices when I couldn't eat some ingredients which was great. Only disappointment was that the tour said it will be in English and I made sure of it while reserving. The guide would spent 5-6 minutes in Spanish and 1 minute to explain me in English. It was disappointing that I was not given proper attention even though I paid the same amount as others. You must be prepared for this situation as it seems to be a common thing here that they will have so many Spanish speakers that English speakers get left out. It is Colombia so can't complain but this is what a Tourist expects.
