Best Bogotá breakfast tour, come hungry! - Andrea was amazing! She knows the area and the history behind the origin of each breakfast item. We had Changua, a typical breakfast soup in Bogotá that the Spaniards adopted from the indigenous people which I found very tasty, Caldo de Costilla a good hangover cure if ever there was one. It was delicious, I had it with beef broth and it was absolutely delicious, the beef was so tender and fresh. Andrea made one additional stop to try a breakfast item from the Caribbean coast, Arepa de Huevo, it was very delicious especially paired with the variety of sauces! Lastly, Andrea took me to a chocolatier. Omg. Colombian chocolate is increíble. Andrea talked about the history of chocolate in the region and how Colombia is making chocolate their own. And for good reason. I tried chocolate y queso for the first time. I highly recommend having it. It is delicious. I highly recommend this tour and thank Andrea for the experience she provided.

If you get Andrea for your tour guide, you will not be disappointed. She speaks perfect English so do not be afraid of not understanding anything. She was very accommodating when I asked if I could purchase some chocolate to take home to share. Amazing tour, amazing tour guide 5/5.

Eclectic Variety of Foods with a Real Foodie Guide - All four of us enjoyed the variety of "breakfast" foods and learning that breakfast was traditionally a big meal in Columbia because people were never sure they would have time for lunch when they left home in the morning. Our guide was a professional chef and also very entertaining tour guide.
