Food variety - more than anticipated - Great tour! Initially a little doubtful as I’d already sampled Colombian food during my first 2 weeks of travel. However pleasantly surprised; great guide, great tasting, great group.

Do it! - Lorenzo was an amazing guide for my first day in Colombia. Very glad I did this tour. The food was excellent and he was super knowledgeable as a native Bogotan. He gave us lots of interesting anthropological and historical information as well as educated us on the local murals. It was like 3 tours in one! Very good value. Thank you Lorenzo

Great Experience - The food was authentic and high quality. Even if you prefer other types of food this tour is essential to sample the traditional flavors of Colombia especially Bogotá. Nick was our guide and he was great despite having to deal with a rowdy group like ours.

Great intro to Bogotá - Nick was a great tour guide with lots of knowledge of food and Bogotá. Our group was 9 people, and we never had to wait for a table at the 7 restaurants we visited. Definitely come hungry (as I was nearly full by the 5th stop!). A great way to explore the Candelaria area and try local places if you’re not fluent in Spanish.

We had our Food... - We had our Food Experience tour on the first day in Bogota. Julia showed us around and had many recommendations of things to see during our stay. The local fare was exquisite and she really knew where to go. We had some wonderful food and she was very successful in accommodating others on the tour with their food restrictions while offering the rest anything else on the planned menu. We really feel we were immersed into the food culture of Colombia! I would highly recommend this tour and Julia!

Fabulous experience of authentic Colombian cuisine! - Milena was an excellent hostess for our Colombian food tour! When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to find we were the only attendees on the tour meaning we had Milena’s undivided attention throughout the afternoon. Mile made us feel welcome, shared interesting insight into Colombian life and delivered an unforgettable afternoon. We tried 7 dishes at different restaurants that were authentic local spots we would have never found ourselves. The tastings were substantial and served as both lunch and dinner for us! Highly recommend this tour and Milena to all travellers looking to experience the local way of life.

Great tour! - This was an incredible tour! Our guide, Nick, was amazing. He had us eating and exploring food from all different regions of Colombia and sharing the vast history of each dish! As we walked around, he also shared some history of La Candelaria, the street art, and the historical sites. The food was delicious. We had 7 different dishes; at the beginning, I was skeptical that I would be full by the end as the portions were small, but the last 3 dishes were heavy with bigger portions, and by dish 7, I could barely finish my food.
Loved this tour it was a great time!
