Easy and enjoyable! - This was an easy and enjoyable afternoon filled with delicious Colombian treats. We visited a variety of locations from restaurants to markets and had everything from sweet to savory. Gina was unbelievable in making sure every stop catered to each dietary restriction. We had shellfish and dairy allergies in our group as well as multiple meat restrictions. Each stop had options readily available to accommodate everyone. On top of all that, Gina made sure to remember every single person’s name and dietary requirement. I’ve never seen anything like it with a group that size without writing it all down. Truly incredible and made you feel so special!

Amazing - We had a lovely tour with milena. We went to 7 spots and had different types of local food. During the tour Milena tells a lot about Bogota, Colombia and ofcourse the food. It was nice to learn a little bit more about the country and the city and Milena is very enthoustic to give you an insight in the Colombian (food) culture.

A tasty way to spend an afternoon in Bogotá - Eating new things is an integral part of travelling, but it's not easy finding out what and where to eat. I very much enjoyed this tour, which was an excellent and tasty way to spend an afternoon in Bogotá. Our guide, Milena, took us on a tour where we tried various local and national dishes, while she entertained us by explaining the history and culture around it. The spots were well-chosen, the food was delicious, and the guide knowledgeable.

A MUST for anyone visiting Bogota! - Lorena, our bilingual tour guide, was excellent. We loved getting to try different foods while walking around La Candelaria in between each small meal and getting to learn more about Bogota and the culture in a "digestible" way 😊. Definitely a highlight of our trip and worth doing for anyone visiting!

A marvelous and unique way to learn about the old town of Bogotá - The Food Tour was a wonderful experience. Lorena guided a small group through a big variety of Colombian dishes, from ajiaco to chocolate, explaining in good English and in a charming way what the foods are made of, how they're prepared and the historical and social context. We visited many restaurants crisscrossing the very interesting Bario de Candelaria.
