Guest reviews

Juliana was a fantastic guide. She knows so much about food and the history of the dishes, and she really made it feel like a group of friends just having an amazing time. The places visited were unique and clearly reflected the culture of Bogotá. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone!

This tour was absolutely phenomenal. Great food, loads of laughter and surprises with taste. We never would have found any of those locations on our own to eat from. It was worth every dollar.

What a great way to experience Bogota and Colombian culture! Jenny clearly took great care in selecting every stop of this culinary journey. Her knowledge of history, love for community and passion for local and national flavors is on full display as you eat your afternoon away.

Our guide Andres was very knowledgeable and provided lots of information about the food and history of Colombia. He was really friendly and answered all the questions that we had. Everything ran smoothly and it was a really fun experience. The food was really good, especially the lechona.

Our guide Jenny was great! She also had a ton of historical and apocryphal knowledge of the neighborhoods we were walking around and was genuinely very enthusiastic, so in addition to a great food experience we also got a great walking tour as well: a jam packed experience!
