Excellent food and guide - A great tour through a small slice of Bogota, eating foods from all over Colombia. Nic was a fantastic host, telling interesting stories and taking the time to showcase his city and love for it. The food was plentiful and all very good. Highly recommended. When they say come hungry, listen.

It was an opportunity to learn a lot about Bogotá and Colombia in general, in a short time. Plus, the food is delicious. I really liked everything and I really wanted to come back.

Milena is a dedicated and... - Milena is a dedicated and incredibly good tour guide. She is very patient and took me and a Norwegian family of three through the streets and alleys, allowing us to truly experience the local culture and customs. She used to be a Spanish teacher, but she switched careers because she genuinely loves and enjoys this job. She accompanied me back to the hotel, helped me get into my Uber, and even gave the driver detailed instructions — very responsible. I give her a five-star rating.

Great Overview of Colombia Food! - Marcela was such a great tour guide for our food tour! The starting location was easy to find and she brought us walking to 7 different restaurants in the area. We tried Colombian food that I’d typically never know to order on my own and gave us great information about the food and culture of Colombia. The group size was great and everything was delicious! Highly recommend!

Amazing food and culture experience - What a day! We had 4 fantastic hours in Candelaria with Millena, our lovely and knowledgeable guide. A "travel" through Colombian regional food specialities. Hidden places and joyable tastes. We highly recommend this food-tour.
