What a great tour! Our guide Nick was fantastic. Super enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and friendly. So much food that I was full to bursting by the end! I highly recommend this food tour to anyone. Great places chosen & you get to see some of La Candelaria too. A very arty place. ¡Me encanta mucha!

This tour is a must to get to know the real Bogotá. It's not just about food, is to walk the roads, meet the places. The kind of tours I'd repeat again. Besides, Andrés is great with kids.
