What an experience! - We took this package and must say that i was not expecting this outcome... guys, what and amazing tour, where you can feel and really grt to know the trading of fruits and groseries in Bogota, how every one is with a big smile and if i talk about our tour guide! MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR ESTHER BUSTAMANTE, how she managed to load you with a bunch of culture in a fresh and very dynamic way. This is definately a mus do while in Bogota...

Fun in Bogotá - I really enjoyed both tours that I did with Maria Paula Gasca. I did a city tour which included a visit to the Botero Museum as well as a culinary tour. Maria was organized, informative and a fun person to spend the day with!

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE--BOGOTA MUST DO - Oscar is fantastic. What a fun time! So much to eat and so much to see--you don't have to be a foodie to love this tour. The driver was excellent and the whole day was a highlight of my monthlong trek through South America. Oscar was a super host and super smart. We had some fascinating conversations and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great way to find out even more reasons why Bogota is amazing.

Full day tour Bogota - Excelent service by our guide David. He knows everything you could expect. Everything was perfect. With the private van everything was easygoing.

Fun and informative - a great value booked on short notice - We booked the gastronomic tour of Bogota with only a few days' notice and had requested a guide who would be willing to be flexible and go off the beaten path with us. They really delivered on short notice with Carolina Gomez, who was relaxed and friendly, spoke excellent English, and was able to pivot on a dime if we expressed interest in something (ice cream, the meat market in Paloquemao) to let us try things that weren't necessarily on the itinerary. Her knowledge of the city's history was excellent, and as a biologist, her scientific expertise in all the different types of fruit was way beyond what I could have hoped for - really informative. It was the perfect way to kick off our trip to Bogota, giving us a broad overview of multiple tourist sites and plenty of exposure to the local foods, and what's more, she gave us a whole list of helpful Spanish phrases that served us well for the rest of the vacation. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Great walking tour - I really enjoyed the walking tour with Alex. He was knowledgeable, engaging and happy to answer questions. Seemed to have a very good relationship with a lot of the vendors we visited. While I like the concept of exploring the city looking for interesting food i think overall I would have preferred skipping very common food (like empanadas) in favour of other things. A good experience with some possibility for improvement.
