Cristian, our tour guide was extremely professional and friendly. He was on-time and waited for us at our hotel, as well as the pick-up driver (extremely helpful as well). He made sure to ask for any food allergies or food we do not like, to make the experience more enjoyable. He was extremely knowledgeable and had much historical history to share with us related to food & the culture. Felt safe every step of the way, and the food was delicious! We tasted many different foods. Come with an appetite!

We did the Candelaria food tour with Julian. He is a very interesting conversationalist and it was a pleasure to spend the evening with him. The places we went were unique and we never would have found them on our own. It was enough food for dinner, plus coffee at a charming coffee shop. Highly recommended!

I did the tour with Lizbeth and it was amazing! She made sure enough time was spent at many restaurants around the Candelaria. I'm really glad it was at this historic district with many options so we could pick and choose what to get. I had chocolate con queso, buñuelos, ajiaco santafereño, arepas, and fruits! It was a good amount! She also explained everything about the city and it's history. Overall it was a good introduction to Bogotá.

Do the travelers on this trip have to be 18 years or older? I would like to book a tour with high-school students aging 15-18.
