“Feel like a local!! The food tour with Julianna was an absolute delight, far surpassing my expectations. She was incredibly accommodating, sharing her vast knowledge and making me feel like a local. It was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone! Picking out the fruit was also a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture. Julianna you were amazing!!”

“A Great Culture And Food Experience We had a wonderful, knowledgeable and interesting guide who took us through some lovely neighborhoods and stopping to eat in local places, meeting local people and eating traditional Columbian dishes and drinking local beverages. It was such a great introduction to Bogota. We returned to one of the neighborhoods the next day to have dinner. It was relaxed and comprehensive and I would highly recommend this tour.”

“Good food, interesting route through the city and a very engaging guide. The only problem was that there was too much food at and close to the meeting point. The food spots should be spread more equally along the 4h route.”

“This food tour was hands down one of the best I’ve ever been on. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and generous. They even extended the tour time to ensure we hit every spot. Be prepared to eat a lot and indulge in a variety of Colombian foods, fruits, and drinks. As a Colombian, I learned so much and thought the tour did an amazing job showcasing some of the country’s most traditional dishes. I highly recommend it!”

“Great tour! We tried many kinds of food and drinks, including a bunch of new fruits, and played 2 typical colombian games at bars. We were full by the end! Juliana was a great tour guide, and the group was super kind and sociable so it's a great way to interact with other travelers and share recommendations. Highly recommend!”

“Delicious & Fun! Juliana was amazing! The tour covers a wide variety of Colombian food and drinks. It rained through the second half of our tour, but Juliana was quick to pivot (and checked in beforehand to give a heads up about bringing an umbrella). Really appreciated learning more about the different foods and some of their cultural contexts. The many tastings add up and I was full by the end (the walks in between stops was much needed even in the rain).”
