Food tour done right

5.00We did this tour on our first full day in Columbia and let me tell you it was a great way to start off the trip. Because walking was involved, we got to explore different parts of the city and familiarize ourselves with the area. We also tried new foods that of course we could not try back home in America. The host was very informative and funny and one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. I would recommend this 10 out of 10. Oh also her assistive person was very handsome too , not bad to have eye candy on a tour
Do it!

5.00Really great introduction to food of Colombia. Some really great food and surprises along the way. Could be a tad shorter with one less stop and be more adult drinks focused. Would recommend it!

5.00Really enjoyed this tour. Definitely worth it. Robert was an amazing tour guide and added historical and cultural knowledge in addition to the food facts. The food was all delicious and gave a great mix of different kinds. Theres lots of walking, naturally, but is certainly doable and most stops have the opportunity to sit down and enjoy the food. Would 100% recommend!
Nice tour

5.00We had a great time with Robert. He was kind explaining everything for us to understand the food and culture and a bunch of jokes!! The tour was very accommodating with food changes if you couldn’t eat what was offered. We walked about 2 miles and he waited to make sure everyone was together.
