    Better Than Imagined: Don't Miss

    This tour was absolutely fabulous. We sampled interesting beers and foods from different regions of Colombia while learning about the history of the food and regions. Each place we visited was special and so different. We played tejo, met locals, listened to diverse music, and learned about beautiful Colombia. Our guides really cared about our experience and, from start to finish, curated an unforgettable experience. They are passionate about their work and their country. Don't miss this amazing opportunity.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re truly happy to hear that the tour was even better than you imagined. Sharing Colombia’s food, stories, music, and local traditions—especially a fun game of tejo—is exactly what we love to do. It was a real pleasure having you with us, and your kind words mean a lot to our guides and the entire team. We hope to welcome you back for another delicious adventure in Colombia someday!

    Behind the Pint: Candelaria Craft Beer & Food Tour — 13 Tastings: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.

    How much does Behind the Pint: Candelaria Craft Beer & Food Tour — 13 Tastings cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bogotá usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Behind the Pint: Candelaria Craft Beer & Food Tour — 13 Tastings take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bogotá is not rushed.

    Is Behind the Pint: Candelaria Craft Beer & Food Tour — 13 Tastings worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bogotá, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Behind the Pint: Candelaria Craft Beer & Food Tour — 13 Tastings?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Behind the Pint: Candelaria Craft Beer & Food Tour — 13 Tastings suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Behind the Pint: Candelaria Craft Beer & Food Tour — 13 Tastings?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bogotá can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bogotá and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Behind the Pint: Candelaria Craft Beer & Food Tour — 13 Tastings start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bogotá within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bogotá?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bogotá experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Free Graffiti Walking Tour Every Day in Bogota, Bogota Zipaquira Salt Cathedral Private Tour + Lunch, Private City Tour Bogota + Monserrate, Gold, Botero and Candelaria.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bogotá?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bogotá?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
