    So much fun! A great introduction to Colombian food.

    This was so much fun! We met at the Cranky Crock Hostel. Our tour guide was Melissa and she was wonderful. We hit 5 restaurants, with her explaining each food in detail. On the hot chocolate stop, she patiently taught us how chocolate is processed, from pod to our cups. We had a breakfast soup called Changua soup; a beans, rice, and egg dish; passion fruit; a breakfast tamale; hot chocolate with cheese in it (!); Almojabana bread, among other dishes. There was one hill, but it was an easy short walk around the Crank Croc neighborhood. I'm 67 and had no problems with the walk. I'd do this tour again!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed discovering so many traditional Colombian breakfast dishes. Melissa loves sharing the stories behind each stop, and we're happy to know the chocolate experience was one of your highlights. We hope the memories (and flavors!) stayed with you long after your visit to Bogotá. 🇨🇴☕😊

    Great way to start day/trip

    Excellent experience with Melissa. Locations were an easy walk. Enjoy coffee and hot chocolate (different stops). Glad she gave us permission to try but not finish everything. Fruit stop was great learning about Columbian's diversity

    Response from the operator: Thank you for joining us! We're glad you enjoyed exploring Bogotá through its breakfast traditions and local flavors. Colombia's incredible variety of fruits and regional foods always surprises many visitors, and we're happy Melissa could help bring those stories to life. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip in Colombia. 🇨🇴

    5 stars for Gabriela and all the delicious food!

    This breakfast tour is fantastic, and Gabriela is great company and an amazing tour guide! Answered all of questions and showed me some of the most delicious breakfast meals, as well as a small tour of the streets of La Candelaria. Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We're so happy you enjoyed the tour with Gabriela and had the chance to discover both the flavors and the history of La Candelaria. Sharing local traditions through food is one of our favorite ways to introduce visitors to Bogotá. We truly appreciate the recommendation. 😊☕🇨🇴

    Best Bogotá breakfast tour, come hungry!

    Andrea was amazing! She knows the area and the history behind the origin of each breakfast item. We had Changua, a typical breakfast soup in Bogotá that the Spaniards adopted from the indigenous people which I found very tasty, Caldo de Costilla a good hangover cure if ever there was one. It was delicious, I had it with beef broth and it was absolutely delicious, the beef was so tender and fresh. Andrea made one additional stop to try a breakfast item from the Caribbean coast, Arepa de Huevo, it was very delicious especially paired with the variety of sauces! Lastly, Andrea took me to a chocolatier. Omg. Colombian chocolate is increíble. Andrea talked about the history of chocolate in the region and how Colombia is making chocolate their own. And for good reason. I tried chocolate y queso for the first time. I highly recommend having it. It is delicious. I highly recommend this tour and thank Andrea for the experience she provided.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing review! It was a pleasure reading about all the different breakfast dishes you tried during the tour. From changua to chocolate with cheese, every region of Colombia has unique traditions, and we're thrilled that Andrea helped make the experience memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Colombia in the future. ☕🇨🇴

    Bogotá: Discover Local Breakfast Traditions & Tastings: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Bogotá: Discover Local Breakfast Traditions & Tastings cost?

    +

    Prices start at $53 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 Bogotá: Discover Local Breakfast Traditions & Tastings take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Bogotá: Discover Local Breakfast Traditions & Tastings worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 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 Bogotá: Discover Local Breakfast Traditions & 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 Bogotá: Discover Local Breakfast Traditions & Tastings suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bogotá: Discover Local Breakfast Traditions & Tastings?

    +

    Around 5 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bogotá: Discover Local Breakfast Traditions & 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.

    What is included in Bogotá: Discover Local Breakfast Traditions & Tastings?

    +

    Included: Breakfast. Not included: Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Bogotá: Discover Local Breakfast Traditions & Tastings?

    +

    We will meet at... The Cranky Croc Hostel Cl. 12d #3-56, Bogotá, Colombia ***Once you arrive inside of the hostel, go to. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Bogotá: Discover Local Breakfast Traditions & Tastings offered in?

    +
