Amazing Tour
Myra was an amazing guide. Really passionate about eco tourism and also a Colombian indigenous expert. Loved the tour, and the food was just the icing on the cake 🙂
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're delighted to know you had such a wonderful tour with Myra and that her passion for ecotourism and knowledge made the experience even more special. And we're glad the food was the perfect finishing touch to a great day! We'll be happy to share your kind words with Myra.

Great Experience!
We had Juana as our guide and she was amazing! She has such a fun personality and talked all along the way as we visited her favorite places to try local foods. She asked us questions in the beginning to understand what we were looking for to adapt the tour for our wants (we had a private food tour). We asked her questions outside of the food we were trying and she knew her history and culture and we were able to learn a lot. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Juana made your private food tour such a memorable experience. It’s fantastic to know she personalized the tour to your interests and shared her passion for Colombia’s food, history, and culture with such enthusiasm. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Colombia!

Highly recommend
I had a long layover in Bogota so I made the most of by booking a tour that included food tasting (to include coffee) and ride up to Monserrate. My guide (Diego Vela) was incredible and happy to answer any questions I had with perfect English. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: We’re delighted to hear you made the most of your layover with such a great experience. It’s wonderful to know Diego’s knowledge and communication made the tour so smooth and enjoyable. Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing Gran Colombia Tours, we hope to welcome you again soon.

Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.
How much does Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá cost?
+
Prices start at $63 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 Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 72 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 Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá?
+
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 Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá?
+
Around 25 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá 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 Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá?
+
Included: Arepa & Almojábana with cheese tasting; Coffee tasting; Chocolate Santafereño tasting; All-risk insurance; and Obleas tasting. Not included: Extra food; and Extra purchases. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 283 listed pickup locations in and around Bogotá. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Food Tour in La Candelaria Bogotá if the weather is bad?
+
