    Gastronomic day in Bogotá

    I had a great day with Tomás. He knew how to teach me the essence of Colombian gastronomy, as well as answer all my questions about the country and give me a lot of information and advice about Bogotá. I really enjoyed the day walking through the market, cooking and eating. A taste of the senses. Thank you very much Tomas.

    Response from the operator: Estimado cliente Muchas gracias por tomarse el tiempo de escribirnos su opinión, es muy valiosa para nosotros. Nos alegra mucho saber que Tomás hizo un excelente trabajo siendo embajador de nuestro hermoso país y ciudad. Es emocionante para nosotros saber que nuestros clientes nos dan la oportunidad de mostrarles lo mejor de Bogotá con su historia y cultura. Esperamos que vuelvan pronto a nuestra ciudad, ¡gracias por recomendarnos! ¡Le enviamos nuestros mejores deseos!

    Must do market visit and cooking class

    Joel was a great tour guide. We got to experience one of Bogotá’s local markets and meet local vendors. One of a kind experience that we can’t recommend enough. The private chef cooking class after the market tour and food tasting was the cherry on top.

    Response from the operator: Dear, EdK-Bos Thank you very much for taking the time to write us your opinion, it is very valuable to us. We are very happy to know that Joel did an excellent job being an ambassador of our beautiful country and city. The cooking classes are some of the best experiences we have at the agency. We love that you have been able to live it and at the same time taste our delicious food. We hope you return soon to our city. Thank you for recommending us! We send you our best wishes!

    The best immersive food experience well worth the investment!

    Wow! What an experience! Ana, Miguel and Javier made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. The market tour was amazing… we tried… pan de bono, pan de yuca, buñuelos, empanadas… fruits I never new existed, like a sweet passion fruit?!! The market experience, alone, made the cost of the tour worth it! Then, we went to Ana’s and Miguel’s home to cook ajiaco… well, Miguel cooked, Ana made cocktails and dessert, we just sat and chatted like we were part of the family, which is the best possible experience one can have, in our most humble opinion. And the ajiaco…. Magic! It is one of the tastiest most satisfying dishes I have ever had! We just got back to the hotel, tummies full and souls beaming! Thank you Ana and Miguel for a magical day and an experience we will talk about for as long as we live!

    Response from the operator: Dear Miguel M, Thank you very much for taking the time to write us your opinion, it is very valuable to us. We are glad that you were able to enjoy so many aspects of our food! And all these things are few compared to all the culinary diversity we have in Colombia! We are glad to hear that, Ana, Miguel and Javier met all your expectations in service and that made this a magical experience. We hope you return soon to our city. We send you our best wishes!

    Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $559 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 Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.) take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.)?

    +

    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 Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.)?

    +

    Around 2 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.) 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 Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.)?

    +

    Included: Cooking class; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Professional guide; Lunch; and Food tasting. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.) include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 271 listed pickup locations in and around Bogotá. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.) offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English, Italian, French 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 Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.)?

    +

    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 Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Gastronomy & Cooking Class Private Tour (6 Hrs.) if the weather is bad?
