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.

5 Star Food Tour in Bogota!

We had an incredible private food tour this morning with Luis. The experience was perfectly tailored to our tastes, featuring foods, fruits, and coffee we genuinely enjoyed, and he also shared fascinating insights into the town’s history, which was a great added bonus. Luis’s English was excellent, and he was an absolute pleasure to spend time with. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bogotá, truly ticked all the boxes for us.
