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.
It was very informative, tour guide was phenomenal and the food was awesome. Experienced the culture through the food.
We’re delighted to hear you had such a rich and enjoyable experience. It’s great to know the guide and the food made the tour so special and immersive. Thank you for choosing Gran Colombia Tours, we hope to welcome you again soon.
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.

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.

We are so glad we booked this experience! Our guide Sara was amazing. She took us to some great traditional places we never would have found by ourselves. We tried such a variety of traditional foods and drinks and Sara was great at explaining the background as we went along. Would highly recommend!

We learned so much and enjoyed tasting the foods. Our guide even tailored our experience for food preferences and easily pivoted when some of the restaurants were closed for the new year. Thanks for the guidance!

This is an absolute must when staying in Bogota. We were fortunate enough to have had Luis as our guide. Throughout it was extremely evident he truly cared about making our experience as great as possible. He took us to several gems throughout Candelaria, all of which we ended up loving. Spots included interesting fruits, great coffee, and other authentic Colombian foods and drinks. Luis was extremely knowledgeable and spoke english very well. 10/10 experience, cannot recommend enough.
