3-hour Bazurto Public Market tour with a bilingual guide, public transit, native fruit tastings, and lunch at a local home.
“Daniella was our guide and she was wonderful. She is well versed in the market and its history. Not to mention, she navigates the market like a pro! Many times I thought we were in a never ending cycle of stalls but she knew exactly where we were. This tour's main focus is the food but the market itself is a sampling of so much more the area has to offer from music and culture. Highly recommend. We sampled some native fruits as well as had a meal at Cecilia's.”

“My friend and I are obsessed with fruit and we though this tour would be a great idea and introduction to bogota-we had so many fruits, Victor provided spoons, hand sanitizer, wipes THE MAN WAS PREPARED. He explained all the fruit, provided salt and tajin and before we even started trying the fruit had us cleanse our palate with some excellent coconut water. AND it wasn’t just fruit, it was also empanadas with 6 different salsas, pan de queso FRESH OUT OF THE OVEN, smoothies, hot chocolate, chucula and arepas from a stall that Anthony Bourdain graced with his presence. YOU NEED TO DO THIS. He also gave us recommendations…”

Our tour took care of all the extra arrengements for the special packages that gave the entire experience a unique flavor.
