Overview

Six hours with a private guide and your own vehicle, built around Colombian food and the markets that supply it. Hansa Tours runs this as a private experience, so only your group takes part, and the longest single stop is the Plaza de Mercado Paloquemao, where two hours are set aside and admission is included.

From there the tour moves to Plaza de Mercado La Perseverancia for 40 minutes, then to Barrio La Candelaria for another 40. Along the way you get food tastings and a full lunch, all covered in the tour price, with a professional guide accompanying the group throughout. Alcoholic drinks are the one item you pay for separately if you want them.

It suits travellers who want a food-focused overview of the city with a guide to themselves, including families, since pushchairs are fine and infant seats are available. It does not suit wheelchair users, as the listing states the tour is not wheelchair accessible.
