“I must admit, I did think this tour was a bit pricey at first, but you really do get your money’s worth! Not only was Álvaro a knowledgeable guide, he also made sure I left with a full belly and even some souvenirs! I had no idea the amount of historical significance this market holds for the Afro-Caribbean population in Colombia! It also inspired me to change my plans and take a day trip to Palenque!”

Bike Tour in Bogota Historical Sites and Fruit Market

3.Bike Tour in Bogota Historical Sites and Fruit Market

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 171 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $20

See Bogotá by bike on a 4 to 5-hour tour through historic squares, street art, Paloquemao Market, coffee, fruit tasting, and tejo.

“The bikes were in excellent shape. Even the tires were purposely underinflated just a little to help cushion some of the bad roads on the streets of Bogota. The guide was fun and knowledgeable about the city. We visited Bolivar Plaza, a coffee roaster to learn how the coffee is made, a large fruit and meat market, and other popular areas around the city. This trip hardly cost anything but you got to see so many different site that the value was unbelievable. Total time was about 4 or 5 hours. I highly recommend this trip to others!”

“This was the best experience I had in Cartagena. My husband and I just got back last night and we are still talking about this tour. Before booking I read all the reviews on Viator and Trip Advisor. They deserve (and am pretty sure they received) 5 stars across the board. Angel, his wife Maria and his daughter Maria Angelica were so welcoming and wonderful. Angel and Maria Angelica were our guides in the Bazurto Market and made sure to keep us safe, informed and fed! We stopped to enjoy some breakfast, delicious fresh juices and even some fresh fruit. All while buying ingredients for our lunch. After the market…”

Shared Tour of Colombian Exotic Fruit at Paloquemao Market

12.Shared Tour of Colombian Exotic Fruit at Paloquemao Market

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 20 reviews · 3 hours · from $47

Taste 15 Colombian fruits at Bogotá’s Paloquemao Market, meet local vendors, and learn the culture behind Colombia’s remarkable produce.

“We were served very small amounts of fruit and only a tiny portion of what is available on the market. The fruits were cut in many tiny pieces and each tour member recieved only one small bite. We paid 170000 cop per person for three hours but the entire tour lasted less then 2 hours. What you can see on youtube videos about such tours, namely that you recieve entire fruits doesn't apply here. The entire "fruit tour business" must have become quite scammy. The tour guide seemed to be nice though.”

“I researched booking classes with several different companies, but Cartagena Cooking School was the only company that didn't charge extra for being a solo traveler. I very much appreciate that. It's holy week, so it was incredibly busy at the market, but the guides were knowledgeable about not just the market, but Cartagena in general. I would not want to try to navigate the market without a guide. It's crowded and it would be very easy to get lost. I wound up being the only person booked for the day, so I actually got a private tour. We started with the market tour, then we went back to the cooking…”
