Great food and great conversation. The tour was not rushed, and each stop had something different. I especially liked learning about the paisa tradition behind the dishes. It was private, comfortable and very tasty.
Peter J DenmarkA delicious way to understand Medellin. The guide took us to simple, authentic places and helped us try food we would not have ordered by ourselves. The fruit tasting was a nice surprise. Very generous portions, so skip breakfast.
Hannah R GermanyCome hungry! This food tour was one of our favorite experiences in Medellin. We tried local fruits, arepas, mondongo and bandeja paisa. Our guide knew the places well and explained the story behind the dishes. It felt local and fun.
