Highlights
  • Sabaneta - After we pick you up at your place we are heading south of Medellin.

In this beautiful colorful and colonial city we visit different food stands just to pick the best ones to try out.

Our first snack is the Chocolo Arepa.

We are going to try the Chocolo arepa, which is a different type than the most common arepa, the white Arepa that you probably tried already.

Chocolo Arepa is sweeter and has a different taste compared to the regular one, also more difficult to find in supermarkets.

Some of our guests find the Chocolo Arepa similar to the Pancake, let’s see what you think when you try it.

Our second snack is a buñuelo: A fried dough ball.

This snack is popular in many other countries but all of them have their own version of it.

Our Buñuelo is made with cheese and the surface is usually crunchy, very common throughout the year but specially on christmas time.

The place where we are going to try our Buñuelo is very traditional and makes huge and the most delicious ones.

Additional Information

Welcome to the most delicious and complete food tour in Medellin.

Our Food tour in Medellin during December 2023 and first week of January 2024 is around the Christmas lights.

The atmosphere is amazing and it’s extremely colorful and beautiful with all these lighted figures adorning the main square of the town.

Just be aware that during these christmas celebrations there will be more people around, so if you don’t like crowds this is probably not a good time of the year to do this tour.

In this tour, we try the most popular street food and local delicacies eaten daily by the people of Medellin as well as our local liquor and typical meals from our region.

You will also have a taste of how our night life is since we have a shot in a traditional bar.

We have planned this tour so thoroughly that you will have an opportunity to try most of what local cuisine has to offer, without having indigestion.

Book now, we promise you it will be an unforgettable great experience.

  • Not recommended for veggies or vegetarians
  • Most of the meals contain beef, pork, cheese and some have gluten.

Great walking food tour - We had a great time on this walking food tour. There was a special festival that was occurring that day so the company messaged to rearrange the time so that we could have the best experience. Sara picked us up and was fun, energetic, and professional. The places we went to taste the food were all so good. True authentic Colombian food and flavors. I loved that Sara was a true local- it made the tour even better!

Two Thumbs Up - The food tour was amazing. Our tour guide, Laura, was energetic and enthusiastic. The food chosen was unique to Columbia and it was nice that it was a private tour.

Medellin Street Food and Drinks - Perfect Tour - He had an amazing experience. We didn’t book ahead of time and there was no availability on the day we wanted to do the food tour. However, the company was so accommodating and worked so hard to get a tour guide for us. We are so thankful they did because our food tour was not only delicious but the perfect ending to our trip to Medellin. We ate delicious foods and learned so much about the Medellin Culture through our great guide. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellin. We were picked up from our hotel and driven to a more local area called Sabaneta where we got to eat great treats, try Aguardiente and a refreshing Refajo. The night culminated with a Picada antioqueña and a refajo, we were so happy and our bellies full.

Excellent time! - Our favorite tour we did in Medellin!!! We saw parts of the city we would never have seen otherwise, really colorful authentic old school Colombian neighborhoods with families out and about. We tried lots of food and drinks we had never seen before, even though we had been to Medellin for a couple weeks.
