So much more than food - My wife and I had a fantastic experience with Sara as our guide. She picked us up at our hotel and took us to a local market to try exotic Colombian fruit. We had never tasted anything like it. We then headed to Sabaneta, a very charming part of Greater Medellin. We went to several small restaurants and tried various types of Colombian food. It was delicious and we felt fine the next day! However, the real highlight of the tour was Sara’s knowledge and engaging, friendly personality. She shared insights about history, culture, local life and even local plants. Thank you, Sara, for a truly memorable day. We look forward to our next tour with you.

Do it it!!! - Great experience. Received confirmation prior to the tour date and updates in the day of as there was a slight delay due to traffic. Very good communication.!!! The tour was informative and there was plenty of food and drink. Andres made accommodations for some of the food preferences of our group and really went out of his way to give us a great experience!!! It wad nice to get out of the city and see how locals live. We had a great time and highly recommend the tour!!!

Awesome experience. - We just completed a Private Medellin Food Tour with Erica as our guide. We had an absolutely amazing time with Erica. Her english was perfect, she had a great sense of humor, and was able to provide us full details snd history about the food we sampled. She was also willing to share some of here family history so we had a better understanding of the culture here in Colombia. Would highly recommend.

Great - Sara was great, it was really nice to get away from the touristy areas and hang out in the neighborhood and eat local food. Sara did a great job with explanations and context for the area and Colombia in general

Medellin Day trips is the best tour company! - Erika was an absolutely amazing tour guide! She is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and full of energy—it was clear she truly loves what she does. The city tour was fascinating, and the food tour in Sabaneta that followed was fantastic and truly authentic. We got to try so many local favorites, from chocolo, crispy bunuelos and empanadas (which were seriously to die for) to morcilla sausages and refreshing sugarcane juice. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and Erika made the experience both fun and meaningful. This was easily a highlight of our trip, and I highly recommend Medellin Day trips! Excellent service & attention to detail.

Amazing guide and experience - Wow Erika gave us the best tour! She was so accommodating to one of us being vegetarian and made sure to find alternatives everywhere. She explained the food and the culture along the way. She also gave us lots of tips for the rest of the trip, such as restaurants in our area to visit and which tours to take. The food was also amazing! So much food. Definitely don’t eat before.

A Tasty Introduction to Medellín - Our private food tour with Erika was amazing! We booked it for our first night in Medellín, and it was an excellent introduction to the city, its people, and its cuisine. We had a variety of delicious local foods, including some of the most amazing arepas with cheese, buñuelos, empanadas, tasty sausages, and so much more! If she asks you if you want to try the limonada de coco, make sure to answer yes! Erika herself was an absolute pleasure to be around. Warm and joyful, she made us feel instantly welcome in Colombia. Can't recommend enough!

Amazing Food Tour Experience - Andres is very knowledgeable about his country. He took us to some of the best local places around. The food offered was excellent and truly authentic. He takes his time and explains not only how the food is made but also about the surrounding area you would walk through. He is very hospitable and makes you feel right at home. Would definitely use Andres again for another tour. 100/100
