Reviews
It is a wonderful tour and it is all of eight hours. Be prepared to walk but that’s not a problem if the weather is great as it is in February. Our guide, Sophia, was amazing!
I booked a last minute Food tour with the company and met some of the energetic, easy going bunch of people I've met during my solo trip here in Medellin. The tour guide, Toto was energetic, passionate and proud of the city he grew up in and you can see it in the way he explains what and how the food was made and it's significance to the people of Medellin. Ended the tour/night with laughter; definitely a tour to remember ☺️ Thanks Toto!
German was an excellent guide. His energy, passion, knowledge and care were unlimited. Thanks for a great tour!
