Food experience in Medellín - This was a private tour for us. No other guests and we got Dayana all to ourselves, she was great. From pick up to drop off we felt welcomed, safe, and comfortable. Many explanations of local culture and food security for the last 50 or so years. She said she was eighty, but she's 20-something with the knowledge of an eighty-year-old. Lots of knowledge of the history that shaped food growth in Colombia. The intertwined history of 6, the US govt, and corporate interest (GMO) that shapes food production, tourism, and farming to this day. Excellent tour. Many tastings and a wonderful lunch to round out the day. We had lots of fun visiting stalls at the market and eating many fruits. The lunch was a great way to finish out the day. I recommend this tour

One of the best experiences you can have in the city - I have done a lot of tours here in Medellin and this was definitely one of the best! My tour guide Jacobo, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I learned a lot about the city, its culture and way too much information about exotic fruit! I actually enjoyed riding the metro, getting to know the people in the market and the lunch at the restaurant was exceptional. I highly recommend this tour!

Delicious food all around - Thanks to our local guide Sebastian we had a great time exploring the market. The market area is located in the middle of the city center. We booked the private transport option to avoid the tram and make the excursion nice and smooth. First we started with the fruit section and tasted a bunch of exotic stuff we never tried, that was really cool and the variety in Colombia is amazing. Then we checked out the other areas and the traditional products of the region before heading to a lovely small restaurant with the perfect offer and all ingredients straight from the same market. The setting on the market is very special and everything is moving around you which is great and different. Definitely off the beaten track, if booking, ask for Sebastian.

Foodie Tour - Lilliana was a wonderful guide. She started the tour with questions on what we want to get put of the tour and we changed from going downtown (we had gone on another tour earlier) and went to a small community that is quiet and full of rich history. Lilliana is very focused on the importance of how the food is prepared and cleanliness which we appreciated. We ate many different authentic foods.
