Fun afternoon in Laureles
Lots and lots of food so definitely bring an appetite. You wouldn’t go wrong to share portions and you’ll still be full.

Amazing tour
We did the street fruit tour with David. And let me tell you - IT WAS ASTOUNDING!!! So much fun. SO MUCH FOOD and drinks. He knows so much history and you could tell he was so excited to talk about it and share everything. We even visited a museum/restaurant and tried local drinks (WHICH WERE DELICIOUS BTW).
All I’m saying is, if you’re booking, ASK FOR DAVID. It’s amazing to see someone so passionate about what they do, their history and their culture.

Best food tour in Medellin
Toto was an amazing tour guide and shows a good example of being a kind person. He helped give leftover food to the homeless and helped all the restaurant staff clean up the tables. He was so friendly and informative about the history of each dish we tried & every place we tried was delicious. Would definitely recommend!
