Great Medellín Food Tour
traceylasz, Mar 2023
Andres was an awesome guide. He shared with us a fabulous cultural culinary tour of Medellín and that includes a delicious visit to the Florez Market and various street foods and food days establishments in several neighborhoods. We loved the foods we tried but even more loved how he explained their significance. Andres is a very skillful guide and such a warm, kind and interesting person. We loved our tour.

Skip if possible, the food was okay nothing great. Wish there would have been better food locations, and tour guide was on the phone a good part of the tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Hi, Luis! We are sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with us. We had a conversation with the guide to obtain a deeper understanding of what happened. That information was combined with your review to identify points for improvement in this tour that we will begin to develop immediately. The main changes will be: (1) Looking for different suppliers to offer more food options. (2) Redefining the product description to avoid any possible misunderstanding. Once again, we want to offer you a sincere apology for what happened. Thanks for taking the time to let us know about your experience because this kind of feedback helps us to improve our services. Cordially, Palenque Tours Team.

Dear Akeem ! We are really happy that you had a great experience with Alba, you are so right about the Colombian food :) We hope you will have the opportunity to share other experiences with us in the future.
Tour guide no-showed

The tour was not very good, as the tour guide no-showed and the tour company did not answer their phone. Very poor experience and reflects badly on Viator.
Response from Host, Oct 2019
Dear Mark, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. It seems that there was a system failure since we never received the e-mail / booking confirmation. Of course we will proceed to an immediate and full refund of the activity and let us know if you need anything else. Hugo
A Tasty Introduction to Medellin Street Food
Derrick_M, Jun 2019
The first thing our guide did when we met was ask where we had already been in Medellin. After that he created our tour around the areas we hadn’t visited. Out of all the tours I’ve been on over the years this was the first time I experienced that type of versatility. It was a nice mix of Medellin history while enjoying some really delicious street food. I’m a big fan of chocolo arepas now. My buddy really enjoyed the empanadas. Our guide had a great personality and provided an assorted history that covered politics, culture, community, and the popular food of the locals that took us all around the city and up into the hills. He also made some recommendations of dishes to try before we left like Bandeja Paisa. Loosen your belt for that one and eat it in the morning. If you’re unsure of what to eat locally and want an easy introduction that will make your stay in Medellin even better then take this tour.
