Tasty and fun tour - Come with an empty stomach as you will get to sample a good variety of tasty street food. Our guide Santiago was very friendly, personable, and took the time to get to know everyone and share with us all sorts of interesting information about the neighbourhood. We are in our 40s and don't like to party, but this experience allowed us to appreciate the party environment of the neighbourhood at a nice relaxed pace that didn't feel overwhelming. Having a savvy local with a lot of street smarts made us feel much more comfortable and welcome. Thanks Santiago!!

Great tour, great guide! - Great tour! 2nd year in a row I did same tour with Santiago, but with my family this time. He's an excellent guide and gives good advice about other things you may be interested in. Loved the rooftop bar and the walk getting there. Santiago told great stories about artwork we saw on the way and its history.

Great Food with a Great Guide - We did this tour our first night in Medellin and are so happy that we did! We were in a small group with our guide Santiago. He took us all over the neighborhood explaining way more than food. By the end of the tour we were comfortable with where to eat in El Poblado and how to get there. Santiago was very patient, knowledgeable, and well known at our food stops. My husband has a specific food allergy and Santiago went out of his way to ensure that he could get a taste of everything. I was so grateful for his attention to detail. Also the food was great to try!! We did not leave hungry. Book this tour if you want to get a good feel for El Poblado, Columbian cuisine, and meet some amazing people in your group.

Recommend - I really enjoyed those tour. Our tour guid, Santiago, was really nice and the food was amazing. He is from Medellin, so I can tell he is passionate to show tourists around his city. I will definitely say, don’t eat all day because it is a lot of food

You are better of doing... - You are better of doing your own tour and walking around. The guide asked us to arrive 10-15 minutes early and then arrived after the starting time. Then proceeded to wait 15 minutes for someone that didn’t show up. The foods we tried were not the authentic Colombian street food I was expecting and was greasy fried fast food. Also, the host was flirting with the baristas and on his phone during the tour. This tour also mentions rooftops/bars but we only visited one rooftop for maybe 15 minutes?? You’re better off doing your own tour
