Itinerary

Start with 11am pickup at your hotel in Medellin, where you’ll meet a food-loving tour guide for the trip up Las Palmas, a scenic road that winds all the way to the top of the hills around the city.

Travel by private, air-conditioned vehicle, and enjoy the flexibility that this private tour offers, stopping as often as you’d like to photograph the city from above. Upon reaching the summit of the steep hills, continue through the rippling landscape that surrounds Medellin on all sides, visiting a series of places to learn about local dishes, and taste authentic paisa cuisine. Take advantage of your time with a knowledgeable, local guide to chat in between stops, learning about paisa culture, life in Medellin, and Colombian gastronomy.

This tour is a moving feast, and it’s worth bringing an appetite, as the day’s tastings combine to be a hearty lunch. After four hours of sightseeing, snacks, and culinary cultural immersion, return to the city, where this tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel at 3pm.

Not worth the money

Very disappointing. This adventure was basically boring. Carlos was nice but I wouldn't call this a food adventure.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Good day, we bent over backwards to cater to you and your needs. Even letting you go on shopping sprees from shop to shop. This wasn't a shopping tour. Quite frankly we should of charged you for the extra time, but we ate it, just like you ate all of the food on your culinary adventure. We covered all of the towns outside of Medellin, all of the sites, with all of the delicious food and pastries that you indulged in. Furthermore you had full, personalized attention, an Suv with tinted windows and air-conditioning, a private tour, a great tour and tour guide, you ate everything....what else did you expect? We even took your booking considering that it was a late last minute booking. We were completely booked but yet managed to make it happen for you by having our tour guide Carlos come into work on his day off, just for you! We scrambled to make ends meet, when we could have just canceled your tour without any explanation given to you. Amazing...nothing is good enough. No worries. Hasta la vista.
