10/10 Absolutely amazing 🤩
This food tour was hands down one of the highlights of my trip! Every detail was perfectly thought out — from the variety of stops to the delicious flavors, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The host Leo was incredibly warm, welcoming, and so knowledgeable about the local food, culture, and history. She made this experience very special. I discovered flavors I never would have found on my own, I’ll definitely be recommending this to anyone visiting Colombia — and I will 100% do it again when I come back.

Amazing very personal and intimate tour with a guide who's passion for Colombia, food and Medellin shone through from minute 1 to the end. We were guided through a local, incredibly authentic fruit market. Leonor had everything prepared, information sheets for the things we would try, all the required utensils, bags for waste, salt, honey - she thought of everything. It was topped off by some of the best chicharron I have had. Much better than the usual Medellin menu del dia fare.

Amazing tour of Colombian food, provided by enthusiastic local cook!
We had a brilliant food tour provided by Leonor. Her enthusiasm and love for Colombian food was clear, and her excitement from start to finish made made it a really enjoyable experience. It was really intimate and private. We explored the local fruit market and were introduced to several new fruits, some of which we had never heard of. We finished the morning with a great typical Colombian lunch of bean soup and chicharron with various sides. All in all, a great food tour and would highly recommend! Gracias Leonor!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
A Taste of Colombia Medellin Market Tour and Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does A Taste of Colombia Medellin Market Tour and Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does A Taste of Colombia Medellin Market Tour and Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medellín is not rushed.
Is A Taste of Colombia Medellin Market Tour and Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule A Taste of Colombia Medellin Market Tour and Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is A Taste of Colombia Medellin Market Tour and Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book A Taste of Colombia Medellin Market Tour and Lunch?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medellín can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does A Taste of Colombia Medellin Market Tour and Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medellín within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Medellín?
+
On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half-Day Coffee Tour: From the Seed to the Cup, Farm & roastery, Private Guatape & Coffee Farm Tour: The Two Must do in One Day. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Medellín?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Medellín?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
