    Local Medellin food at its best.

    Andres was very professional and picked us up right on time in Poblado. We appreciated Andres knowledge of the city and took us to areas of Medellin that we would not have gone. Food selections were well thought out and delicious. Andres also adhered to our preferred timeline. Please book a tour with him. You will not be disappointed.

    Response from the operator: Dear R3160AUbernardol, Thank you very much, great to know you have absolutely enjoyed this custom gastronomic tour with unlimited samples. We would love to have you back soon, please keep us posted! Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services SAS

    Amazing guide - awful description.

    While our tour guide was amazing and filled with knowledge about the city, its history, & its food (which was delicious) - we learned far more than was expected from him for this being a food tour. However, the actual food tour did not remotely resemble what is described in this ad for it. 3 stops, no cobblestone park, no dessert & a lot of time driving, & definitely a street food tour. 5 stars for the guide, 1 star for the company on it’s transparency for what the tour actually is.

    Response from the operator: Dear Adam_F, Many thanks for the feedback, we keep working to take this into consideration so does not happen to future users. Many thanks again! Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services®

    Amazing food tour!

    Our food tour was an amazing experience. All because David made it wonderful. We went to the Plaza Minorista tried a bunch of different kinds of exotic and delicious fruits. David was very kind and informative with all the information needed. We also went to Envigado to have a yummy topical Colombian lunch. Not only was an amazing tour but also have the opportunity to explore the beautiful city.

    Response from the operator: Dear R7274MDisabelm, Thank you so much, so pleased to know it has been an amazing experience during this private food tour. We really look forward to your soon return. Feel free to use promo code MCS and save 10% on future bookings. Best regards, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services®.

    Medellín Food Tour with private transportation: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.

    How much does Medellín Food Tour with private transportation cost?

    +

    Prices start at $159 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 Medellín Food Tour with private transportation take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Medellín Food Tour with private transportation worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 30 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 Medellín Food Tour with private transportation?

    +

    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 Medellín Food Tour with private transportation suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Medellín Food Tour with private transportation?

    +

    Around 11 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Medellín Food Tour with private transportation 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 Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. 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.

    What is included in Medellín Food Tour with private transportation?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Unlimited food samples; Visit to 3 different venues for option selected; Local bilingual guide; and beverages. Not included: Gratuities; Alcoholic drinks; and Food to take home. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Medellín Food Tour with private transportation include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 159 listed pickup locations in and around Medellín. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Medellín Food Tour with private transportation offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Medellín Food Tour with private transportation?

    +

    +
