    Street food walking tour

    This was a very fun and informative street food tour! I enjoyed the foods chosen and learned more about Colombia cuisine. We saw some street artwork and it was neat to learn about the art and the meaning behind it. Highly recommend! Santiago was my guide and did a great job showing me the area!

    Overall, Santiago was a...

    Overall, Santiago was a great tour guide. Nobody else showed up for the tour except my husband and I so we actually got a private tour and it was very nice. My husband and I had already had a few bites to eat before the tour which I highly recommend you DO NOT do because you’ll be trying a lot of food on the tour. The only reason I gave this rating is because multiple times on the tour I felt a bit of pressure to purchase additional things and I was not too happy about that. If people already paid for a tour they don’t expect to have to pay more. At that point they just want to sit back relax and get their moneys worth. The pressure of buying more things seems to be a common theme in Medellin. Also, I thought we’d be rooftop hopping but we only did 1 rooftop so that was a bit disappointing. Other than that, my husband and i got to see a couple new spots in Provenza that had pretty cheap prices so that was nice and I finally got to see the rooftop of Masaya which had been on my bucket list since the first time I visited Medellin. Santiago himself was an awesome guide, very personable and his English was very good as well. It felt like we were just hanging with a friend. Thanks Santiago for a great night on behalf of both of us.

    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.

    Street Food, Bars, and Rooftops in Poblado with a Local: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Street Food, Bars, and Rooftops in Poblado with a Local cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 Street Food, Bars, and Rooftops in Poblado with a Local take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Street Food, Bars, and Rooftops in Poblado with a Local worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 23 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 Street Food, Bars, and Rooftops in Poblado with a Local?

    +

    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 Street Food, Bars, and Rooftops in Poblado with a Local suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Street Food, Bars, and Rooftops in Poblado with a Local?

    +

    Around 8 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Street Food, Bars, and Rooftops in Poblado with a Local 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 Street Food, Bars, and Rooftops in Poblado with a Local?

    +

    Included: Snacks. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

PLEASE DON'T GO TO SAN JOSÉ CHURCH IN DOWNTOWN. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    Is Street Food, Bars, and Rooftops in Poblado with a Local wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
