Highlights
  • Sabaneta - After we pick you up at your place we are heading south of Medellin.

In this beautiful colorful and colonial city we visit different food stands just to pick the best ones to try out.

Our first snack is the Chocolo Arepa.

We are going to try the Chocolo arepa, which is a different type than the most common arepa, the white Arepa that you probably tried already.

Chocolo Arepa is sweeter and has a different taste compared to the regular one, also more difficult to find in supermarkets.

Some of our guests find the Chocolo Arepa similar to the Pancake, let’s see what you think when you try it.

Our second snack is a buñuelo: A fried dough ball.

This snack is popular in many other countries but all of them have their own version of it.

Our Buñuelo is made with cheese and the surface is usually crunchy, very common throughout the year but specially on christmas time.

The place where we are going to try our Buñuelo is very traditional and makes huge and the most delicious ones.

Two Thumbs Up - The food tour was amazing. Our tour guide, Laura, was energetic and enthusiastic. The food chosen was unique to Columbia and it was nice that it was a private tour.

Medellin Street Food and Drinks - Perfect Tour - He had an amazing experience. We didn’t book ahead of time and there was no availability on the day we wanted to do the food tour. However, the company was so accommodating and worked so hard to get a tour guide for us. We are so thankful they did because our food tour was not only delicious but the perfect ending to our trip to Medellin. We ate delicious foods and learned so much about the Medellin Culture through our great guide. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellin. We were picked up from our hotel and driven to a more local area called Sabaneta where we got to eat great treats, try Aguardiente and a refreshing Refajo. The night culminated with a Picada antioqueña and a refajo, we were so happy and our bellies full.

Excellent time! - Our favorite tour we did in Medellin!!! We saw parts of the city we would never have seen otherwise, really colorful authentic old school Colombian neighborhoods with families out and about. We tried lots of food and drinks we had never seen before, even though we had been to Medellin for a couple weeks.

Sabaneta Street Food - Sarah was an awesome tour guide - she not only taught me about authentic local food but also showed me around the quaint neighborhood of Sabaneta. Great experience to get away from the “touristy” Poblado, the local vibe was great!

Experience the rich culture of Antioquia with e the best tour guide, Laura. - We had such a great time going to Antioquia with Laura. Laura was able to talk to us about the history behind the beautiful buildings and what it represented to the locals. She was able to answer every question I had. (Side note: I had a lot lol) Laura has a gift of being able to connect with everyone and includes you in that connection. The bandeja paisa at the restaurant she took us too was 10/10. She did such a great job that we booked other tours with her. She does amazing at her job and my husband and I feel so lucky to have gotten her as a tour guide. You will be in great hands with Laura as your tour guide.
