Alejandro was brilliant - very knowledgeable about the history of the area so we learned a lot. We didn’t know what to expect but would 100% recommend this experience.

Would recommend the food tour, especially with Alejandro.VerificadaMathieu M2024-02-27Delicious Food Tour was the Best Delicious Food Tour was the Best If you’re hungry, this tour is for you. We did a Street Food Tour with La Mesa and Sebastián was our guide. It was a walking tour in a small, cute town near Medellin. Our guide told us about the tradition of the food and the products in every shop we ran into. He bought different stuff for us to taste. We started with empanadas for breakfast and tried weird sodas from Colombia. Later we went to a market fruit shop where we tried dozens of Colombian fruit new for us. We tasted different types of bananas, passion fruits, mangoes, and other tropical things we didn't know. Our guide was very good at explaining everything. Then we tried different juices from exotic fruit. After a quick spin through town, we went to a traditional restaurant where we shared a few Colombian meals. We drank a Colombian shot at a football-themed bar, it tasted like Greek ouzo. Finally, we ended the tour with the best churros we ever had, from a small cart on the street. I deeply reccomend this experience to discover Colombian food. Five Stars! ThanksVerificadaGrant H2024-02-21Alejandro is the best guide! Alejandro was very knowledgeable and personable.
