Phenomenal experience with David in Comuna 13. He gave a great overview of the area's history, including its recent renaissance. In addition to experiencing the lively concentration of artists and food vendors, you'll also take the cable car, an addition to the Medellin metro that has played a critical role in connecting the hillside comunas to the rest of the Aburra Valley. Was definitely one of the highlights of my trip.…

12 adults traveled to Medellin in June 2022. I worked with Lena Cruz. At all times she was fast in responding to my questions and was professional. David was our food tour guide and we all loved him. He was patient, informative and easy to work with. We did 2 tours. One was the Medellin food tours and the other was the coffee farm tour. The street food we tasted was excellent!!! Do not miss going on the coffee farm tour. It was great!! The couple were so very friendly and we all learned so much. They provided coffee and a slice of cake. Later in the tour we had a glass of diced fresh fruit that was excellent! GREAT tours!!…

David was excellent! There are so many fruits that we had never seen before that we got to try and they were all delicious. He was extremely informative, fun, and easy to talk to. Great experience.

This tour was great! Seeing Envigado with locals was a treat - going beyond the city limits of Medellin allows for a view of a non-touristy, vibrant area that may otherwise be missed. David and Alejandro are both extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The different foods and fruits they introduced to us were all delicious. I hands down recommend this to anyone especially anyone who wants to have a fun, educational and local experience!! Thank you!…

We were fortunate to be paired with David for our walking food tour of Envigado. It was one of our best experiences on a long trip to Colombia. He grew up in the neighborhood so is a true local, we visited so many amazing spots and learned so much about the local cuisine and the history of the area, and more broadly Colombia. Not only that he is just a lovely person. Highly recommend!…
