Unique and rare genuine experience.

5.00This tour went way beyond my expectations! First of all, you get to experience what I felt it was genuine and normally "non touristy" part of Colombia. On top of it, you get to learn a lot about Colombian street football culture, which is huge and top quality! Either you like or not football, the environment is highly engaging! Honestly, the street tournament and the area are in a place I would have never gone to without the guide, and I absolutely loved this experience. It was definitely one of my highlights on Medellin.
A real local experience

5.00I really enjoyed this tour. Even though I’m not a huge football fan, I had such a fun time and found the whole experience really interesting. My favorite part was the atmosphere in the neighborhood and watching the local football tournament, it made everything feel so lively and immersive. The empanadas were also amazing! Everyone was very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It’s a great experience if you want to see a different side of the city and do something unique. I would definitely recommend it!!
Must do for any football fan.

5.00Must-do for any football fan visiting Medellin. David was an incredible guide, you could sense his passion for the game from the first moment we met. The game was super local with us being the only "gringos", and the empanadas were indeed MASSIVE, never seen anything like it... Highly recommend.
