Delicious street food - The food we tried was delicious, the only thing we didn't like were the arepas, we defenitelly like other ones better but the rest if the food was sooo good! I'd also really recommend trying coconut lemonade and the shrimp cocktail, ohh my goodness! Can't wait to go back there tomorrow! Mireya went over interesting stories about a few places around town and she went above and beyond to answer our questions. Thank you very much Mireya! Nos vemos la próxima 😉

Discovering street food in Cartagena with the best guide....Angui ena - Angie is an exceptional guide in Cartagena! His food tour was spectacular, and his passion for food and local culture was reflected in every detail. Angie took us to discover unique flavors and gave us an unforgettable experience, even though we had arrived in Cartagena for several days, you can't compare enjoying a tour like this, because you learn a lot. Thank you, Angie, for sharing your knowledge and love of food with us!

Would recommend to anyone wanting to experience the taste of Colombia! - Me and my family went a few days ago and I can say it was a lot of fun! We stopped at a few spots to try a bunch of local street food! Everyone is really friendly and even the locals showed us how some food was made as well as our guide Willy. The food was also really tasty and you get to pick and choose what you’d like to try. Overall a good experience and I would recommend! (I took pics of almost everything but two other stops which was the desert at the end and the fish)
