Wonderful tour! - Amazing way to start our time in this beautiful city! We had plantains with cheese,, the most amazing fruit juices, fresh ceviche and much more. Throughout the tour our wonderful guide, Raffe, told us the history of the city and showed us lesser known quaint areas. Highly recommend!

Loved it! - We are so happy that we booked this tour. Rafael was amazing and we got to experience authentic Colombian cuisine that we may not have stumbled upon on our own. The food was all delicious! Highly recommend this tour and Rafael as a tour guide!

Delicious Local Street Food - Very cool tour that takes you away from the touristy areas and takes you where the locals eat. We had patacones, lulo fruit juice, shrimp cocktail, mango, beer, and arepas. By the end of the tour we were so full. Our guide Nicanor did a good job.

Happy Stomach! - Gustavo was kind enough to wait outside our Airbnb to start the tour. He was very social and engaging throughout the tour. He speaks very well English. We tried out the best empanadas Cartagena has to offer. Come with an empty stomach and leave with a very happy one. Gus fed us multiple street food, juices, fruits, etc. Book and ask for Gus to be your guide.

Loved it! - Our tour guide Nico was amazing!! He brought us to places where we could connect with locals and we enjoyed the food. He was very engaging and passionate about
Colombia. He did everything possible to make us comfortable including holding our belongings while we ate. He also offered to take our pictures. This tour was the highlight of our trip!

We were excited to take a... - We were excited to take a food tour to experience tastes and treats. Our guide seemed to wing it choosing some starve stops including a dirty bodega to stop for beer. We declined that stop. He mentioned tasting fruits and Columbian ice cream but that never happened. He was sweet but did not seem well trained

“PRIVATE” food tour with 12 people! - Let’s start by setting up expectations with the title of the tour: Private Food Tour at $70/person.
We met our tour guide and there are other 9 people, which made us a group of 12. A PRIVATE tour of 12.
Reminder: There’s absolutely no where in the VIATOR page where they say “Private group can be up to X persons”, which makes you believe it’s only you and your party.
Other people in our group were frustrated with this as well.
The guide Rafael was doing his best, but with such a big group and the noisy streets of Cartagena, it just was impossible to hear what he was trying to say.
I called the Agency several times and no one would answer. After a while, they responded asking if I could come back tomorrow for a private tour. Well, too late. When you’re in Cartagena, you book a different tour every day. But I asked for part of the money back and never gave a response.
Make sure you understand that “street food” means you will be going to street food trucks. Not hidden gem (simple) restaurants.
The ad also says “included soft or alcoholic drinks”. Someone from our group finally decided to speak up and said: Our family wants a beer! The tour said: I’m only authorized to give you water - but he did buy us beer in the end.
So I’m sorry to give a bad review but everything here was wrong from beginning to end. And I feel $70 is way over priced for what’s delivered.
