My boyfriend and I enjoyed our food tour experience. We had the chance to taste local snacks from local vendors which made us feel comfortable and acquainted during our stay. My favorite was the cheese, guava, and corn snack that I forgot the name of. Daniela was our tour guide and was super friendly, informative and easy to find. I highly recommend this tour during your first few days in Cartagena.

Excellent tour full of the different typical foods and drinks of Cartagena. Mafe made the experience very pleasant and took care of all the logistics during the tour as well as adding historical data in each place. Mafe identified himself on WhatsApp before the tour and was super responsible and punctual. Super recommended!!

Super recommended! The experience walking the streets of downtown Cartagena was amazing, as well as trying typical island food and 100% Colombian coffee. The attention of the guides (Dani and Lucho) was excellent, personalized and extremely fun. Cartagena has a special place in my heart and I will definitely return and of course schedule with this amazing agency.
