5.00We had a great time touring multiple parts of Cartagena with Legaxy, he explained some of the history of Cartagena as well as the food we tried and was a lot of fun! We really loved the pan de bono and blackberry juice at the 3rd(?) stop but everything was delicious. Definitely skip breakfast before the 10:30am tour. Highly recommend!!
Unforgettable experience!

5.00Alvaro was an awesome tour guide! He’s friendly, personable and knowledgeable. The tour started on time, there were no hiccups. Everything ran smoothly. He even helped one of the guests with their toddler, so if you’re bringing along the little ones, no worries. His English is good so you can understand him very well and vice versa!

5.00Great food tour around the walled city. Did a little bit of walking so I didnt feel so full afterwards. The portions were perfect. Alvaro was great, he combined a bit of history and culture as we walked along and ate.
What a street delight!

5.00Amazing tour! Yauly was an incredible guide, super friendly and very easy to understand. We got to try so many local staples: ceviche, patacon, arepas, and some delicious local fruits. The coffee tasting was also top-notch. Highly recommend this for a genuine taste of the local street food scene!

A chance to experience a different side of Cartagena

4.00This tour was a great opportunity to explore Cartagena beyond the confines of restaurants geared for tourists. The experience was curated to include a variety of common street foods. Our guide, Nando, had a passion for his city and its people. He definitely attempted to instill a sense of the economic struggles that many face in the city. Our group had about 12 people and it was sometimes difficult to hear and understand the tour guide. Overall, this tour was a positive start to our Cartagena experience.
