5.00The street food was great and focused on Columbian staple food. From breakfast Patacon, to a hearty and brothy beef stew. In addition we tried fresh fruit, a lemonade coffee (dont knock it till you try it) and some of the best bread. Bring an umbrella if you are sensitive to the heat and a water bottle.
Incredible food and history with Dani

5.00My husband and I booked the street food tour in Cartagena and were lucky enough to have Daniela as our guide. Dani did an incredible job balancing the food we were tasting and the history of the city, and we had such a blast with her throughout the tour. There were eight samples, all of pretty big portions for a tour taste. Dani helpfully explained them all and was kind enough to take some photos for us during the tour. Overall we'd highly recommend the tour and Dani specifically!

5.00I really enjoyed this tour . From the start, Liz our guide was great, super friendly and knowledgeable. We encountered really good food during each stop so arrive hungry as everything really is delicious. I normally book food tours when I visit new cities and this tour was easily one of the best . Our group of 8 also got along great which made for some good banter during courses . A really great experience.
