Amazing way to experience Cartagena beyond the usual tourist sites - This is one of the most unique tours I've ever done--so much so that I did it twice, once in 2019 when I was last in Cartagena and again this year with my entire family. What I love about this tour is how it feels like it captures the local experience--it's outside of the walled city, and with Discover Cartagena to guide us and introduce us to the local vendors, it couldn't have been a better way to venture outside of the main tourist area. The tour was executed flawlessly, from the short bus ride to the various stops, to ensuring that all members of the tour were accounted for. There's no way I could have done something like this on my own, so grateful to our amazing tour guide for showing us a different side of Cartagena.

A taste of the local Cartagena - This was a fantastic tour with Discover. I went with my family of 9, ages 12-74 and there was something in it for everyone. It was truly an experience. We tried lots of delicious food, met a local artist legend, and learned some champeta moves! Above all, this tour got us outside the walled city and tourist area into the local zone. Highly recommend, just know that it gets very hot and smelly in the market!

an unforgettable tour of Cartagena's old marketplace - Tne tour of the old market with Maria provided us an amazing view of the gritty underbelly of Cartagena that only locals ever experience. We saw and sampled fruits, vegetables, fish, and meats, made even more special by meeting and talking with the vendors, all good friends of Maria. Add a custom made poster from a renowned artist and dancing lessons that finished with a cold beer that topped off the bustling cacophony of sights, smells, and tastes. Maria gave us an unforgettable experience that we'll remember always.

Bazuro Market fantastic - absolutely a fantastic tour. I ended up with 2 host because the other people they had booked was a no show. Both gentlemen were great, being a solo female, they were constantly watching out for me, and making sure I was taking care of. They taught me so much about the history, dance, drink, food...Would definitely recommend for others.

The REAL market tour - Jesus David and his assistant were amazing! Very knowledgeable and passionate! Highly recommend! You really see parts of the market that you wouldn't normally. You feel safe and meet amazing people!

Cool and unique! Jesus is a great host. - I had a great time! Would recommend this tour to anyone that wants to experience an authentic Cartagena market where locals go shop for essentials! Our guide Jesus was lovely and helped us get the most of the experience as possible by trying locals fruits, introducing us to different generations of Colombian music and bringing us to Anthony Bourdain’s favourite restaurant in Cartagena. Keep in mind, from the moment you enter to the moment you leave there is lots of food for sale, including raw fish. I found that once the tour was over the smell of it lingered quite heavily on me and in my clothes (understandably) so if you do the tour I would suggest making time to go back to your accommodations to change and shower or else you will smell like fish the rest of the day. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would suggest this to anyone that wants to explore local culture a bit beyond the beaten path!

Best tour - Absol utely the best culture tour. Excellent guide Jesus. Learned so much about the market, food, and a dance lesson

Best culture tour - Absolutely an amazing tour. There was suppose to be another group of five that never showed up. My guide was Jesus he spoke English, and Brian was with us another guide... So impressed at all I seen. I got to try new fruits, meet some locals, have a sign made for me, dance lessons by Brian, learned so much history about the music, food and dance, we shared drink, and and ate in restaurant made famous by Anthony Bourdain. To learn about the Columbian culture this is the tour and the best guides

Abandoned in the market by discover Cartagena - Food poisoning and trip ruined. We should have been more careful considering the heat and lack of ventilation but we definitely did not expect To spend our vacation this way. Our guide was Dismissive when we shared concerns and ended up just walking away and leaving us alone in the market. Another Scam in Colombia

Harassment - Emotional distress and threats from this business. After trying to steal from us the owner has made multiple attempts to cause further harm to me. Her obsession with not allowing any truthful reviews that are negative has led to us never wanting to go near Cartagena again. Glad we have free speech laws here.
