Foodies delight! - Wow. We had the best time on our street food tour of Cartagena. You get to go to NINE different places and try MORE than nine different foods/beverages, with options to buy more along the way. Our tour guide was so informative and knowledgeable about Colombia, her history, and her food. It was the perfect mix of all. We learned so much and had the best time. This tour company also goes out of its way to make sure what you are eating is safe for you and your gringo tummy. As someone who loves going on food tours around the world, this one was great. HIGHLY recommend.

Great food, great tour - I really enjoyed this tour. We got quite a lot of food in my opinion and I enjoyed all of it. The fruit towards the end was possibly my favourite. Daniela, our guide, was fantastic too. She was super helpful, more than happy for questions and in general a very nice person. Would recommend this tour happily.

Amazing Food Experience - Liz was a fantastic guide! She gave us so much information about each dish we ate! There was so much food, it was amazing. You definitely do NOT need to eat before you come…really not at all that day. Everything we ate and drank was an experience. You will not regret this tour. Wear loose clothing, because it does get humid. Be open to trying everything!

So much good food! - Come hungry! My husband and I ended up sharing most of our portions because there’s so much food, which is a great thing! We did a good tour in bogota and they split a portion that would be for 1 person between 4 each stop which was ok but I felt like it could’ve been more for what we paid. This tour was excellent and we learned so much about the history at each stop! A small group is the way to go! The guide was very accommodating and attentive and answered all of our questions! We met new friends and had an amazing experience! This is the food tour to take!!

Wonderful tour - We had a great time on this tour. We sampled about 10 different foods from kiosks and street vendors and it was all delicious. I'm always a little cautious with street food in any country but all good with this one. We tried plantains, sweets, ceviche, pan de bono, coffee with lemonade (this was quite delicious), native fruits and a local beer. Our guide was Nando and he did a great job explaining the history of Cartagena via the food. The price was reasonable for a 3 hour tour and we didn't feel overly stuffed at the end. I absolutely recommend this to any visitor in Cartagena.

Loved it! - This was our second tour with this company and we were lucky enough to get Liz as our guide for both. I would suggest that you have a light lunch because you will be trying a lot of amazing food. We were able to stop at 9 or 10 places. So happy that we did this tour in the beginning of our trip because we were able to go back and eat more of the things that we liked. I got to try alot of things that I normally wouldn't eat.
