Cooking Class In A Real Restaurant At Old City

Carmalita_H, Apr 2026

Cooking class

I enjoyed the cooking class. I learned how to make several food items. The instructor and chef were so energetic and fun. We danced! Everything was explained very well. After cooking, we sat done to eat together. The meal was so delicious! I would recommend this cooking class if visiting Cartagena.

Cartagena Rum & Chocolate Experience (1 Hour, Small Group)

JoAna_M, Apr 2026

The perfect 5/5 experience!

This rum and chocolate tasting was an absolute highlight of my trip. Gus went above and beyond to take care of us, so patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and you can feel how passionate he is about what he does. I don’t usually call anything perfect, but this experience was just that! It’s ideal for rum lovers, the rum-curious, and chocolate fanatics alike. Everything was thoughtfully curated, and getting to create our own cocktail at the end was such a fun and unexpected touch. Gus’s passion really shines through and makes the entire experience unforgettable. I can’t wait to come back to check out the bar upstairs and buy some chocolate and cute merch! Highly recommend!

Wonderful cooking class in the walled city in Cartagena

Owar and his assistant made this cooking class an absolute highlight of our time in Cartagena. The kitchen is set inside a gorgeous historic building in the walled city — a beautiful and atmospheric space to spend an afternoon. After a month traveling through Colombia, we’ve tried a lot of food, but this class introduced us to dishes that were still completely new to us. The food preparation was thorough and well-paced, with clear instructions that made every step feel approachable. Owar’s warm personality and his assistant’s attentiveness kept the whole experience fun and engaging. We LOVED the dessert - a definite highlight of an already wonderful meal. We left excited to recreate everything at home for our friends and family. If you’re looking for a hands-on, authentic culinary experience in Cartagena, this is it. Highly recommend! Happy to tweak anything else!

Cartagena Cooking Class with Local Chef (Small Group Experience)

Davina_C, Mar 2026

What a wonderful experience!

Wow this was such a fun morning! Daniel the chef is funny, engaging and a great teacher. He took us to the local market (fair warning, it’s chaotic and you should probably avoid wearing light trouser) - it was authentic and so very cool! We were taken to a spot where Anthony bourdain had eaten previously. We then made such a beautiful and delicious meal which showcased the diversity of cartagena (mote de queso, topside beef and tree tomato as dessert) and were sent the recipes afterwards - we’ll see if I can recreate it at home. Overall a fantastic thing to do.

Cartagena Rum & Chocolate Tasting with Castle Views (Small Group)

Amazing Experience!!

If you landed here, just book! For A person who doesn’t like American chocolate this experience was amazing. The chocolate is nothing like American chocolate. The experience was amazing. The service was great. My friend was actually sick one day and the customer service that we received was beyond this world I would definitely do this activity over and over if given the chance.

This market and cooking...

This market and cooking class was one of the best tours! Maria and her mom opened up their home to teach us Colombian cooking and they were so welcoming and fun. The market was fun to explore and we learned so much about Cartagena. I highly suggest this tour with Maria Angelica and her mom. Thank you!

Specialty Coffee Workshops in Cartagena

Matthew_A, Apr 2025

Comprehensive Coffee Experience

I absolutely loved this! This experience is both a coffee tasting (of various artisanal shops around the old city) and a verbal lesson on the history and cultivation process of coffee in colombia. I thought it was a very all-encompassing experience that left me with a far greater understanding of coffee and colombian culture. The coffe shops are super cool and the coffee itself was great at each stop. I’ve never been coffee tasting before so for me, I was able to work on refining my palate. Sofi, my guide is also so sweet, knowledgeable and accomodating. Would highly reccomend for any coffee lovers or anyone who wants to learn more!
