PLEASE schedule this tour on your 1st day in Cartagena
I should have scheduled this tour on the 1st day of our arrival. Learn from my mistake and don’t skip this tour. A truly authentic experience of Cartagena street food. The Coconut icee at the 1st stop was the perfect beginning of our tour. Not only do you get to try the amazing food and drinks, but you also get to learn about the different neighborhoods of Gethsemeni and the Walled City. Mafi and Christian did an incredible job and spoke English very well. You even have time to take pictures. We were very full at the end of the tour. From coffee to arepas to candies and beer, the best plantains with cheese, it balances sweet and savory. Bring money to buy extras to bring home with you. This tour will not disappoint.

Fantastic way to see the city
What a fantastic experience! Daniela was a lovely guide, I really felt like I was shown authentic, local street food that was not only delicious, but gave me a glimpse of the rich history of Cartagena! Fair warning, it’s a lot of food so don’t have lunch before!

Viator Finds A Way
For the record, Viator and an outside contractor worked together to get us our tour. Viator did not supply the guide, the contractor did and she was absolutely excellent. Viator had to sign our contract over to the contractor because the Viator tour could not locate an English speaking guide. So we took the Spanish speaker and it worked out very well. Angie was phenomenal and the street food was outstanding - arepas, fruit, ceviche, chorizo and beer. What's not to love!

Thanks Wendy!!!

Dancing up a sweat in the best way!
This class was a really fun experience to break up a traditional day of sightseeing! The class is held at the home of the two instructors right in the heart of Getsemani. They were super friendly and made learning all of the dance moves accessible to beginners. Since you’re on the roof, you definitely work up a sweat since Cartagena is super hot. They offered everyone beer, shots of rum, and waters throughout the experience. I appreciated the small group setting too so you could mingle with the other participants easily. If you’re going with a partner is a fun date opportunity to feel a connection together. I wish they took more pictures of the group as we were dancing to have as keepsakes but we still took a group selfie at the end.

Beautiful, colorful intro to Colombia
We enjoyed the absolute best time on this tour with Mario. He contacted us the day before via WhatsApp to ensure he could introduce himself and customize our tour to our interests. We wanted to do more of a street photography tour with some snacks along the way. He delivered that and so so much more. He was able to find the most colorful tapestry of life in Cartagena. We enjoyed Getsamani and the wall city, with historical and cultural commentary along the way. He treated us to wonderfully fresh juices, fruits, arepas and other goodies. We thoroughly enjoyed every piece of this tour, and felt completely safe and comfortable with Mario, knowing that he would get us back to the ship on time. He is an absolute gem of a tour guide - a friend and guide to his beautiful Colombia. Highly recommend this tour to any cruiseship passengers on tight schedules and anyone else. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Wonderful Experience, Fantastic Family
We had an unforgettable experience with Duran Duran Tours during the Bazurto Market & Cooking Class. Our hosts—Angel, Maria, and Maria Angelica—were so warm, welcoming, and kind. They guided us through Bazurto Market, helping us explore the local ingredients used in Colombian cooking.
After the market, they welcomed us into their beautiful home, where we prepared a delicious traditional Colombian meal together. Every step of the experience felt personal and immersive.
What stood out most was getting to spend time with such an amazing and gracious family. We loved hearing about their lives, joking around, learning about their traditions, and sharing such a memorable morning with them. This was one of the absolute highlights of our time in Cartagena—we can’t recommend it enough!

Amazing! I had so much fun.
This was an amazing experience. Daniel was very knowledgeable and the coffee shops that we visited were gorgeous! I would definitely recommend doing this tour as soon as you get to Cartagena because it helps you to familiarize yourself with the city and the different places to visit.
