Street Food Tour in Cartagena

Jessica_S, Jul 2026

Five Stars Thanks to Mercedes!

The tour was easy to find, even though we arrived a few minutes late. The company communicated with us beforehand about exactly where to meet, and everything was clear and well organized. The entire team was incredibly kind and welcoming. Our guide, Mercedes, was absolutely the best! Not only did she lead us through the city to enjoy a variety of delicious local bites, but she also shared the history and culture behind each place we visited. Mercedes is truly a gem. Her warm personality made us feel welcome from the moment we met her. She kept our stomachs full of amazing food while also giving us countless recommendations throughout Cartagena, from the best places to dance salsa to what to wear for different excursions. I 100% recommend taking this tour with Mercedes if you have the chance. Starting our trip with this experience was one of the best decisions we made. Felipe was also a wonderful help throughout the tour, and together they made the experience fun, informative, and memorable. Our entire group had an amazing time!

Great ride!

Our arrival and pickup at the airport was very smooth. Our driver, Edwin, contacted me via WhatsApp the day before to confirm my booking and provided me with details of the pickup. Edwin made sure I knew exactly how to navigate the airport and led me directly to the pickup spot where he was waiting. On the ride to my accommodations, Edwin gave a little tour of the city and offered recommendations for activities. I highly recommend this experience!

Excellent tour

Rebecca was my guide; she was very attentive to my needs when I told her I wasn’t feeling too well so we walked at a relatively good pace and she kept asking me if I needed to sit down or water etc. she explained all the history of Cartagena in great detail and answered all my questions. She also gave me recommendations for restaurant and anything else she thought I could enjoy. Definitely worth booking this experience.

Brunch And Paint in a secret rooftop

Hannah_S, Jun 2026

Fun experience, great instructor, good painting

I have done many of these over the years and in general I enjoy them but it is about the experience not the finished product. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful and actually provided information on perspective and shading which I appreciated to improve the painting. Both he and our translator were friendly, helpful and attentive. Enjoyed the other participants as well as mimosas. Highly recommend. Very happy I did this and would book another experience with them!

Raul went above and beyond to make sure we were safely picked up and returned. He is so very knowledgeable about Colombian history and it shows. He personally took us around many shops to get linen and specific souvenirs, and made sure we got to the desired restaurant to eat a great meal at Mare. Will definitely book with him again

Half-Day Tour to Totumo Mud Volcano from Cartagena

Angeleah_M, Mar 2026

Perfect Unique Experience

This was the perfect bizarre/unique experience that my boyfriend and I were looking for. Our guide, Milton gave us good tips and explained how the process would work beforehand. After we got off the bus, we climbed a ladder and waited in a small line to get into the mud volcano. The volcano fits about 15 people. When you’re in the volcano, it feels like you are floating. At the top of the volcano, there are some kind locals who will take pics of you while you are in the volcano, give massages, and help you in and out. Then, you can get into a nearby lake and fully rinse off. Some other locals down there will help. After getting rinsed off, you can enjoy your arepa and drink before heading back. We had such a fun experience! Some Caveats: I probably would not take children under 14 because it may seem a bit overwhelming having random strangers touch them. Bring cash to tip the locals and to buy other food or drinks. This is how they make their living so be respectful. The steps getting up to the volcano are slippery and wide so be careful.

Cartagena, CO: Sunset Skyline Bay Tour on a Pirate Boat + Drinks

Avni_R, Mar 2026

Perfect experience!

This was an excellent family experience! The crew kept checking in on us to refill our (delicious) drinks, and were helpful with our stroller. Our son was picked for the pirate fight, and the costumes/fireworks made it the highlight of his whole trip. The same boat also offered a day trip to Tierra Bomba, which was a perfect pace for our young children as compared to other jam-packed itineraries. The owners and crew were thoughtful in shortening/extending timelines based on our interest in each activity, and shared stories to increase our understanding of the area and its history. They even offered antinausea medication when my husband felt seasick. We enjoyed the stories, care, and companionship from the crew members on board, and would highly recommend both the sunset cruise and the day trip for families. They were the highlights of our time in Cartagena.
