Our food tour experience

Dani was a wonderful guide! She brought us to a variety of small business to try mom-and-pop colombian foods to support local. She was accommodating to my boyfriends weak stomach from food poisoning (not at all from the tour), and she helped me practice my Spanish. We would definitely Recommend this tour.

Absorb and participate in a rich history

The process was extremely well organized. We received communication from Victor about our pickup and preferences for lunch. When we arrived e we were greeted with music and dance and ate a delicious lunch before going the village and learning about Palenque culture. This was a daily immersive tour and very heartfelt. You can feel the pride, the history, and the resilience in every beat. I’m humbled and honored to have been able to be here and I highly recommend this as a must do experience.

Amazing tour guide — perfect for families!

We had the most incredible private walking tour of Cartagena with Legaxy! He was everything you could want in a guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and so much fun. We toured as a family with our two young kids, and Legaxy kept them completely engaged. His storytelling brought every stop to life, from the Clock Tower and the old walled city to the colorful streets of Getsemani. We learned so much about Cartagena's history and culture. Thank you, Legaxy, for creating such a memorable experience for our family!

Very fun but scary at times. If you have a faint stomach or not good with motion, then this may not be for you. But for the people who like thrill and love a good time it’s worth it. Also be strong enough to jump on & off the boat. Once u attempt to get on or off the boat it still moves so u have to be careful or u will be in the ocean.

Cartagena ATV Tour

Cory_C, July 2026

Amazing experience!

This excursion was a lot of fun! Be prepared to get dirty! Wear clothes and sneakers you don’t mind getting dirty or wet. Also, bring something to cover your head and face. I had two bandannas which worked out perfectly. I was wearing sun glasses but would also recommend Google because it’s a lot of dirty. The lunch was amazing!!! If you want the seafood option, bring 130,000 Colombian pesos ($40 US Dollars). The lunch provided was good but the seafood option was even better! The beach views were amazing as well.

Tour De Palenque, Road to Emancipation.

History & Heart

Romero was an outstanding tour guide—funny, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the history and culture of Palenque come alive and kept the group entertained throughout the day. Although it was extremely hot, this was one of the most educational and rewarding experiences of my trip. The lunch was hands down the best meal of my vacation. Absolutely delicious and tasted like it was cooked with love. It was authentic, homemade, and was a highlight of the entire experience. I also loved browsing the local vendors, who had beautiful souvenirs and plenty of unique items to choose from. The only minor downside was that the air conditioning in the van wasn't working very well because the air wasn't coming through the vents. Even so, it didn't take away from the overall experience. I would absolutely AND highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cartagena.

Excursion to the Rosario Islands with Lunch and Snorkeling

Allison_S, June 2026

Beautiful sailing with attentive crew

Wonderful sailing and attentive crew! Sailed to two anchor points to swim/snorkel. Snorkel gear is provided free of charge just requires an ID hold for collateral. Three lunch options: seafood, chicken or vegetarian all with rice, salad and fruit Drinks were very well priced and tasted good. They only accept card or tap and pay on board. Clean bathrooms! Do keep in mind they do not stop and go ashore anywhere this is strictly a sailing trip. We were happy with this as it allows for a much for relaxing slower paced day

Half-Day Tour to Totumo Mud Volcano from Cartagena

jenny_a, May 2026

Fun activity.

It was a fun activity. Something I would otherwise not get to experience at home. The drive/pick ups takes about 1h15. Then at the volcano, it takes about 30 to enter because you have to line up. Then you stay in 15 minutes (or more depends on you). You rinse off in the small lake. Afterwards, for about an hour, you have the snack and wait for the group and then head back to the city. The guides, Cesar and Milton, were very friendly. The driver drove safely.

Boat Rental in Cartagena de Indias

Great but beware of lunch scam

Hiring a private boat is a must. Otherwise, you are in a horrible cattle call with the other operators. It was worth every penny. You will be greeted by someone that gets you to the boat and then you are out on the boat all day. You can customize where you want to go and how long to stay. It was safe. My only complaint is that the beach club where we ate lunch they asked us if we wanted to provide lunch for the boat crew of two people. We felt pressured to do this. Why wouldn’t the boat crew bring their own lunch? It’s one thing if they were sitting there with us, of course we would buy them lunch, but they were attending to the boat. It just seems like they should pack their own lunch. We felt obligated so we did send them the lunch and we were surprised it was more expensive than we were expecting. This just reduce the amount we gave them as a tip at the end. I think it’s a scam with the restaurant so maybe it should be made very clear multiple times while we are still on the boat not to fall for the scam at the beach club. It was included in the pre-departure information, but it was in the fine print and not highlighted. Seems like the boat operators would not allow this to happen. Or they should have given us a printed out piece of paper in English that clearly says we have our own lunch. Do not buy us a lunch but we appreciate your tips.
