Dan was an outstanding host and made our food tour in Cartagena an unforgettable experience. His passion for the city, its history, and its incredible culinary traditions was evident from the very beginning. Beyond just tasting amazing food, Dan brought the stories behind each dish to life , connecting the flavours, culture, and people that make Cartagena so special. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely enthusiastic, making everyone feel welcome and part of the experience. A fantastic way to discover Cartagena through its food, culture, and hidden gems. Highly recommended!
Got to enjoy not only the history of the walled city but the local delicious street food as well from Dan as we walked through the walled city.
Great food and knowledge! Great to see off the path places. Very authentic. Rasta tour guide was great.
Adalberto was amazing and genuine. He took us to places that we didn’t even know were there during our self exploration of the city. The food and drinks we tasted were amazing. He explained how they were made and said interesting facts about them. His English is very good even though he claimed it’s not. He holds very good conversations. If there are claims about not understanding him, it’s probably because you’re not listening intently. Cartagena is a loud city if you pay attention, you’ll be able to hear the interesting facts about the food, drinks and the city.
I always enjoy doing food tours in my travel as I love to try new things. My guide, Adalberto, was very pleasant and showed me lots of local food! I was on my own but Adalberto made sure I felt comfortable throughout the tour. He knows a lot about the city and it was lovely to get to know him and his story. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you are traveling solo! We wandered around the city the whole afternoon and I could barely finish all the good we tasted!
Our tour guide was very nice. We really enjoyed all of the food options and we were able to see the beautiful history of the walled city.
Alberto was very accommodating. He shared interesting stories about the city as we ate the local foods. I’d highly recommend this experience to foodies and history buffs.
