Unique experience

Unique experience with combining rum and chocolate. My husband’s favorite drink but I now might be a convert! Sebastian was a lovely guide with great English and great knowledge. Made us feel very welcome and comfortable

Operator response

hank you for this wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you found our rum and chocolate pairing such a unique experience in Cartagena. The best compliment we could receive is hearing that you might be a rum convert now! Converting guests who thought they didn't like rum (or preferred other spirits) is one of our favorite challenges, and it's fantastic to know that our Colombian rum selection and thoughtful chocolate pairings won you over. Sebastian will be delighted to read your kind words—his great English and deep knowledge make every guest feel welcome and comfortable, whether you're a seasoned rum lover or a curious newcomer. Creating a welcoming atmosphere where couples can relax, learn, and discover new flavors together is exactly what we strive for at Lunático. Knowing that we achieved that for you and your husband means the world to our team! We hope you had a fantastic time exploring the Old Town and the castle views. If your travels bring you back to Cartagena, we'd love to welcome you for another round—perhaps to deepen your newfound love for Colombian rum! Warm regards, The Lunático Team Rum & Chocolate Experience – Cartagena
