Fabulous tasting. Wide variety of rums, aguardientes, and chocolates. Delightful host, bright clean location, a lot of fun. Wendy was our host and she made the tastings informational and personal. We had so much fun! The snacks they prepared for us were delicious as well. This is definitely the tour to go on on Cartagena.

Our hostess, Alejandra, was fun, very well versed in the different types of rum that she served us. The whole experience was great, from tasting, to chatting with Alejandra, to asking questions and receiving proper answers. In the end, we stayed for dinner as well. Arsenal is a cute small venue with very nice staff and good food. I’d totally go back to just have a drink with friends. Quite enjoyed the place. For people who want to try different types of rum, this is a fun one to try

¡Muchísimas gracias por tu comentario! Nos encanta saber que disfrutaste la experiencia y que Alejandra hizo todo aún más especial con su atención y forma de explicar. ¡Será un gusto recibirte nuevamente muy pronto!
We were a group of 7 and loved our Private Rum Tasting with Sebastian! We tasted 8 rums and had a delicious cocktail as well that was Sebastians own creation. Passion Rouge! We got to learn about the local rums to Cartagena and Colombia and enjoy some chocolates/small tapas paired with them. Delicious! We mentioned checking on the chocolate shop afterwards and Sebastian was sweet enough to take us over and give us a brief tour of the small factory as well. Very much worth it!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear your group had such a great time with Sebastian. It’s great to know you enjoyed the variety of rums and his signature cocktail — Passion Rouge sounds like it was a hit! We love creating fun and memorable group experiences. Hope to see you all again soon!
We had a really fun and good experience at this lovely bar/restaurant. We had the rum tasting, our host was Wendy, a very competent and friendly woman from Cartagena. She explained all we needed to know about rum and we tried a lot of really good rum! 10/10 recommendation

This was a fabulous experience from start to finish. Sebastian is an extraordinary rum expert. He taught us so much about the different rums - how they were made, tasting notes, history, etc. and the food and chocolate pairings with each of the different rums was delicious. Sebastian also made us his own signature cocktail “La Passion Rouge”. Yummmmm! El Arsenal is located in the historic Getsemani district of Cartagena and provides a wonderful break in your site seeing. Added bonus - you can purchase rums and chocolates to take with you.
