Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"What a great afternoon with Wendy! We learned a lot, had a few good laughs and enjoyed our afternoon with Wendy! She told great stories, offered delicious treats and gave us a good lay of the land around Cartagena. Wonderful way to get acquainted with the city and culture. Highly recommend. "
"I found Andrea online quite by chance and from the word go, a week before we actually met, we seemed to click. We exchanged numerous messages about what to do on the morning I was going to be in Cartagena. She came up with plenty of ideas, including for hotels and restaurants. I thoroughly enjoyed walking around town with her, hearing about the history of places but also talking about current affairs and plenty of other subjects about Colombia as a whole (and the rest of the world). I can thoroughly recommend Andrea as a dedicated and fun guide who will listen to and accommodate all your needs. She’s an amazing person with a lot of different interests and projects going on. She even recommended a lovely guide in Bogotá and “kept an eye on me” while I was travelling to make sure I got places safely. Don’t hesitate to book her!"
"We had an absolute fabulous time with Wendy! Her english was great, and we thoroughly enjoyed each of the 10 tastings. She was also great at making dinner recommendations and sharing about her experience in Columbia. Highly recommend using Wendy for the 10 tastings tour! "

"Wendy was an excellent tour guide. Communication prior to tour was timely, meeting was easy and the tour itself was great. We were a group of 6 friends on a birthday trip and she fit right in. She took us to locations we would not have found on our own. All of the stops were delicious and we had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend the ten tastings tour with Wendy. "
"With had the most amazing evening tour with Andrea. She showed us exactly what we like, hidden gems regarding to rooftops and food places! Andrea pro actively thought of things to do, to see what both was great to visit for my 10yrs old son and me. Because of her international experienced & sustainable focused background she could share a lot about her country’s culture/historical and relate to other countries as well! Whenever you’re in Cartagena you should really book this or any other tours with Andrea."
"Andrea was amazing. Our evening tour in Cartagena was everything we wanted. She weaved art, history, food, and rooftops into a magical evening. When one of our group had to return to the hotel due to stomach issues, she stopped by the hotel with an electrolyte drink. Very thoughtful! She provided many wonderful recommendations and even scored us a reservation at the number 1 restaurant in Cartagena- which was full when we tried to book. Would 100% recommend a tour with Andrea! "
"Andrea was an absolutely fantastic food tour guide in Cartagena, Colombia — easily a five out of five experience! From the moment the tour began, her warm and sweet personality made everyone feel welcomed and excited. Her deep knowledge of Colombian cuisine and culture added so much depth to every stop we made. Andrea didn’t just explain what we were eating — she told the stories behind the dishes, the ingredients, and the traditions. It was clear that she is both passionate and incredibly educated in her field. Each bite felt more meaningful thanks to her insights and engaging storytelling. She answered every question with enthusiasm and care, always making sure we were comfortable and having a great time. Andrea also gave great local tips that we ended up using for the rest of our trip. By the end of the tour, we felt like we had truly experienced the heart of Cartagena. I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone who wants an unforgettable and authentic food experience! "
"Andrea was great fun to be with, We went next to theccathedral, where some street dancers were dancing, which we liked a lot, then to a famous rooftop and then to a recomended gourmet restaurant, Ana. The ambient was beautifully decorated, with live music, and not too crowded. The food was gourmet, but not well balanced and overcomplicated. It was not of our taste. "
"Wendy did an amazing job showing us around! She is super knowledgeable, speaks perfect English, and was wonderful with our 7 and 9 year old children. I would highly recommend. Not only did we learn a lot but we had fun! "
"We had an incredible experience on the private 10 tastings of Cartagena tour, all thanks to our wonderful host, Wendy. From the moment we met her, Wendy's warm and welcoming personality made us feel right at home. Her knowledge of Cartagena and its culinary scene is impressive, and she guided us through each tasting with enthusiasm and expertise. Wendy's passion for the local cuisine was evident in every stop we made. She introduced us to a variety of delicious dishes, each with its own unique story and flavor. Her recommendations were spot-on, and we enjoyed every bite. Wendy also took the time to share interesting facts about the city's history and culture, which added an extra layer of enjoyment to the tour. Overall, Wendy made our tour an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to explore the culinary delights of Cartagena. Thank you, Wendy, for a fantastic day! "
