"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."

A wonderful experience!
"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! "

Great tour guide ever!
"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 is delightful, intelligent, fun
"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! "
"We loved our tour! Andrea is great!! Absolutely fun to be with. She is the person for Cartagena!!
But she knows a lot about other parts of the country too! "
"I had booked with Andrea but she was unable to take me on the tour and Wendy stepped in. She was lovely and engaging and walked me around the old city and Getsemani district tasting along the way typical local eats.
and pointing out local buildings and points of interest.I have to say it was a very hot day and I appreciated the cold beverages that were also included- a fresh, delicious lemonade, a local (excellent) iced coffee and a beer which we enjoyed in a local bar."
"We try to set up a tour everywhere we travel to get a sense of the city we are visiting. We were fortunate to book Andrea to share the culture, the highlights and favorite spots of Cartagena. She was so patient in answering all of our questions regarding the history of Colombia, the city of Cartagena and the everyday lives of Colombians. I wished we could have booked Andrea the next day for the food tour but unfortunately was not feeling well. Andrea has so much to offer! You will not go wrong booking her tour to explore this beautiful city. "
