Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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. "
"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! "

"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 had an amazing food tour with Andrea in Cartagena! We spent a delightful few hours exploring vibrant neighborhoods, indulging in an array of local street foods and refreshing juices, all while immersing ourselves in the rich history of Cartagena. Andrea was an exceptional guide—her passion and deep love for the city shone through in every moment she shared with us!"
"I try and do.food tours wherever I travel and this was definitely one of the best. Karen was a fantastic guide, with a great energy and desire to tell us all about Cartagena and Colombia. We tasted a great selection of dishes, from seafood to arepas, to sweets to frutis, and local beverages. She also took us to parts we may not have visited.had we not done this tour. Highly recommend for groups and anyone interested in tasting local dishes!"
"Wonderful communication with Wendy pre tour which helped us tremendously. Wendy even changed her usual meeting point to collect us in a taxi at the port . I needed a sewing alteration and she was able to sort this out during the tour . What great service !!! A thoughtful enthusiastic person who kept us engaged all through the tour . The food and drink were really good too . Would recommend Wendy highly . "
"We had an amazing time on the food tour in Cartagena, Colombia, led by Karen! She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing her city's vibrant food scene with us. Not only did she introduce us to a fantastic variety of local dishes—shrimp cocktail, plantains, different types of arepas, and local breads—but Karen also took us to some of the best spots in the city to experience these authentic flavors. Karen's deep knowledge of Cartagena really shone through as she guided us through hidden gems, making sure we tasted the most delicious and unique offerings, making the tour even more enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cartagena!"
