The street food tour was the highlight of our trip. Our guide knew every vendor by name. Don't miss the arepa de huevo!
Una experiencia increíble. Probamos cosas que nunca hubiéramos encontrado solos. Muy recomendable para familias.
More than just food, we learned so much about the history of Getsemani. The fruit tastings were so refreshing in the heat.
Perfect length and the food portions were surprisingly generous. Booking through the platform was seamless.
Julie foi uma guia fantástica. A comida de rua em Cartagena é única e muito saborosa. Vale cada centavo!
Highly organized. We felt safe trying everything. The guava pastries with cheese were a revelation.
Great mix of savory and sweet. It does involve a lot of walking, so wear good shoes!
The private tour option was perfect for our group. The guide adjusted the pace and the food choices to our liking.
