“We selected this tour given the highly rated reviews on viator. At the beginning of the tour we went through various food stops but there really wasn’t much information until the last half hour. Consequently, many of those in our group had additional questions and he provided short explanation but perhaps it was challenging with the language barrier and to capture the complexities of the history. We unfortunately did not find ourselves having the glowing experience that others referenced in their reviews as we would have enjoyed a little more energy, more context and information for the neighborhood we were there to learn about. If photos are to be shared,…”

Alvaro is extremely knowledgeable, speaks excellent English, and is genuinely friendly and engaging. From start to finish, he made the experience seamless and fun. We stopped at around 10 different spots, trying an amazing variety of local dishes—everything was delicious and thoughtfully chosen. The tour had the perfect balance of walking, sightseeing, history, and food, so it never felt rushed or overwhelming. Alvaro shared fascinating stories about Cartagena and Colombian culture that really brought the city to life while we explored. If you’re looking for a food tour that…”
Medellín street food, music, dancing, and night views come together on this lively chiva tour through El Poblado.
“I’m giving 3 stars mainly because the tour was advertised on Viator as being in *only* English. We were the only English speakers on the tour and could not understand anything that was being said. They translated some things to English for us but overall feel like it took away from the night. We were with two people that spoke Spanish and they had a blast.”

I was a bit nervous since i'm a gal traveling alone, but he warned me of scammers, took me to amazing places, was an absolute WEALTH of knowledge and humor...I can't say enough good about this tour and him! He made sure i was safe, hydrated and entertained every step of the way in his amazing city, and not only made sure i got back to my ship on time, but helped me arrange safe transport the following day in port. You have GOT to book this tour!”

“Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this tour but the Juan was very helpful and accommodating. He offered to provide a refund but i chose to pay for the missed activity to honor their refund policía. I took a hummingbird tour with this company that was absolutely memorizing! I booked that directly with Juan through whatsapp after signing up for this activity and don't have a way to review it through viator. That said ths hummingbird tour includes driving into the memorizing near Cali and spending time at Finca Alejandría "El Paraiso de Los Colibries". I can't recomend this highly enough.”

We saw sections of Cartagena that we otherwise may have missed and learned a lot about the local history and culture along with eating great food. He said at the beginning of the tour that the tour didn't end until we were full and stayed true to his word! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience Cartagena.”
