All things coffee
This was an enjoyable, authentic experience in Cartagena. We have visited the city before and opted for this tour, as my husband is a coffee enthusiast. It was nice being in a small local coffee shop with just 6 people. David knows his coffee! He imparted so much coffee knowledge using maps, coffee history and multiple coffee making devices. I don't drink coffee so didn't sample much but my husband really enjoyed it and we were able to select some Colombian coffee beans to bring home.
Response from the operator: Hey Lauries! Thanks a ton for your awesome review! We're so happy you and your husband got to enjoy this coffee adventure with David — he's a total coffee wizard! Even if you’re not a coffee drinker, it’s super cool that you both got to experience the magic (and take some beans home!). Hope to see you again soon !

Amazing yet disappointing
I arrived to the location, a beautiful coffee shop with local charm. The class is amazing. I got to learn about the history of coffee and learn from someone who really appreciates their craft. My only disappointment is the misleading text of them session. It was described as you would get to choose your bean roasted and grind it yourself. All of which never occurred. The master performed everything in front of us audience. I enjoyed learning, but this was advertise as a more hands-on experience and I was left wanting.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the charm of the coffee shop and the insightful class on coffee history. We apologize for the misunderstanding regarding the hands-on experience. Your comments will help us improve our descriptions to better meet expectations. We hope to offer a more interactive session in the future. - Impulse Travel Team

Great coffee experience
I really enjoyed this experience. I’m a coffee lover and wanted an immersive experience and that’s exactly what I got. You can see the love the owner has for his craft. I also enjoyed the 80s/90s music references that filtered through the presentation. As for the coffee - amazing! I should’ve bought more.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the immersive coffee experience and appreciated the owner's passion. It's great to hear you loved the 80s/90s music touches and, of course, the coffee. We hope to welcome you back for more soon! - Impulse Travel Team

One of the Highlights of our Trip
It was our first trip to Cartagena, so we decided that a coffee related excursion was appropriate. There were several options, but we decided on the Coffee Master. It was a fantastic choice. David truly knows his coffee and provides an informative and entertaining presentation. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our Cartagena Coffee Master tour! David's passion for coffee shines through his informative and entertaining presentation. Thank you for recommending us! - Impulse Travel Team

Cartagena Coffee Masters: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Cartagena Coffee Masters cost?
+
Prices start at $112 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cartagena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cartagena Coffee Masters take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cartagena is not rushed.
Is Cartagena Coffee Masters worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cartagena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cartagena Coffee Masters?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cartagena Coffee Masters suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cartagena Coffee Masters?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cartagena can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cartagena and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cartagena Coffee Masters start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cartagena within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cartagena?
+
On Outty we rank every Cartagena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena, Cartagena Antigua & Barrio Getsemani group with audio system, Cartagena VIP Boat Tour: Rosario Islands & Snorkel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cartagena?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cartagena?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
