    Nothing special

    Nothing amazing, some spots we visited was underwhelming serving cold food. Guide was very nice and friendly but didn't have a lot of enthusiastic energy.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear you found the guide friendly and pleasant throughout the experience. I’m sorry to learn that some of the food stops and the overall energy of the tour didn’t meet your expectations. We work with local vendors to offer authentic Cartagena flavors, and I’ll be reviewing your comments with them to ensure the food is served at the proper temperature. I also appreciate your note about the guide’s enthusiasm — we always aim to bring our best energy to every tour, and your feedback helps us improve. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to have the opportunity to offer you a more memorable visit in the future.

    Alberto was an amazing...

    Alberto was an amazing tour guide. He was knowledgeable about the tour we enjoyed everywhere we ate and toured. He made us feel comfortable and safe at the same time. We had a good food tour experience.

    Like going on a walk with a friend

    This was a great experience. Adalberto was kind, personable, and knowledgeable about the food and the area. The food was varied and interesting and the history and sightseeing was just as exciting. We were the only ones on the tour. Everyone should request Adalberto for their guide

    CARTAGENA: PROFESSIONAL STREET FOOD TOUR With AUTHENTIC TASTINGS: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.

    How much does CARTAGENA: PROFESSIONAL STREET FOOD TOUR With AUTHENTIC TASTINGS cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 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: PROFESSIONAL STREET FOOD TOUR With AUTHENTIC TASTINGS take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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: PROFESSIONAL STREET FOOD TOUR With AUTHENTIC TASTINGS worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 6 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: PROFESSIONAL STREET FOOD TOUR With AUTHENTIC TASTINGS?

    +

    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: PROFESSIONAL STREET FOOD TOUR With AUTHENTIC TASTINGS suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book CARTAGENA: PROFESSIONAL STREET FOOD TOUR With AUTHENTIC TASTINGS?

    +

    Around 2 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does CARTAGENA: PROFESSIONAL STREET FOOD TOUR With AUTHENTIC TASTINGS 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.

    What is included in CARTAGENA: PROFESSIONAL STREET FOOD TOUR With AUTHENTIC TASTINGS?

    +

    Included: Snacks; Carbonated beverages; and Professional Licensed Tour Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for CARTAGENA: PROFESSIONAL STREET FOOD TOUR With AUTHENTIC TASTINGS?

    +

    Plaza San Diego is a very easy meeting point to find. It is a busy place with diners and surrounded by well-known restaurants, as well as the most luxurious and exclusive hotel in the city. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is CARTAGENA: PROFESSIONAL STREET FOOD TOUR With AUTHENTIC TASTINGS offered in?

    Is CARTAGENA: PROFESSIONAL STREET FOOD TOUR With AUTHENTIC TASTINGS wheelchair or stroller accessible?
