Best tour ever
We were a group of 15 and our tour guide DAN WAS AMAZING. This was hands down the best tour I've ever been on, from experiencing the culture and history of the city to the delicious food to the cocktails made for us in his hometown. Thank you Dan for keeping us safe we had so much fun we'll DEFINITELY be back.

AWESOME!!
This street food tour was awesome! My children and I enjoyed everything about this tour. From the easiness of meeting up with our guide Dan, to the tasty local street foods we tried, and all of Dan’s wonderful knowledge of the local culture and history, we couldn’t have asked for more. Dan was an amazing tour guide who was extremely accommodating, charismatic and very patient. We really enjoyed the street food, as well as walking the beautiful historic streets of the Walled City and Getsemaní. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

FLAVORS OF CARTAGENA STREET FOOD TOUR with MOUTHWATERING TASTINGS: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does FLAVORS OF CARTAGENA STREET FOOD TOUR with MOUTHWATERING 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 FLAVORS OF CARTAGENA STREET FOOD TOUR with MOUTHWATERING 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 FLAVORS OF CARTAGENA STREET FOOD TOUR with MOUTHWATERING TASTINGS worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 9 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 FLAVORS OF CARTAGENA STREET FOOD TOUR with MOUTHWATERING 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 FLAVORS OF CARTAGENA STREET FOOD TOUR with MOUTHWATERING 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 FLAVORS OF CARTAGENA STREET FOOD TOUR with MOUTHWATERING TASTINGS?
+
Around 3 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 FLAVORS OF CARTAGENA STREET FOOD TOUR with MOUTHWATERING 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 FLAVORS OF CARTAGENA STREET FOOD TOUR with MOUTHWATERING TASTINGS?
+
Included: Bottled water; 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 FLAVORS OF CARTAGENA STREET FOOD TOUR with MOUTHWATERING 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 FLAVORS OF CARTAGENA STREET FOOD TOUR with MOUTHWATERING TASTINGS offered in?
