Intimate tasting with a great rum teacher.
The tasting was amazing. We covered important parts of the city’s and surrounding rum culture, how it’s made, and the differences. The tasting was paired with delicious snacks. A good teacher makes the difference and Wendy was knowledgeable, friendly, professional and a warm person. Highly recommend! Ask for Wendy!

Private Colombian Rums and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Private Colombian Rums and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena cost?
+
Prices start at $107 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 Private Colombian Rums and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena take?
+
Plan for about 1.8 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 Private Colombian Rums and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 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 Private Colombian Rums and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena?
+
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 Private Colombian Rums and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Colombian Rums and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena?
+
Around 8 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 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Colombian Rums and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena 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 Private Colombian Rums and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private Colombian Rums and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena?
+
At the beginning of the bustling Arsenal Street, right around the corner and across from the convention center, there's a two-story pink building with wooden barrels outside promoting free hugs. When you arrive. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Private Colombian Rums and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Colombian Rums and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena?
