    Private chef

    I got the private chef experience with Chef Andres. He made sure to cover every detail and kept in contact every step of the way. He made us a Lobster dinner with his Rosemary Wine sauce, patacones, arroz, avocado tartare, and a chocolate brownie with ice cream in a Corozo (local fruit) syrup. Since we were celebrating a birthday he also came with a cake. Chef Andres takes so much pride in his cooking and the history as well. 5 star experience

    Amazing!

    We had the most amazing experience celebrating a very special birthday. The food was amazing! But more than anything the service was stellar. We had an emergency a few hours prior to the event which meant we had to push out dinner by a few hours. Andres was super accommodating and helped us every step of the way. Totally recommend this to anyone that wants a special experience in Cartagena.

    10/10 Private Chef

    Andres did an AMAZING job!! It was a 10/10 experience. We booked a private brunch where he came to our air bnb and cooked for us. He came supplied with groceries, juice and of course liquor because what's a vacation without a drink lol. He then prepared an amazing meal that was also very aesthetically pleasing for Instagram photos. He then went above and beyond and cleaned up and washed dishes after we finished eating. He was extremely nice and smiley and pleasant to be around we loved him so much. Would definitely book again if I ever found myself in Cartagena. 💕

    Private Dinner at a Local Chef's House in Cartagena: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Dinner at a Local Chef's House in Cartagena cost?

    +

    Prices start at $52 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 Dinner at a Local Chef's House in Cartagena take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.7 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 Dinner at a Local Chef's House in Cartagena worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 47 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 Dinner at a Local Chef's House 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 Dinner at a Local Chef's House in Cartagena suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Dinner at a Local Chef's House in Cartagena?

    +

    Around 16 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 2.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Dinner at a Local Chef's House 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 VIP Boat Tour: Rosario Islands & Snorkel, Cartagena Antigua & Barrio Getsemani group with audio system. 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.
