    Alejandra is amazing!

    My boyfriend and I had so much fun at this rum and chocolate tasting! Alejandra was our guide and she was AMAZING! We tried so many different rums, went to the chocolate factory, and got to learn a lot about the history of rum and chocolate. Would recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for visiting us and for leaving such a lovely review! We are delighted to hear that you and your boyfriend had so much fun during the tasting. Alejandra is fantastic, and she will be thrilled to know she helped make your experience so special. We love sharing the history behind our craft and showing off the chocolate factory to our guests, so it is wonderful to know you enjoyed the learning process just as much as the rums! Thank you for highly recommending us, and we hope to welcome you both back in the future.

    Amazing experience 👏🏼

    We had such an amazing time on the chocolate and rum tour! From start to finish, the entire experience was fun, informative. Alejandra was our host and she was AMAZING! She was so welcoming, knowledgeable, personable, and made the whole experience even better. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and her energy made the tour feel fun and relaxed instead of just another tourist activity. The chocolate and rum were delicious, we learned a lot, laughed a lot, and had such a good time. If you’re thinking about booking this experience, DO IT and if you’re lucky enough to get Alejandra as your host, you’re in for a treat! Thank you, Alejandra, for making our experience so memorable! ❤️

    Response from the operator: Jasmine, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had a fun and informative experience on the chocolate and rum tour. Alejandra is a shining star on our team, and she will be so incredibly happy to read your kind words. We take great pride in sharing our passion with genuine energy, and we're so glad she made your time with us feel relaxed and memorable. Thank you for highly recommending us. We hope to welcome you back for another delicious treat in the future!

    Rum and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Rum 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 Rum 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 Rum and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 380 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 Rum 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 Rum 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 Rum and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena?

    +

    Around 133 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 Rum 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 Rum 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 Rum and Chocolate Tasting in Cartagena?

    +

    "We are located at Arsenal The Rum box, a pink-colored bar located on Arsenal Street in front of the convention center. Our friendly host will guide you to the place where the experience will take place." Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
