Fun with Rum!
Fabulous tasting. Wide variety of rums, aguardientes, and chocolates. Delightful host, bright clean location, a lot of fun. Wendy was our host and she made the tastings informational and personal. We had so much fun! The snacks they prepared for us were delicious as well. This is definitely the tour to go on on Cartagena.

Amazing time
Our hostess, Alejandra, was fun, very well versed in the different types of rum that she served us. The whole experience was great, from tasting, to chatting with Alejandra, to asking questions and receiving proper answers. In the end, we stayed for dinner as well. Arsenal is a cute small venue with very nice staff and good food. I’d totally go back to just have a drink with friends. Quite enjoyed the place. For people who want to try different types of rum, this is a fun one to try
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you had such a great time with Alejandra. Her knowledge and energy truly make the experience engaging and memorable. It’s great to know you enjoyed every part of it — from the tasting to the conversation. Staying for dinner sounds like the perfect ending! We hope to see you again soon.

Delicious Rum and Fun!
We were a group of 7 and loved our Private Rum Tasting with Sebastian! We tasted 8 rums and had a delicious cocktail as well that was Sebastians own creation. Passion Rouge! We got to learn about the local rums to Cartagena and Colombia and enjoy some chocolates/small tapas paired with them. Delicious! We mentioned checking on the chocolate shop afterwards and Sebastian was sweet enough to take us over and give us a brief tour of the small factory as well. Very much worth it!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear your group had such a great time with Sebastian. It’s great to know you enjoyed the variety of rums and his signature cocktail — Passion Rouge sounds like it was a hit! We love creating fun and memorable group experiences. Hope to see you all again soon!

Rum & Chocolate tasting boutique: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Rum & Chocolate tasting boutique 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 & Chocolate tasting boutique take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 & Chocolate tasting boutique worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 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 & Chocolate tasting boutique?
+
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 & Chocolate tasting boutique suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Rum & Chocolate tasting boutique?
+
Around 6 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rum & Chocolate tasting boutique 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 Cartagena Street Food Tour: 10 Local Tastings in the Walled City, Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena, Cartagena Cooking Class with Local Chef (Small Group Experience). 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.
