    Fun, Knowledgeable and Delicious

    We had a fabulous day with Alejandra learning about the various local rums, tasting great chocolate and delicious street food! We were greeted by Gesu and taken down to the tasting room. He was the perfect person to greet us! We were then joined by Alejandra to begin our tasting. We tasted 8 rums, plus a rum cocktail. Alejandra educated us on each one, where it was distilled, how it was distilled , general info about the distiller and how the locals drank it. We paired some of the rums with chocolate - the chocolate was delicious and truly changed the taste of the rum. We also had some pairing with local street foods, seasoned sweet peppers (I ate them all), this wonderful cheese ball with the local version of sour cream and then the tastiest meat ball ever. It was truly an event and one we would do again. Alejandra then took us down to the store where we did purchase both rum and chocolate. My husband also got to taste great Colombian coffee. Alejandra made sure we were safely back in an Uber to the port. Top tip if coming in on cruise ship plan to leave the port about 30 minutes prior to tasting and take an Uber, vary reasonable and if your driver is good you will get some history of the area!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience, your comments help us to grow and improve a lot. We are very happy to know that you have learned and enjoyed every moment. Alejandra Gesu and all our team will be very happy to have you visit us again. A sincere hug. We look forward to seeing you soon :)

    Who is Rum & Chocolate Tasting with Chocolate Factory Tour in Cartagena best for?

    It suits families and travelers short on time best, based on its 1.8-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is Rum & Chocolate Tasting with Chocolate Factory Tour in Cartagena good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $107, above the $42 typical for similar experiences in Cartagena.

    How much does Rum & Chocolate Tasting with Chocolate Factory Tour 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 & Chocolate Tasting with Chocolate Factory Tour 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 & Chocolate Tasting with Chocolate Factory Tour in Cartagena worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 with Chocolate Factory Tour in Cartagena?

    +

    Is Rum & Chocolate Tasting with Chocolate Factory Tour 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 & Chocolate Tasting with Chocolate Factory Tour in Cartagena?

    +

    Around 0 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.

    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.
