He not only introduced us to a wide range of delicious Colombian bites (seriously, come hungry — you won’t need another meal that day), but also gave us a deeper understanding of the history and culture behind each dish. The number of stops was impressive, and each one had something unique to offer. Alvaro went above and beyond by also giving us recommendations for what to do and where to go while we were in town.

“I had a great time during this tour. It was such a unique experience and one of the reasons why I wanted to come to Cartagena. It is worth the money. Eliana was a great guide. Even though majority of the tour was Spanish speaking, she made sure that she explained to me everything in English. She didn’t mind at all. What I appreciated the most is her explanation of the services not included with what we paid for already. For example, there is a fee to get your pictures taken, massage in the pit, and getting help from the ladies in the river to wash off the volcano mud.…”
