Tour description

Join us on a free food tour in Cartagena that goes beyond the typical bites and dives deep into the heart of the city's vibrant culinary scene. Cartagena is bursting with flavor—from crispy empanadas to zesty ceviche served. But this isn’t your average food tour. Come hungry and leave full—not just with food, but with unforgettable memories.

WHAT MAKES OUR FREE FOOD TOUR DIFFERENT?

We explore the city the way locals do—tasting our way through hidden spots, family-run eateries, and food stands you might miss on your own. Every stop tells a story, and every bite brings you closer to Cartagena’s culture and soul.

HOW MUCH DOES FOOD COST IN EACH PLACE WE PASS BY?

The places we'll stop by to try food, fresh fruit juices, tropical fruits, and local snacks. They're best known by locals, which is why the food is so cheap. Prices typically range from $3 to $10 per plate at Yo Amo Bazurto restaurant, $1.5 to $2 for fresh fruit juice at the Refresquerías, and $0.5 to $5 for fresh tropical fruit at the fruit stands. Fried arepas at Donde Magola restaurant range in price from $1 to $4, and a delicious buñuelo or pastel at Super Buñuelo can be enjoyed for $1 to $2. Finally, Colombitalia Express charges $2.5 to $7 for grilled arepas. You'll spend at least $10 for the gastronomic experience, plus the guide's tip, which usually ranges from $10 to $50, depending on your satisfaction with the tour.

So lace up your walking shoes, and get ready to taste the most delicious dishes that Cartagena has to offer you.
