“Our guide Daniella was enthusiastic, friendly, and well prepared. This tour was truely immersive: using a public transportation, tasting local fruits, meeting local vendors in the market. Bazuro market is so huge that unless you have a guide or speak Spanish you may get lost. It was a very unique cultural experience.”

3-hour Bazurto Market tour in Cartagena with guide Kerbie, sampling local snacks and drinks, including soda, plus real market energy.
“We enjoyed our tour to the Bazurto Market! It was absolutely essential to have a local guide for this experience. Kerbie was knowledgeable and helped us sample local pastries, fruit, smoothies and beer. My one piece of feedback is that, at times, he walked ahead of us and did not turn around to make sure we were still following. The market is crowded and easy to get separated!”

“We took a private tour. There were 2 of us. We enjoyed the tour, but it was supposed to take 4 hours and only took 2. It was very expensive for a 2 hour tour.”
3-hour Cartagena Bazurto Market tour with a bilingual guide, guarapo, fruit tastings, and a real costeño lunch for $92.
“This place smelled horrible, I could barely breathe because the stench was so potent. The area was congested and it was filthy all around. Of course the people were friendly but I would not recommend someone to eat from this area.”
Half-day Cartagena tour with La Popa monastery views, Bazurto Market tastings, and lunch, plus hotel pickup and a private guide.
“We had to cancel our tour because our tour guide, Carlos was late. Also, the tour just dragged on and felt unorganized. The pickup location for transportation was on the main road, not at the hotel. Then we had to wait 20 minutes for our ride to La Popa. At that point we decided to just cancel the tour.”
Cartagena’s Bazurto market plus a hands-on Caribbean cooking class, shopping for ingredients or skipping the market, and eating your lunch.
“This was a great experience. The open air market may not be for everyone but it really showed the diversity of fish, meat and produce available in the area. Our guide, Andres, was knowledgeable and entertaining.”
