Small-group food tour of Cartagena’s Bazurto Market by public transit, with native fruit tastings and lunch at a local home.
“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.”

“The guide never turned up. The whole service was dodgy.”
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.”
