If you want a glimpse into how the locals live and where they shop and eat, book this tour. I had the tour all to myself and was immersed into the local culture as soon as I met my tour guide in Getsamani and we loaded the bus for the market. You will be guided every step of the way from learning about the history of how the Colombian people came to this country, you will visit a steel artisan who greets you with smiles, you will sample fresh fruits and have a fresh juice to cool off, get a custom graffiti poster by a passionate artist, dance to African music with a local DJ who becomes a friend, and eat the best rice dish you’ll have in Cartagena cooked by a local in her booth that was voted best by Bourdain himself. Worth a 3 hour visit if you have a few days and want to see a glimpse of local life.
