As it was our first time in Cartagena, we wanted to get a feel for the city on our first day - and taste some of the amazing food! We booked a private tour and Luisa - our guide - could not have been more gracious. She took us to some wonderful spots and we tried so many different foods - and we got a wonderful tour of the city and the area! Would highly, highly recommend. Luisa is so personable and warm, and made us feel right at home in this city. Thank you for such a great introduction to Cartagena!
