Best guide and tour in Cartagena
"Our food tour was fantastic. Even before it started, Karen was in contact multiple times. The meeting point was easy and very close to our first few stops. We had 10 different food and beverage tastings and each were a treat. We have taken hundreds of tours all over the world and can honestly say that Karen and her food tour are up at the top of our list. "

Wendy: The Best Guide in Cartagena
"Wendy was an incredible guide during our visit to Cartagena, Colombia. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture of the city. She took us to the best spots, showing us hidden gems that we would have never found on our own. Wendy’s attention to detail and her genuine care for our experience made the tour unforgettable. She went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Her energy, enthusiasm, and warmth made the entire experience even more special. If you’re looking for a guide who truly cares and knows Cartagena inside and out, Wendy is THE BEST! Highly recommend her to anyone visiting the city!"

Great Communication and knowledge of city
"Wendy was professional and kind in all of our conversations. She helped answer my numerous questions. She found solutions to problems that I faced. Our cruise ship was delayed and she was quick to pivot and help. Wendy speaks English with ease. Her tour was fun with loads of information. Great food choices even handling my egg allergy. I highly recommend Wendy while visiting Columbia. "

Delicious tour, great guide
"My family loved our tour with Wendy! She was so kind and patient with our kids (6 and 8)-- always encouraging them to try new foods but never being pushy. Wendy is warm, knowledgeable, and just a fun person to spend a few hours with. Our only regret is that we didn't take the tour our very first day as it would have been a great way to get situated. Highly recommend this tour with Wendy!!"

Unforgettable
"We had an amazing food tour in Cartagena! Karen was engaging and very knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and taking us to some unforgettable locations that we’d never have found on our own. The food was incredible, our favorite were the fritos—a crispy arepa filled with egg and beef (plus an aji salsa that blew our minds!). Highly recommend!"

Wonderful
"My family and a had a great time exploring the tastes and treats of Cartagena. We learned some history and info about the country along the way. Wendy was really enthusiastic and great with my 10 year old son. We tried lots of different things in both the Old Town and Getsemani. Even better Wendy sent us some great pictures after our time together as well. I strongly recommend this tour with Wendy!"
