Totally worth it. - Manu was amazing. We visited street food vendors that were not like everyone else. He handpicked everyone and everything built on the previous stop. I was stuffed. Give the coffee lemonade a chance!

Great food tour - Alvaro was our guide and he was excellent! Portion size of food from each stop was generous and we left very full. Food was great and the guide was able to give history of the country and foods as we went along. It’s hot outside but they did provide water at certain stops. Overall great experience!

Great tour! - This was a great tour!! Not only did we learn about the food but we also learned about the history of the area. Definitely do NOT eat before this tour. It is incredibly filling. Seriously. Do not eat. 10 stops is a lot!! I had Alvaro (Al) as my tour guide and he was great! He is fully fluent in English and made the tour great. They also cap off the tour at groups of 10 which is really great because it wasn’t too crowded. Highly recommend!

Manu/Manuel and the food was AMAZING! - Manuel/Manu was amazing! He’s very passionate about the different foods and locations we ate. He explains the history and the importance of it to Colombian culture. Everything was so good and shed a light on all the good food in Cartagena. This tour is such a great to start your trip in Cartagena as an introduction. Manu was very nice and very knowledgeable. 100% recommend!

Fun and well curated food tour! - Awesome and very well curated food tour with Legaxy! We tried a number of dishes, beverages and fruits. Favorites were cocteles, iced coffee with lime and the fruits. Legaxy was a great guide and also gave some great tips at the end of the tour.

FOOD FOOD FOOD!!!! - The meeting location was very easy to find. We met with Karen, and waited a few minutes before we got started. We stopped at 10 locations, and ate at 9 of them. The food was amazing! We came with an empty stomach and left with a full belly, we didn't need to go out for dinner afterwards as we were still full from the experience. Make sure you go with an appetite because Karen will make sure you do not leave her tour hungry :) We had an amazing time, Karen is a local and very knowledgeable! Would Highly Recommend This Amazing Experience.

Fantastic - I had an incredible time on the food tour! It was a perfect blend of education, delicious food, and fun. Liz and Fernando were exceptional guides—knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about the local cuisine. They made the experience both informative and engaging, sharing fascinating stories and culinary insights at every stop. The tour company itself was very organized, providing detailed information about the meeting point and making sure to accommodate any dietary needs in advance, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Liz and Fernando leading the way. It’s a must-do for anyone looking to dive deep into the local food scene!

Nando's guide made a difference! Will do it again - Perfect for those who are n9t afraid to try street food. Nando's guide was really great and kept everyone engaged while giving us time to rest and chat. It was SOOOOO HOOOTTTT it is hard to describe (and we visited from Florida). Bring water water!! There are enough shaded spots and indoor spots to cool off, but it could be draining for someone out of shape.
