Great tour

Awesome tour with Carolina. Really enjoyed the fruits and different fresh juices. Would recommend as Carolina also gave us a good overview of Santa Marta and some of the history of the area.

The Ultimate Street Food Experience no

Published on Dec, 2024

I had an incredible time on the Santa Marta Street Food Tour! Al, the guide, was super friendly and really knows his stuff. I was traveling solo and joined the tour with someone who’s currently learning to lead the tours. Both were so welcoming that I immediately felt comfortable. What really stood out was how thoughtful Al was—he even looked up a few German-related facts after learning I was from Germany. That personal touch made the tour feel special. Al also took fantastic photos of the food and of me along the way, which was a great bonus! The tour itself was a perfect mix of street food, markets, and cozy stops at restaurants and cafés. We spent 4 hours exploring the local food scene, walking about 13 kilometers, and eating so much that I was completely stuffed by the end. As a vegetarian, I was impressed by how well the tour worked for me. Al really knows everyone in town and has such a friendly way of showing you around. He also shared insights about the architecture and local culture, but never rushed us—everything felt relaxed and easygoing. If you’re in Santa Marta, definitely come hungry and take this tour. It’s a fun, delicious, and memorable experience. Thanks, Al, for making it so great!

Fun and tasty!

Álvaro was an excellent guide! He was so and helpful. He made my experience tasting all the local foods so fun!

A good choice if you want to see a lot of Santa Marta

My parents and I had a wonderful time on the tour. As others have said, there is LOTS of walking, but that is necessary as you will eat so much food at the start that you need time to digest. The tour is a mix of street food (at the beginning) and then the restaurants get nicer and nicer. You walk through areas you would never go as a tourist, but our guide (Al) made us feel safe and taken care of the entire time.

Great Local Food Experience

Our tour guide was very informative, easy to follow. The stops were appropriate to take a break, enjoy the surroundings. He was accommodating for us to stop and take pictures when we wanted and always had extra tid bits of knowledge to share. Excellent experience!
