Experience another side of Cartagena on this private 2.5-hour tour combining Colombian coffee, Caribbean tobacco, and the fascinating history of the city.

Your English-speaking guide will meet you at your hotel and accompany you to Cartagena’s historic center, where your experience begins at Plaza de la Aduana. Once an important administrative center for Cartagena’s colonial port, the plaza provides the perfect setting to discover how goods moved through the city and the role products such as coffee and tobacco played in Colombia’s history.

Your first stop will be at a local coffee shop, where you’ll taste Colombian coffee while learning about its origins, production, and importance to Colombian culture.

Continue on foot through the Walled City, passing landmarks such as the Clock Tower and Plaza de los Coches while hearing stories about Cartagena’s commercial past. You’ll also visit Plaza de la Proclamación before reaching Calle Estanco del Tabaco, whose name reflects the historical importance of tobacco and the system that once regulated its trade during the Spanish colonial period.

The experience continues toward Plaza Santo Domingo, one of the most traditional and lively squares in the historic center. Along the way, your private guide can adapt the pace of the tour and provide a more personal introduction to Cartagena’s history and culture.

Your experience concludes with a second Colombian coffee tasting. Adult guests will also have the opportunity to sample a Caribbean cigar while learning about the traditions surrounding tobacco in the region.

With a private guide and a flexible pace, this experience is an enjoyable way to explore Cartagena beyond its famous landmarks while discovering two products closely connected to Colombian and Caribbean culture.
