Book this one and ask for Wendy!

We had an amazing time! I am so happy with the experience and glad that Wendy was our host. She ensured we enjoyed each step of the tasting (we opted not to do the tour) and she was very knowledgeable of the origins and pairings.

The BEST Tasting with Wendy

We did our tour with Wendy and it was amazing. She was very friendly, patient and knowledgeable.

We had a great time, laughing talking and Shari g our love of rum and chocolate.

Response from ViatorJune 25, 2026

Kayla, our goal is for every visit to become a memorable experience in the heart of Getsemaní, and we're delighted to know Wendy helped make that happen for you. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review. It’s wonderful to hear that Wendy adapted the experience in both English and Spanish, creating a comfortable space for you to enjoy the tour while practicing the language. The combination of rum, chocolate, local stories, and great conversation is exactly what we hope our guests take away from their time with us. We're especially glad you had the opportunity to explore the diversity of our rums and learn more about their cultural significance. Having a quieter evening and a private setting certainly makes those moments even more special. Thank you for spending part of your Cartagena experience with us. We hope to welcome you back the next time you're in the city perhaps for another tasting and a few more Spanish lessons along the way!
