Friday Night Bar Crawl in Cartagena, Colombia
Description
IMPORTANT- There is a dress code for this tour! Guys must wear pants and closed toed shoes on this tour. Swimwear, sandals, shorts, hats, sportswear, sunglasses, and sleeveless shirts are NOT allowed! Furthermore, we do not allow any aspects of sex tourism either. We are a group of local friends that host bar crawls in Colombia. We wanted to give foreigners and tourists a unique "locals' experience", so we started these bar crawls. This bar crawl consists of 3 local bars and 1 club, all located in the center of Cartagena. Centro Historico is one of the most popular nightlife areas, especially among university students and tourists, in Cartagena. We will meet for 1 hour at the first bar at 8:30 pm to congregate and converse. We will then proceed to the next bars every hour, finally finishing off at the club by 12:15 am. Sometimes locals also come on our crawls, so you may have the opportunity to connect with some Colombians and practice your Spanish!

Great bar selection! Guide was friendly and fun.
We were scheduled for the Friday night bar crawl and were already en route when we were notified of the cancellation — only about one hour before the tour start time. Because our hotel was over an hour away, we had already arranged and paid for expensive transportation. Had we been notified earlier, we could have canceled our transportation and made other plans for the evening. The late notice caused unnecessary inconvenience and expense.
Hi! We are so sorry about this! You were our only booking for the tour and we attempted to reach out to you well before the tour began to see if you would have liked to still come on the tour. We did not receive a response, so at 7:00 PM, we cancelled the tour and you were notified via email. Our tour begins at 8:30 PM, so that is 1 hour and 30 minutes before the start of the tour. We do state in our listing that a minimum number of travelers need to book in order for us to have a tour.
This was a really great tour with Laura!! She was absolutely amazing the entire time and even walked us back to our hotel at the end of the night. The bars were a lot of fun, especially 7 times. I would do it again!
Great guide. Not so great tour. Starts super early for Colombian standards. Bars you visit are empty. We were supposed to get 50 K COP worth of drinks at the first bar but we didn't. No big deal but the bars we went to weren't that great and the drinks were overpriced. Didn't get the 10% discounts either. So overall pretty disappointing. I've been on several pub crawls and this one was the worst. On the bright side, Laura, our guide was a sweetheart. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time. Under the circumstances she did her best and for that I really commend her efforts.
Hi! Just posting this for people who read the above review- we begin our tour at 8:30 PM which is actually the time people do start going out (if we started any later, we wouldn’t be able to visit all 4 locations on the crawl). We do not offer 50k worth of drinks. As stated in our description, we receive a 50k COP promo at the first bar. The group did indeed receive our 10% discount at the next 2 bars.
This Bar Crawl was very boring and they take you from bar to bar to basically spend money. Nothing‘s included and they’ll give you a percentage off. We ended up leaving the tour.
Hi Nicole- I am so sorry you felt that way. We list everything that we offer in our description. I believe you only stayed for the first 2 bars (out of 4).
Paulina is such a great host, she made sure everyone was comfortable and got what they needed as well as making a good environment for the group to interact and have fun in the different bars and clubs. Great for solo travelers to meet locals and other tourists
Our activity was cancelled a few hours before the scheduled time, and we had no reservations for other places and couldn’t get reservations anywhere. They refunded us, but we had to make last minute plans .
Hi Marlin- unfortunately you were our only booking so we couldn’t operate the tour.
Absolutely amazing!!! The guide was informative and kind!! We drank, danced, talked and laughed!! It was very entertaining and we explored the city.
Paulina was an amaizing host, helped us soooo well ! Helped us even with recomandations after. Amaizing experience
Paulina was awesome. We danced a lot ! We clubbed like crazy. Honestly a great experience that I would definitely recommend and repeat it myself. I loved Paulina energy. She was a great vibe for sure ❤️
