2-hour MAGDATOURS cruise on the Magdalena River in Barranquilla, with big bridge views, English service, restroom onboard, and a party vibe.
“Pros: a complete view of the great Magdalena River. Great opportunity for pictures. Cons: no actual tour or educational information given. This is a party-style boat. Loud music, beer… I would suggest doing some reading on the Magdalena; its history, importance, ecosystems, fauna, fish, indigenous people etc. Caviat: arrange hotel pick up. The neighborhood where the boat dock is located is not so safe at night. That statement came from a local! If you’re traveling during the raining season, bring a raincoat for this tour.”

Taste Barranquilla’s Colombian Caribbean flavors on a 4-hour downtown food tour with hotel pickup, guided tastings, and local stories.
“The tour guide was pleasant. I would not call this a food tour. We had a sampler plate at one restaurant and that was it. Did not taste the different fruits of Colombia, or juices, no pandebono, etc. I have been to different cities of Colombia and like to do the tours to have a guide, see some cool things, and put some pesos in the economy and someone's pocket. This will be my last experience with Gran Colombia Tours. Paid $130 USD for two people and they wanted extra to pickup 20 mins outside the city and let me know the day of the event. Seems more like a…”
