From Cartagena’s market to ceviche: a delicious anniversary afternoon with my daughter

Booking this for our anniversary trip with my teenage daughter was wonderfully easy. The coordinator replied within an hour, confirmed our hotel pickup, and even noted my shellfish allergy. The itinerary was perfectly paced: market visit, fresh ingredients, hands-on ceviche workshop, then tasting everything we prepared. Our local host was warm and patient, and the small group made the whole Cartagena afternoon feel personal.
