Great tour! Authentic & led by a man who has lived there since birth along with his family. Amazing home cooked meal at the end was the perfect icing! Highly recommend!
I was so glad that we were able to book several excursions through Cesar. Cesar was very quick in responding, and put an itinerary together for the 4 days that we were in Cartagena. The first day, we got picked up from the airport and brought to our hotel. In the afternoon, Cesar picked us up and we did a city tour of Cartagena. Definitely learned a lot from Cesar. Castillo San Felipe de Barajas was definitely worth seeing. After having visited so many forts, this one definitely was worth seeing. Cesar showed us the different door knockers, and explained their meaning behind it. The following day we went to Volcán de Lodo El Totumo (mud volcano), and we had such an unforgettable time there. Our driver, Fabian and guide Katerine were incredible. We had so much fun with Katerine, and definitely would recommend her as your guide. In the afternoon, we did a city bike tour with Katerine again, and learned so much about beautiful Cartagena. Our last excursion we went to San Basilio de Palenque, and our guide was Victor, a native from Palenque, we learned so much about this African village, and this definitely was worth visiting. If you are planning to go to Cartagena, and wondering what excursions and which tour company to use, we highly recommend Peace Travel Colombia. Cesar is great in putting an itinerary together, and is is always available to talk to you.
Excellent tour that provided a wide-ranging introduction to the life of this community, with examples of cultural performance, a school visit, etc, all explained very well by the tour guide.
If you’re visiting the Cartagena area, this is the Palenque trip you want to take. Our guide, Victor, who is from Palenque, was incredible. He created space for everyone on the tour to bring their own perspective to the experience while also doing a great job explaining the history of Palenque—from its origins to present day. What made the tour really special were the small touches that helped you feel connected to the community. We were welcomed with a dance performed by young Palenque residents, and there was even an opportunity to step into a boxing ring and learn a few techniques—something that added a fun and authentic cultural element to the visit. Overall, it was a great experience. The trip didn’t feel too long, but it was meaningful enough that you walk away with a deeper understanding and appreciation of Palenque and its history. Highly recommend.
This was one of THE BEST parts of my trip to Cartegena. It was probably the highlight. Victor was an amazing guide and brought knowledge and humor to us. Thank you to EVERYONE who shared their culture with us from the boxing, candy making, to the dancing! I would HIGHLY recommend this tour.
Had a wonderful time on this tour. Victor and Carlos were very accommodating and helpful. The tour lasted a little longer than expected, but it was still very good and worth the experience.
Great history tour with Sofia and the homemade lunch was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS 😋 I'd book this tour again to have that homemade meal again. Book It!
Cesar and Fabian provided the complete cultural immersion tour during our stay in Cartagena. We visited Palenge and the 5 Islands. We also used their services to take our college kids to airport. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, safe and taken care of. I've used many tour companies for my travels around Colombia and this has been by far the best experience. They will be on my speed dial for our next visit.

Absolutely a 5 out of 5. The tour company, guides, and driver went well above and beyond to deliver excellent communication and service. The tour of Palenque started with gracious hospitality but also a very sobering reminder of how and why the village was established. Every stop in Palenque was entertaining, informative, and underscored the pride the Palenque people. And a great lunch too!

What a great tour. Catherine was our guide to Palenque and Sophia did the local history tour part. The history of the village was explained and the walking tour was well done. The stops in the village with the explanations were great and the people we met we friendly. Lunch was out of this world.
Thank you very much . It was pleasure to give you one of the best experiences in Cartagena.
