Fabulous city. Lots of beautiful buildings, marble streets and history. It was sometimes hard to hear the whisper system but overall was acceptable.. the food tastings were interesting and different. I wasn’t thrilled with the anchovy but the rest of my table thought it blended well. Recommend this as an tour in Cartegena
Thank you very much for your comment; we truly appreciate you sharing your positive reviews. We look forward to seeing you back in Cartagena soon!
The tour guide was good and the historical information given was interesting. Unfortunately the tapas were not to our liking. This was our 4th time to Cartegena and would have been happier having a meal at a restaurant.
Thank you for your comment. Our restaurants serve incredible food; the tapas are just a snack to go with a drink, but we’re delighted that you visit Cartagena so often!
A lot of mixups with this particular tour. We arrived at 10 am and were told that the tour began at 11. No problem, we just waited at dockside until 11. Lots of people joined the tour and they also had inaccurate information about where/when the tour began. Tour guide and a girl in training got the group moving. It was interesting and the weather was very nice until we got to the tapas part. At the first stop we had tables and all went according to the plan. The second stop was way more chaotic in a small, cramped bar that was unprepared for such a group. It didn't help that this was a holiday in Spain and everyone was coming out for food and celebration at the same time. Several of us left the tour and headed back to the cruise ship on our own. The tour company needs to rethink this particular tour.
Thank you for your feedback; we'll do our best to improve.
The tour itself was good but our tour guide was very difficult to understand. So, for this reason, I did not learn very much and it was disappointing.
Thank you for your feedback; we'll do our best to improve.
We had a wonderful tour with Bruno! Our ship was late arriving in port, but we contacted Viator and Bruno's company and they agreed to wait for us. We had great tapas offerings and selections of drinks to go with it. We tried some wonderful local vermouth. We toured the city and learned the local history and saw 4 different Roman ruins. It was a fabulous tour and you should not miss it!
Thank you so much for your review!
This tour wasn’t up to Viator standards. It was disorganized and took much longer than advertised, as the tapas places were not ready for our group. The guide’s presentation was disorganized and anecdotal, and we didn’t learn much.
Thank you for your feedback; we'll do our best to improve.
Carmelo gave us a wonderful tour in Cartegena including history and tips for visiting other places in this wonderful city. The stops where we had three delicious tapas and Sangria were great! I recommend this tour to get a good feel for the city.
Thank you so much for for your feedback!
This excursion was as described. The three tapas stops were delicious as was the sangria. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and its history
Great Guide and had a good time Mello loves his job and knows the city
Wonderful guide! We enjoyed exploring the city and trying new foods. It was the same drink in all three spots. A little more variety would have been a bit better.
