The worst’s

The Tour was in Spanish and the tour guide ignored me and My Husband who spoke English. I didn’t know what was going on and they just got off and on the bus without letting me and My Husband know, so we got off the second stop which was five stops for the tour. we took a Uber home. I have never felt degraded and the worst I paid for the experience

Santa Marta failute

Horrible!! A dirty broken open air public smelly bus with benches. It made multiple stops and after an hour we stopped at some gas station and we got off and hailed a taxi. No tour no nothing. Cost us $60 to get back to our boat. Viator you really let us down 😣😩

It is a way to see the city in just a 3 hours tour. The only negative thing was that they overbooked it. The site said it’s for 30 people, however they allow almost 40. Some of the clients were with the kids on theirs owns legs.

Amazing landscapes seen in the city

I loved the view from the bay and the stories of the Pescaito neighborhood, I never thought Santa Marta had so many beautiful corners, it is worth touring several times

Very nice city, I liked

The great time on the city tour, we saw historic places that we did not know existed. The guide was very friendly and explained everything in a very clear way.
