Very, very, very, but very...

A very, very, very pleasant surprise with our guide Álvaro; he told the history in a very cool way and at the end took us to eat (because we asked him to) at an exquisite and unforgettable place! I truly appreciate the treatment!!

We had a great tour of the city with our guide Nico and driver Gabriel. Nico is super knowledgeable and was perfect for us. He speaks English well and explains everything clearly. He also took some fun photos for us. Highly recommend this tour to get a flavor for the city snd learn a few things along the way.

With a short cruise stop this tour was excellent to learn a lot about Cartegena

Francisco was an excellent tour guide. He did his best to have us in the shade when we would stop for him to explain the area we were visiting. We loved The ‘convent on the hill’ , the fortress and old town. We did so much more than our friends on our cruise ship in a short amount of time ( we were never rushed) Orlando, our driver, was excellent and always respectful giving me his arm when exiting his vehicle.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour so much and that Francisco did an exceptional job, taking care of every detail for your comfort, even always seeking shade during his explanations. We're thrilled that you were able to visit such iconic places in our city. We'll also share your kind words with Orlando, who will be very pleased to know that his attentiveness and courtesy made all the difference. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Cartagena for another unforgettable experience!
