I want to recommend 100% this tour. Our guide Kike was amazing. Very well prepared, super entertaining on your tour and super professional. The tour is beautiful, you have to go wanting to walk, but it is totally worth it. Really spectacular 👌
I can say that from the very moment the janitor sent me Kikhe's photo for the meeting point, I felt the good energy radiating from his soul. We connect instantly. The tour of the Walled City lasted two hours, and I do not regret a single step I took with him while discovering the history of Cartagena. With Kikhe it is not a monologue, it feels like a conversation between lifelong friends. He didn't leave out a single detail. We went from the neighborhood in the east of the city, walked along the walls, through its streets and squares, and visited its main buildings, crossing the three neighborhoods until we reached the west. The tour also included Gethsemane, a vibrant and colorful neighborhood, outside the main walls of the ancient city. Along the way I noticed how, time and again, people who work in the city, whether in local businesses or as tour guides, greeted him with great warmth. That further confirmed that I was not alone with someone respected for their work, but with a great human being. Support this young entrepreneur, it's gold. Fully recommended.
An amazing experience from start to finish! From the first contact everything was clarity, kindness and willingness to help us put together the perfect plan. During the tour, the professionalism and passion of the team were noticed, always attentive that we were comfortable, enjoying and living the best of each place. We loved the organization, the punctuality and that warm touch that makes one feel like friends. We would definitely pick them again. Highly recommended!

Best tour-guide ever! I had a private tour and it was awesome. He was so passionate about the city that I felt like being part of it. I can really recommend this tour :)
It was a great pleasure for me to be able to accompany you during that long tour. I also learned about your culture and what you're doing now. This was a good conversation and that is very valuable. I hope you can soon return to Cartagena and other places in Colombia that I can recommend. Thank you for everything and keep enjoying your trips.
We had a wonderful time with KIKHE. He was patient, kind & professional. We enjoyed walking the beautiful streets of Cartenga and stopping at a coffee shop & the Emerald Museum
Thank you for visiting my city. As I told you, we make a living by serving you and showing you the best of Cartagena. That is what we do with much love. I hope you can return to Colombia soon and continue to be happy here.
Since Trip Advisor is saying I can't use your name. I'm just say the tour guide was very patient, professional & knowledgeable. I had a wonderful time. Eating street food, drinking coffee & going 2 the Emerald Museum. I just recently broke my ankle and he was very patient and took special time with me. Well worth the money. Thank u for a wonderful time
