Great walking tour of Gethsemani!
Fantastic tour! Our guide Jhon was very knowledgeable and entertaining and we learned a lot about the history and culture of Cartagena. Murals/graffitti were really interesting, and it was great to learn the stories behind each one. Jhon kept to our pace (slow), stopped when we needed to rest, and was careful about our safety as we crossed streets and navigated uneven sidewalks. Very professional pick-up service and return to the ship. Highly recommended!
Operator response

It’s great to hear Jhon kept a comfortable pace and ensured your safety throughout. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Colombia with Gran Colombia Tours soon!

The tour was amazing, our guide Aejando provided an exceptional service, not only offering valuable information about the history of Colombia; its great characters and precise dates, but also deeply engaging with the experience of my family, a friendly and committed person who transmits his passion for his country and work to tourists, helping us connect and understand his culture
I would recommend this tour to anyone, and I would repeat the experience without hesitation.

Excellent, relaxed tour through Getsamani art
This was an enjoyable, relaxed walk through the streets of Getsemani neighborhood to admire the street art. Our guide spoke excellent english and did a great job of pointing out specific paintings and explaining the history and context. Without him, we could have done the same walk but would not have known the significance of what we were seeing nor appreicaited it as much.
Operator response

This tour is best suited for people who are interested in the history of Cartagena
The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the city however, of the two hour tour,one hour and 40 minutes was the history and 20 minutes was about the graffiti. This is more of a history tour than an artwork tour for those who might be interested.
Operator response

He was extremely knowledgeable about this neighborhood and the art minerals along with the artist involved. He had a really great way of explaining the context in the political nature of a lot of these murals as well.
I highly recommend going on this tour !

Getsemani...a must see in Cartagena!
We had a wonderful tour through Getsemani with our guide John who was very knowledgeable about the history of Cartagena, the neighborhood Getsemani and the street artists who created the wonderful murals that decorate its walls. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Cocina de Pepina before the tour and then stuck around after to enjoy a drink and street food outdoors on one of the brightly decorated streets amidst the locals and tourists. Getsemani is a must see and John was an excellent guide!
Operator response
Hola! Thank you so much for your review. John will be happy once he reads how much you enjoyed spending the day with him as the tour guide. Cartagena and Getsemani are indeed charming places, we're glad to read you had such a nice time. Thank you for choosing us!
