Amazing 4hrs tour of Cartagena
My wife and I had a real pleasure sightseeing Cartagena with Nico (guide) and Trifon (driver) Nico was very knowledgeable and polite. They showed us the most important sights and took us to places that would be hard to visit on your own. We also stopped a few times to talk to the locals, which made the whole experience even more special. We highly recommended this travel agency as well as the services of Nico and Trifon.

Covers the important sites
The description of the tour states travelling by tuk-tuk which was not the case. However we did have a very informative tour with guide Francisco shared a lot of interesting information about Cartagena and driver Triffom who ensured our safe drive around the city. This is a good tour if you want to cover a number of sites in a few hours.

Best tour guide Luis Guerrero
If you book this tour, please book with Luis Guerrero. He, hands down, is the best tour guide I have ever had. He is attentive, highly knowledgeable, and quite funny. Furthermore, he knows a lot of the community so he is able to help you better get to know the warm and friendly people of Cartagena. Best tour guide by far!

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.
