Amazing Cartagena Guide

Our guide, Harry, was wonderful. We appreciated his thoughtfulness, great sense of humor, and extensive knowledge of Cartagena and its history / culture. Our driver, Hendrick, was also great. We’d recommend them both to anyone who does this tour in the future!

Amazing Tour for a Port Day

Luis and Trefone were an amazing duo! Luis was extremely knowledgeable and Trefone easily navigated traffic. They were both kind and attentive and made sure we were able to see everything included in the tour itinerary even after our cruise ship was delayed getting into port. Scion Tours responded quickly and were understanding of the situation when I messaged them the morning of our tour to let them know that we would be late for pickup. I would highly recommend this tour for a port day!

Nico was a phenomenal...

Nico was a phenomenal tour guide. He knew everything about Cartagena. Got to see all the main sights, some on foot and some from the nicely air conditioned car. Don’t forget your sunscreen and water!

Better than a ship excursion!

My friend booked a private tour with J.J. following a food tour when our cruise ship was in port. J.J. arranged a time and place to meet us, and he was there early. We had some time constraints, and he worked with those. He took us on a walking tour which we enjoyed, and drove us through other areas before taking us to a high area with a great view of the city. We very much enjoyed our brief stay in Cartagena and though J.J. was a great guide. Highly recommend.
