Excellent Excursion
We participated in the city tour, with admission to the San Felipe de Barajas Castle, the Santa Cruz de la Popa convent, a walk through the center, and the emerald factory, among others, because the tour was very complete. The service, the treatment, and the punctuality were excellent. Both the guide Fernando and the driver and Daniel García were very attentive to us. Fernando has a lot of knowledge and conveys it in a humorous way, so you enjoy it and learn at the same time. Daniel accompanied us on the journey and assisted the group while we walked. Everyone was very kind, including the driver who always waited for us nearby so we wouldn't have to walk much. I will contact you again for tours if I return to Cartagena.
