Traveler reviews
Great tour with amazing value for money
Great experience, from the time of booking communication was timely, we booked the day before the tour but everything was organised and delivered as expected. Our tour guide, Carlos, was very knowledgeable, friendly and patient, it was great to hear all about the history of Cartagena whilst visiting the main tourist spots. Great value for money as our hotel had quoted a higher price for a shorter tour. In a city where you can feel ripped off at times, this tour was excellent value for money, honest and timely communication, and will definitely be using this tour company again. Thank you!

Carlos was easy going and comfortable to be with on this tour. He demonstrated knowledge on the history of Cartagena. Our tour included San Felipe, convent and the wall city. The tour was educational. Highly recommend.
Cartagena excursion
Castro was a terrific tour guide. He tailored our excursion totally to our own needs and wants. He certainly conveyed the history and love of his city, Cartagena. Alex was our driver. He expertly managed the crazy traffic of the city.
