Wonderful tour connecting us to Cartagena
We shared an incredible journey through the life Gabriel Garcia Marquez as we walked around Cartagena. The group guide, Juliet, is funny, charming and extremely knowledgeable. I am sure we will all go back and reread 100 Years of Solitude and many other of Marquez’s shorter books. Our guide was took interest in all of us and our perspectives. I highly recommend the tour!
