Amazing experience - Gerardo was an amazing guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Cartagena and on top of it, he and his family really represent the live history of the city! It was a privilege learning about not also Cartagena but its people and art too. I will be back for another one in the future :)

Wonderful and great. Plan - Gerardo:
Thank you so much for the amazing tour you gave us of the heroic city of Cartagena! It was a walk full of history, details and anecdotes that made us see the city with different eyes.
You noticed the love, knowledge and professionalism with which you guided us, and it was a luxury to discover Cartagena from that special look that your family has from the world of cinema.
Really, thank you for sharing with us and for doing so in such a unique and enjoyable way. We enjoy it so much and hopefully we can repeat it soon!
A hug,

A collection of characters! - Very nice! The bike ride is pleasant, Geraldo takes good care to supervise your child during the bike tour. The bikes are not brand new but work very well. Numerous anecdotes about Geraldo’s family history and its connection to the cinema, in addition to more historical stories and encounters with characters from the city or friends along the way, enrich and enchant your vision of the city. We recommend starting with the tour before visiting any museum or restaurants to enjoy the recommendations. A great experience!

Highly recommended! - Gerardo was a great guide, opening up the historical gates to the city of Cartagena! We walked around quite a bit in Cartagena, but the bike tour and Gerardo’s stories and insights really added a lot to our understanding of the place, discovering new streets and alleys, movie scenes and cultural events in town that showed us the soul of Cartagena.

Great bike tour, The BEST - The tour guide Gerardo is quite the story teller. We learned so much about the History of Cartagena and also the politics.
We stopped for some fresh orange juice mixed with lemon ( so refreshing) fed coconut to the local monkeys and drank Colombian coffee from the vendors. He is very kind and speaks perfect English, Spanish and Italian. The bikes were in great shape and had a fresh bottle of water for us. Don’t look any further, this is the ONLY tour you want to go on, if it’s by bike!😎

10/10 Absolutely Fantastic! - Absolutely fantastic! 10/10. Geraldo is amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable & is an excellent guide. He is so warm & friendly & we felt v comfortable. It was our 1st bike tour & we would highly recommend. It felt like quite an adventure & was a perfect way to experience the sights & sounds. We truly felt immersed in the history & culture of Cartagena. Geraldo has a long family history in the area & knows everyone & everything. We stopped for breaks & enjoying fresh orange juice & at another stop wonderful coffee. We also saw sloths & monkeys at the park. Definitely book this!

BEST TOUR in Cartagena!!! - Absolutely without a doubt the very best way to see the city! We have done bicycle tours like this one all over the world and this is by far the best one we’ve ever done! We went with a lovely family from Cincinnati and had a wonderful time. Saw all the major sights, learned about the history and culture. Gerardo was a most knowledgeable guide and he truly loves his city!
