Best tour in town - Jon is just great! We had a lovely tour with Jon. He is very organized, prompt, extremely knowledgeable about Cartagena and Columbia. We asked him for recommendations for food and shopping and were very happy with his choices. Both me and my friend would highly recommend hiring Jon for exploring the city.

Outstanding tour! - John was a fantastic tour guide! He arrived on time, spoke excellent English, showed me many interesting and colorful sites in Cartagena, and was a wealth of information about the history. I got to see different parts of the city outside of the old town. The fee included a stop for some delicious juice, entrance to the monastery and comfortable transportation. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone coming to Cartagena.

4 day vacation in Cartagena - first visit and hope to return - We had a fantastic tour guide -John Torres. Ended up being a private tour just for the two of us. He showed us all the “must see” spots in Cartagena. Spent as much time as we wanted in each spot. Stopped at extra spots if we asked ( ie stores etc). Very personable. Excellent experience all around. Highly recommended if first time visiting Cartagena

Superb Tour Guide - We had Jhon (that's actually how you spell his first name) as our tour guide. His knowledge of the city, his patience, his manners, his caring and his English were impeccable. We liked him so much, that decided to hire him for an out of town tour. At all times we felt very safe with Jhon.
