Best way to spend the day! - From the moment Nicanor and Nuvia picked us up, we knew it was going to be a great tour. He greeted us with a welcoming smile. Nicanor was friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant. We enjoyed learning the history of all the landmarks and walk around the walled city. It was a very hot day but Nicanor made sure we were well hydrated and comfortable throughout the entire tour. What a great experience, I totally recommend this tour.

Getting to know Cartagena - Wonderful, thorough tour. Our tour guide Nicanor was so knowledgeable and approachable. He gave us some wonderful insights which really helped us appreciate the areas we visited. He was in touch with us days ahead of the tour to make sure we had all the information ahead of time. As always, we are never disappointed with Viator’s professionalism and commitment to making our touring experience a success. Highly recommend the tour, but make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes, it’s an active one.

Great tour to enjoy Cartagena in a short amount of time - Very interesting and educational walking tour with Jhon! Extremely personable and friendly guide. He knew everyone that we met along the way up to the castle. Jhon treated us to a delicious mixed fruit salad as we wandered the shopping area inside the walled city .Nubia was very cautious and careful driver along the way allowing Jhon to explain more history of the area as we drove to the Popa monastery.. Highly recommend this tour’

Excellent guide who knew... - Excellent guide who knew the city and pampered us around wonderfully. It was 90F w 85% humidity and we were wilting. We had finished about half of city tour when he called his boss who brought the car and we finished the city tour in comfort. Off to the castle which was impressive. Our guide told of how successful attacks forced even better defenses ending w thick walls and cannon capable of long ranges from the fort. It was fun to walk around and imagine the past.
