Personalized and friendly tour tailored to your interests! - Carlos was an amazing tour guide who took me to a lot of spots to take some great pictures. He also explained the history and background of the sites and the art as we passed by.
He also pointed out specialty stores like coffee boutiques with special coffee from the region.
We even saw sloths and tiny monkeys in the Parque Centenario!
Carlos, thanks for all the pictures! I'm glad I'm able to show my family how much I love this place.

Amazing walking tour - Our tour guide was a nice young lady. The amount of history you learn was awesome. Make sure you have your walking shoes on it is by far the most walking we have done since we arrived in Cartagena.

Old city walk - We had a lovely time with a guide that found shade on a blistering hot day. The architecture was amazing. She was knowledgeable and helped us navigate the mazes of street vendors, often negotiating for better prices when we did want to purchase something. We wanted to see churches and we got into several. Thank you for a wonderful morning in Cartagena.

Great tour! Highly recommend! - This was a great tour and Sam was an amazing tour guide. He was full of interesting information, his English was perfect, and he was funny. I was traveling with 4 young adults (ages 20-22) and they were highly engaged the entire time. We saw so many beautiful parts of the old walled city. I highly recommend this tour!

Nice walking tour with the hop on hop off bus - Our walking tour was informative. Our guide was friendly and very helpful in sharing information about the historic area. We toured in the morning and it still got quite hot. Afternoon may have been unbearable.

A worthwhile learning experience - My guide Carlos (Charles) was friendly, knowledgeable, and considerate. As we rode between sites he told about events that occurred along the route, and Milna (?) would slow down or stop as was appropriate, they worked together very well. At the sites where we stopped he was never hurried, Vern informed, and always answered any questions. Even though this was not my first visit to Cartagena, he pointed out countless things I had not noticed before. A very relaxed tour. He even offered to help me plan another excursion!

Cartagena is a city that will always be missed and should be revisited, as countless are the historic points - Cartagena is the ultimate expression of the history of Spanish colonization, local culture and the scene of major historical events that involved battles and conquests.

A beautiful and picturesque place - The route through the walled city of Cartagena is really beautiful, its streets and architecture are spectacular, it is like a time travel in the time of the pirates, certainly a romantic place, with great landscapes and squares, maybe lack better services and restaurants to hang out, but it is very beautiful.
