Walking Tour - I want to recommend 100% this tour. Our guide Kike was amazing. Very well prepared, super entertaining on your tour and super professional. The tour is beautiful, you have to go wanting to walk, but it is totally worth it. Really spectacular 👌

Feel the love for the Walled City of Cartagena through the enthusiasm and kindness of this young guide. - I can say that from the very moment the janitor sent me Kikhe's photo for the meeting point, I felt the good energy radiating from his soul. We connect instantly. The tour of the Walled City lasted two hours, and I do not regret a single step I took with him while discovering the history of Cartagena. With Kikhe it is not a monologue, it feels like a conversation between lifelong friends. He didn't leave out a single detail. We went from the neighborhood in the east of the city, walked along the walls, through its streets and squares, and visited its main buildings, crossing the three neighborhoods until we reached the west. The tour also included Gethsemane, a vibrant and colorful neighborhood, outside the main walls of the ancient city. Along the way I noticed how, time and again, people who work in the city, whether in local businesses or as tour guides, greeted him with great warmth. That further confirmed that I was not alone with someone respected for their work, but with a great human being. Support this young entrepreneur, it's gold. Fully recommended.

Good experience - Since Trip Advisor is saying I can't use your name. I'm just say the tour guide was very patient, professional & knowledgeable. I had a wonderful time. Eating street food, drinking coffee & going 2 the Emerald Museum. I just recently broke my ankle and he was very patient and took special time with me. Well worth the money. Thank u for a wonderful time
