Essence of Cartagena on a Whirlwind - This must be one of the fastest and best ways to get an overview of Cartagena. Kikeh gives you a lot of historical details to explain what you are seeing in addition to the beautiful architecture. This helps you gain more from the experience. The walk already gives you a lot. But when you add the coffee tasting, the tour value is incomparable. I just wish there were more choices for coffee flavor, or that it wasn't only espresso. You get to see enough of the architecture, but I would suggest to adjust the itinerary to maximize the beautiful sights while avoiding the construction areas. It is a good idea to have the tour first thing in the day. It ends with free beer. I skipped it but found that sitting somewhere air conditioned to either enjoy a cool drink or a satisfying lunch is a must to end the tour. Don't skip the beer and plan ahead for a good place to have lunch.

A 100% recommended experience! - The tour with Kike was very fun. He showed us around the city and at each stop we had a different experience, whether it was what we saw, learned or tasted. We are still talking about it with my family. I should also say that Kike organized our visit to one of the Rosario islands, where we also had a rewarding experience. Thanks to all the team!!! Good luck and we hope to see you again.

Kike travel fantastic and safe - With Kike travel you go to the landline. Very serious, safe and correct. He fulfilled everything he offered us. The tours left at the time they should leave, they gave us what they should give. In short, there are so many unpleasant stories of people who end up lying down on tours and in Cartagena. With Kike it is the opposite. Super recommended. With Kike you go to the fixed With Kike travel you don't have to worry about anything. Fair prices nice tours. What they promise is what they give you. With this company you don't have to worry about something bad happening or being taken advantage of. I recommend Kike travel 100% by the way this is the 4th visit to Cartagena and Kike always hook us up. Really nice guy❤️❤️❤️❤️
