Really great way to learn about the Centro Histórico and Getsemaní - We really enjoyed our private tour with Jhon. His English was great and we learned a lot about the history of the city and Cartagena. The tour started at 8am which was really nice. The town was pretty empty, so you could take a lot of good pictures without throngs of tourists. It’s also much cooler in the morning.

Private walking tour! - This was our first time to Cartagena. We didn’t know much about the area, so this private walking tour was perfect. A little over 2 hours, but learned so much. Rafael was our guide and he was an excellent guide. . Answered all of our questions and went above and beyond. I asked about seeing sloths and he brought us to a park to see. I highly recommend this private tour and ask for Rafael and you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Rafael!

Rafael is a great host. - Rafael was an excellent host. Without him, we would have just wandered the town without any idea of what we were looking at. He gave us some historical background, and took us to places that we would definitely have missed on our own. Thanks to him, Cartagena was one of our favorite stops on our cruise. I highly recommend.

Ask for Manuel! - This was the first tour we took a day after arriving in Cartagena and we met our tour guide Manuel right by the clock tower. Our tour ended up being private which was an added bonus and Manuel was the best guide. He took all the time needed at each spot, got us water and offered to take pictures along the way which all came out great! The pace and long of the tour was just perfect and we got to see a lot of Cartagena and learn along the way. We highly recommend this tour to get oriented with the place and definitely ask for Manuel when confirming your your details!

An incredible tour!! - Andris was a fantastic tour guide - he provided so much detail to the history of Cartagena. We asked a bunch of questions and his answers were so thorough. Andris went above and beyond our expectations and we can’t recommend this tour enough!
