Must do when in Cartagena - Great islands, fun people, amazing guide (Giuseppe), good food, amazing beaches and crispy clear waters for a very fair price. 10/10 would recommend

Worth the trip - This tour was very enjoyable. Although you don’t get to really enjoy Barranquilla, you do get a taste of it by seeing a few landmarks. You do get to spend a long time in Santa Marta exploring the town and the beach which was very nice. The meals provided were very tasty and the guides were knowledgeable, friendly and very professional. Highly recommend this tour. Just keep in mind that it is a long tour with lots of driving, but the bus was very comfortable and I feel it was worth it.

A big adventure! - A quick way to get to know 2 cities, although the time is short, you make the most of it. Barranquilla still has a lot to give and Santa Marta the same.

Barranquilla and Santa Marta - Great experience, charlie the guide was excellent, very helpful and informative. Excellent job done.

The tour only covers the basic picture sites of Barranquilla. And a quick tour of Santa Marta. Overall good for the pric - Good tour. Covers a lot for just one day. If you only have one day. This is enough. Just wish they have better busses and better lunch places.

Too much time wasted to put a tick on the list of things to see - They picked me up from the hotel at 3:55 in the morning, we arrived back at 8:15 p.m., that is, more than 16 hours of travel. It took them more than an hour to pick up all the passengers and leave Cartagena. The lucky ones staying in the north were the last to pick up and the first to drop off. The tour is quite superficial: In Barranquilla we stopped at 4 points, in each one we spent 20-30 minutes just so that each passenger could take their photo. The guide's explanations are limited, his English sometimes difficult to follow. Luckily in Santa Marta we had a local guide who gave us a 1 hour walking tour (20 minutes in the museum which is free), but the guide had to interpret because the girl didn't speak English. We had an hour and a half to go to the beach or stay at the pool right at the hottest time (after lunch). The food could be improved: Breakfast is a homemade ham and cheese sandwich. The hotel where they serve lunch needs better presentation and cleanliness. The transportation is also not of supreme quality.

Pass - not worth it (my opinion) - Pass - not only was our tour guide BLAH, but the tour itself wasn't worth the 13 hours - harsh, maybe, but we booked the 13 hr. tour and it was more like 16 hrs which isn't what we booked - beach and pool portion a waste of time - the hotel where you eat, swim, and use amenities for beach; NO AMENITIES and pool fits 10 people at most and that's kind... 1st viator tour that did not satisfy - been on many that were great, this one, NOT SO MUCH.

Very Disapointed- we were robbed! - E-TRIPS/VIATOR CONTACT RE ROBBERY We had our tour on Friday March 29, 2024. WE WERE VERY DISAPOINTED AND WE WANT TO REPORT A ROBBERY !!!!!!! This is very serious. We were picked up by the tour bus at 4:30 am. As we had our suitcases with us (we were staying in Santa Marta, not returning to Cartagena), they placed the suitcases in the LOCKED luggage compartment. They told us MANY TIMES: This is SECURE, only the DRIVER has the key. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE BELIEVED THEM. THEY HAVE A THIEF WORKING FOR THEIR COMPANY. After lunch, we took our suitcases and went directly to our hotel, where we found that our iPADs had been STOLEN FROM THE SUITCASE. I contacted the guide IMMEDIATELY, sending her a picture from my tracking device, showing that the iPADs were STILL IN THE BUS WHERE IT WAS PARKED (about 10 km from our hotel). She only answered 1 hour later when the bus was on its way back to Cartagena. Over the next 3 hours I sent her MULTIPLE SCREENSHOTS showing her that the iPADs were STILL WITH THE BUS!!!!! I tracked them all the way back to Cartagena. The guide did check the storage compartment and said the iPADs were not there. THIS WAS POINTLESS, SINCE CLEARLY THEY DID NOT FALL OUT OF THE SUITCASE, THEY WERE TAKEN OUT BY SOMEONE WHO HAD ACCESS!!!! And they put them in THEIR pocket/bag. According to the guide, only the DRIVER had keys to the compartment. So it is one of them who took the iPADs!!! I contacted the tour company eTrips REPORTING THE ROBBERY. ALTHOUGH THEY RESPONDED TO MY EMAIL RAPIDLY, THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING SINCE, IN SPITE OF ME CONTACTING THEM REPEATEDLY. THEY COULD AT LEAST HAVE OFFERRED TO REFUND OUR TOUR PAYMENT! But they have done nothing! After three weeks of waiting, we have decided to post a review. I CANNOT STRESS HOW DISAPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED WE ARE. THIS IS NO WAY FOR VISITORS TO THE COUNTRY TO BE TREATED.

I don't recommend it, bad experience - The truth is I didn't like it at all, the bus was old and very bad, the air conditioning couldn't be regulated (the ducts were broken), either very cold or very hot and the seats rang every time we went over a pothole, we waited for some passengers in the road for an hour and no one told us anything, the tour through Barranquilla is done running and lunch in Santa Marta is like in a school casino, and the pool... not to mention, very small for the amount of people.

WORST TOUR EVER - The only good part of this was the actual site seeing. Other than that the bus we were in had a malfunction where all the exhaust fumes were getting into the bus. The fumes had my face black like if I was handling charcoal. My white shirt was totally black by the end of the tour. The AC in the bus was leaking on all the passengers. Passengers had to scramble the whole trip. Worst tour ever.
