Have 2 Go Private! Very intimate and personal. 100% better than crowded bus tour. - Excellent!! One of the best things I have ever done. Highly recommend Gilberto and this experience! You get a private experience in the mud volcano with a 25 minute massage. No other tourists. The locals that run this love this company because it respects what the locals are trying to achieve. We didn't have to tip much to get an amazing experience. Gilberto handled all the fees/tips which was nice. Excellent massage with Enrico under the beautiful sky. The mud was cool and smooth. When we got washed up in the lake we then ate delicious arepas and empanadas. As we did the tour busses showed up and you could see it wouldn't be the same experience. Gilberto is doing tourism the right way with his company. When we come back we will book everything through him. Excellent English and history. 10/10

Well worth it !! - My experience was great! We had a private driver that came and picked up us. The morning of they reached out and picked us on time. Our driver was very informative, we drove about 45mins to a hr and we had great conversations. He told us about the history of mud volcano and how everything will go when we arrive. Once we arrive we received vip service ! They held our bags, took pictures and we asked for a lot of pictures. We received massages which was optional and then we got in a bath in a warm water lagoon. We received a lil snack and then headed back out before the rain. Doing the private tour was very much worth it, we had our own privacy and didn’t have to want on anyone. But this overall experience was amazing and I would recommend.

A perfect night - Jocelyn and Daniela were amazing. They set up the entire area on the beach and made sure the experience was perfect. The massages were great. The affirmations and little ceremony beforehand were extremely appreciated.

Unique Experience - We took a private tour to the mud volcano with Gilberto. It was a unique experience and one we’re happy to have had. Gilberto was an excellent guide and explained everything in perfect English, as well as answering questions about the areas we drove past en route, and plans for developing the coast line in Cartagena. We were supposed to also visit the Pink Sea but were told it wasn’t pink at the moment because the rainy season had gone long that year. So, we chose to skip that part of the tour and spent a little more time in the mud. Our tour started at 11am and there were no lines for the volcano when we arrived, which was nice, and we only had to share it with others for a few minutes. Overall an experience you don’t want to miss!

Private mud bath! - We had an early morning departure for the mud volcano. Travel was about an hour. We were the first ones there and truly had a private experience! The woman that helped clean us in the lagoon did an amazing job as well as the person taking our pictures. We really enjoyed the empanadas and arepas. They were hot and delicious!

Good times for all - Gilberto was a wonderful host.he was professional, knowledgeable & informative. We basically had the place all to ourselves because we arrived before 9am. I recommend going early to avoid the crowds as we were leaving it was getting very crowded. Everyone that worked there was very helpful and friendly. We were group of 5 and we all enjoyed it immensely.

Great tour guide but no pink sea - Great tour guide was able to answer all of our questions and then some about Cartagena and Colombia. His English was fantastic and he was very helpful at the volcano. Pink sea isn’t operating this year due to rain so the entire tour was like 3.5 hours; no refund was offered for a portion, but I don’t view that as the tour guide’s fault. Just a word to those who might be booking.

We both liked the volcano... - We both liked the volcano mud bath. Getting cleaned up in the lake w woman pouring water on me was a new experience. I rated this low cause it was a private tour. We both felt our guide should have had more interaction w us and not the driver. I thought car smelled like an ashtray but it was comfy.
