Unrivalled experience to know Cartagena - An excellent experience knowing all the details of Cartagena, its history and its gastronomy. The tour was extensively explained by the guide, Nancy, whom I thank for all the time spent and extensive knowledge. It's a wonderful tour.

Delightful - Fabulous tour with Mario. We enjoyed the best of the walled old city of Cartagena and Getsamani. Great commentary offered by Mario throughout. We were able to capture beautiful street photography, saw sloths and monkeys, and enjoyed local flavors of food and life. Prompt air-conditioned transportation from and to the cruise ship pier, with time to spare. Highly recommend this delightful tour and guide Mario!

Beautiful, colorful intro to Colombia - We enjoyed the absolute best time on this tour with Mario. He contacted us the day before via WhatsApp to ensure he could introduce himself and customize our tour to our interests. We wanted to do more of a street photography tour with some snacks along the way. He delivered that and so so much more. He was able to find the most colorful tapestry of life in Cartagena. We enjoyed Getsamani and the wall city, with historical and cultural commentary along the way. He treated us to wonderfully fresh juices, fruits, arepas and other goodies. We thoroughly enjoyed every piece of this tour, and felt completely safe and comfortable with Mario, knowing that he would get us back to the ship on time. He is an absolute gem of a tour guide - a friend and guide to his beautiful Colombia. Highly recommend this tour to any cruiseship passengers on tight schedules and anyone else. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Historical walking tour with food!!! - We enjoy taking food tours because if we are lucky not only is it a food tour, but a tour sharing the history of the area as well. Mario was very knowledgeable about the food, traditions and history of Cartagena and answered all our questions.

Fun and tasty way to get the see the Old City. - Wonderful experience trying street food at ten (!!) locations. Do not come having just eaten! Karen was superb, describing the contents of what we were eating, the history of each dish, and where to purchase it in the future. Fun way to get to know the Old City.

We had a wonderful “taste” of Cartagena — food, history, culture and more! - Our tour was excellent. Jhon was patient, knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Our excursion was labeled as a “street food tour,” but Jhon added history, culture, architecture and more. AND the food choices were terrific.

Nice tour not enough food for the price. - Fabian was very nice and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour and love his enthusiasm. We were disappointed in the number of food tasting.s. The arepa and the ceviche were great as was the juice. The dessert was tasty but we expected much more food. No cafe or Cerveza either. The trip ended abruptly after a visit to an emerald shop. Not sure what had to do with a food tour. The tour was less than 3 hours. Not quite how it was advertised and for the price.

Sad but true - Be careful rip-off! Guide does not appear at the agreed location. Should be the cruise terminal. After 2 phone calls she is assured she has sent a car, which did not come I then sent my location via WhatsApp. 30 minutes later. If a message came back she would have been waiting for us for over an hour (!) and therefore cancel the appointment and wish us a nice day. Very unfair than that big the terminal is not there and to miss yourself there was almost impossible. I don't think she was there. So please be careful. Because holidays are precious
