Fabulous Private Tour of Cartagena - We swapped from a big group tour to this private tour and spent 4.5 hours touring around Cartagena. Our guide Nima was very good and knew the areas and information about it extremely well. Our driver was great and we felt safe in our van that seated 9 so we had plenty of room and water was provided. We went up to the Monestary, toured it, and had an amazing view of the city. Down to the Fort which was great, to the craft markets which were originally weapon storage rooms and late prison cells. A walking tour through the old town which had some lovely buildings, restaurants etc. Into Cartagena Cathedral which had lovely alter, paintings, & statues. We did go to a lovely Emerald shop where we were offered a drink and there was no pressure to buy. There were some beautiful jewellery. This tour was great and all 4 of us enjoyed it immensely. Would recommend it to all visiting Cartagena.
