Great tour, wonderful guide! - Took this tour with my parents, husband and aunt. Morning tour is recommended as it gets pretty hot later in the day. Was a wonderful tour. Alvaro was a great guide, very knowledgable. The pace was good, not too fast, not too slow. I really appreciated that he made sure we stopped where there was shade and even seating for my elderly father (so thoughtful!). He kept us all engaged and allowed us time to rest/bathroom break/hydrate (so important!). This was our first trip to Cartagena and gave us a really good feel for the historic center and Getsamani. We had a fairly diverse group but Alvaro managed it effortlessly. We lucked out and saw monkeys and the sloths! It was a lot to see but the tour gave us a great overview to go back to places to explore on our own. Although there are a lot of vendors on the streets, the people of Colombia are extremely friendly! I highly recommend this tour!

Tour Centro and Getsemani - We did the tour with Ingrid. Super recommended. With a lot of patience and with your sympathy you show your passion and knowledge of the city explaining every detail. In addition to your willingness to receive inquiries from each tourist to make recommendations for a better experience during your stay in the city.
