Super Recommended!! - Super recommended, the tour very complete , the guides very professional, always very friendly, we had a spectacular full day.
All the very attentive staff since I contacted the tourOperator by WhatsApp to see the details of the Tour , always kept an eye on everything.
The day of the Tour since we were picked up at the hotel, the boat tour, visiting each island, snorkeling, and each of the included activities, closing with the experience of seeing the Placton at night, each of the included tours was fulfilled , we actually paid very good price for everything we got and more .. We were very happy , thank you very much for this unforgettable experience!!

Cartagena Islands the most - I really enjoyed the tour, considerable distance of boat trip at very good speed (especially on the return treads on it thoroughly). Expert driver and guide and very good vibe. Beautiful beaches, except Cholon I didn't like, too crowded. I would recommend it. Quiet beach and White beach the most, plus Coral Island where they serve an otherworldly pina colada.

Good start..missed portions - First portion was amazing, then there was a lot of confusion and we were directed to the wrong boat and returned before completion of the tour

It was an interesting day tour - It was too many stops to give passengers rides to different destinations. The tour guide only spoke Spanish and not English.

Ports markets trip. - The trip is 70% on the boat and 30% on a tiny bit of island where lots of locals try to sell you something. It feels more like an ugly port market than a Caribbean paradise.

Extremely disappointing – a complete tourist trap - We booked the “Top 3 Islands” tour with Caramba Tours in Cartagena. Unfortunately, the experience was nothing like what was advertised.
Instead of luxury transport, we were picked up by an old, delayed bus and spent over 1.5 hours collecting tourists around the city. The guide spoke only Spanish, despite English being clearly promised. The so-called drinks service consisted of warm canned beer and water.
The islands were overcrowded, dirty, and full of trash, with very short stops that barely allowed time to enjoy anything. Lunch was poor quality and served in unhygienic conditions.
The final stop was loud, polluted, and far from relaxing. The return boat ride felt unsafe, with the boat speeding through high waves and soaking everyone onboard. No transport back to the hotel was provided.
Other tourists and even locals confirmed this is a common experience. This tour is misleading, poorly organized, and a waste of time and money.
Avoid it — a classic tourist trap.

Deception and lack of coordination - Big deception for me on this tour. No one speak english, the taxi that was suppose to pick me up but never show-up on time and I had less than 10 minutes to find the bus and the meeting place. Lack of coordination, no communication, no english guide. The bus was so really old compare the the other tour bus. The islands visit were nice but you only spend 30-40 minutes on them.
