Great times!! - This party bus was definitely a vibe! My only concern is the host/guide was not bilingual therefore, we based our actions on others.

The highlight of the trip - Cristian communicated with me on WhatsApp to let me know they got my confirmation. Jesus was the host of the chiva rumbera. We had such a great time and it made our vacation memorable. Thank you again!

Authentic Colombian Vibes: A Chiva Experience for the Adventurous -
This chiva experience was as Colombian as it gets! If you're looking for an authentic, local vibe and want to embrace the typical chiva atmosphere, this is the real deal. The Colombians on board were clearly having a blast because they knew what to expect. Just a heads up, if you're not into that kind of thing, or if you're looking for English accommodation, it might not be your scene. It's a community vibe, and you might find families with kids (with their parents, of course) and older folks enjoying the ride. Unless you're booking the whole chiva for a private party, don't expect a wild, young crowd – it's more of a quintessential Colombian experience that way.

It was a good vibe - Overall it was fun but I wish the music was more diverse but I understood that the dj was mostly playing music because of the crowd. Remember to buy your liquor/drinks before getting on the bus. The stops you make to buy the drinks will be much more

Very fun experience! - The tour was 3 hours well worth the money. It was a little awkward with little kids being there though.

Horrible Communication. Unprofessional. - If I could give less than 5 stars, I would. The description specifies that pick- up only happens in certain areas, but there are no details about what happens if you're located in other parts of Cartagena. I reached out to them 2.5 hours before the tour was due to start, asking where I was supposed to go. They contacted me 1.5 hours before the tour was due to start, telling me that I needed to get to a meet- up location 45- minutes earlier than the designated time. What then ensued was a barrage of texts and phone calls as I was trying to rush to meet the group only to be told to go to an incorrect location. After waiting by myself in a random place for 20- minutes, I left. I have now requested a full refund and that they improve their communication with customers. They apologized, but sorry, doesn't fully cut it when you only have limited vacation time.
