The most fun. - Such a great time. Once the bus got moving, the party never stopped. Our guide was excellent. And the music was great.

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.

Highly recommended tour - First of all, thanks to Jonathan for waiting for me🫣. I was a little late and he very kindly gave me time to get up.
The experience was very good, highly recommended for those looking to have a good time and go partying.

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

No bat/club stops - We didn’t go to any bars or clubs. Just drove around the city for two hours. I had to contact them several times to get information on pick up. Didn’t get the actual pick up time until an hour before the time they wanted to pick us up. Luckily, we were already dressed.

Not again! - The music was fun but we didnt know that Cartagena party buses dont actually take you to real bar stops. They dont even let you buy alcohol on the bus. They have the same vendors hustling on the streets selling you the same tired beer and cocktails from the street and they dont leave you alone. They reached thekr hands all in the bus touching us trying to get are attention! All the other party buses I have attended have given out free shots and take you to 2 or 3 bars. This took you to landmarks that were too dark to see at night and a park with homeless people.

No go - Bus did not show up at 8pm and I left by taxi at 8:30pm. I was bothered by many vendors. Standing on the street was not fun for me

Avoid - Tour operator never replied to our message to confirm time and place of pick up, we were not able to attend the tour and lost money paid for it.
