Great tour, bring water, sneakers and cash - Loved the experience! Our guide Andres was super knowledgeable and kind to us at all times. Would’ve liked if there was something planned for el parque the los novios Main Street not just a walk through it (maybe a stop for a local drink or snack) but other than that everything went flawlessly, would definitely rebook with them for the next visit!

Beautiful Santa Marta - Totally worth the experience! I went with my family and my mom who loves history and ended up very satisfied. Our guide Christian Carvajalino was very knowledgeable and passionate about his work! Would recommend 10/10

The Perfect Overview of Santa Marta - Andres was charming and well informed. We toured 2 museums, museums with which he was very familiar. We took a pleasant walk along the water and then through charming streets lined with restaurants with canapés of flora and flags. There were no lags - it all happened at the perfect pace.

Good overview - As English speakers, we welcomed an English tour that connected the various parts of the area’s past. Andres did a great job. We were able to set a reasonable pace for the tour, which our teens appreciated too.

Historical Santa Marta walking tour - Wonderful walking tour of the old city and the Quinta of San Pedro Alejandrino which is the estate where Simon Bolivar passed away. Our guide Jose was fluent in English and quite flexible with our itinerary. Pick up and drop off from our hotel outside the city went smoothly. Highly recommended worth the visit!

Good tour guide but tour underwhelming - JuanDa was a very knowledgeable guide and flexible on the tour itinerary but at times difficult to understand in English. We spent most of our time in the Gold museum, the Bolivar museum and the home where Bolivar died. They were all underwhelming.
