Eat, Walk, Learn with Carlos!

Carlos was fantastic!! We got to meet him right on time, and walked Getsemani and the walled city. Got a lot of knowledge about history of the area and the food we ate, and he was able to keep my 15 year old son very engaged the whole time as well! Because it was private we had some flexibility in some of the things we got to ask about and see. The food was incredible, his history knowledge was incredible and he was so kind and thoughtful throughout the whole time. We even sent him some messages after we departed asking for help and he immediately provided recommendations and advice.

Unrivalled experience to know Cartagena

An excellent experience knowing all the details of Cartagena, its history and its gastronomy. The tour was extensively explained by the guide, Nancy, whom I thank for all the time spent and extensive knowledge. It's a wonderful tour.

Sad but true

Be careful rip-off! Guide does not appear at the agreed location. Should be the cruise terminal. After 2 phone calls she is assured she has sent a car, which did not come I then sent my location via WhatsApp. 30 minutes later. If a message came back she would have been waiting for us for over an hour (!) and therefore cancel the appointment and wish us a nice day. Very unfair than that big the terminal is not there and to miss yourself there was almost impossible. I don't think she was there. So please be careful. Because holidays are precious
