Traveler reviews
An Affordable Fun and Informative Guide Into the Streets of Cartagena
Our tour guide, Carlos was very respectful, understanding, informative, accommodating, welcoming and friendly. He spoke both English and Spanish which made learning about the city’s cultural and historic context much easier. This tour was a nice way to get some more information about the city and become more comfortable with it! I would definitely recommend doing this one specifically especially because of its affordable price.
Great tour with Legacy
Recommend this tour, Legaxy our guide was great and made the experience fun and he has a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm which helped us get through the 2.5 hour tour in the hot Cartagena sun! He made sure to have our breaks in the shade, we also got to do a mini dance lesson and try some snacks. All in all a great introduction to the history of Cartagena and Getsemaní and to orient yourself for the rest of the trip in the area.
Not to be missed
Our guide was Robert and he was excellent. We were given a lot of details about the history of both Cartagena and Colombia. It is a great start to a visit to the city as it's a great way to get ones bearings.
