Great walking tour of Gethsemani!

Fantastic tour! Our guide Jhon was very knowledgeable and entertaining and we learned a lot about the history and culture of Cartagena. Murals/graffitti were really interesting, and it was great to learn the stories behind each one. Jhon kept to our pace (slow), stopped when we needed to rest, and was careful about our safety as we crossed streets and navigated uneven sidewalks. Very professional pick-up service and return to the ship. Highly recommended!

Getsemani

The tour was amazing, our guide Aejando provided an exceptional service, not only offering valuable information about the history of Colombia; its great characters and precise dates, but also deeply engaging with the experience of my family, a friendly and committed person who transmits his passion for his country and work to tourists, helping us connect and understand his culture I would recommend this tour to anyone, and I would repeat the experience without hesitation.

Excellent, relaxed tour through Getsamani art

This was an enjoyable, relaxed walk through the streets of Getsemani neighborhood to admire the street art. Our guide spoke excellent english and did a great job of pointing out specific paintings and explaining the history and context. Without him, we could have done the same walk but would not have known the significance of what we were seeing nor appreicaited it as much.

This tour is best suited for people who are interested in the history of Cartagena

The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the city however, of the two hour tour,one hour and 40 minutes was the history and 20 minutes was about the graffiti. This is more of a history tour than an artwork tour for those who might be interested.
