Traveler reviews
Super Guide
The guide was very knowledgeable and I'm a big nerd for history so it was probably the most exciting part of my vacation, I definitely recommend it.
Our favorite historical walking tour of our trip
This was a great tour. Carlos was extremely knowledgable about the history of the area and of Colombia as a whole. His English was great, and he was very kind. He was great at responding to questions and leading us through the city. The length of the visit was perfect, giving us enough time to explore, but not too long in the sun! We spent our time on the tour taking pictures and listening to Carlos share historical stories / facts with us. I would definitely recommend this tour and Carlos as a guide. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, a fna, and walking shoes. The Cartagena sun is fierce.
This was a very good...

The best way to discover Getsemani and El Castillo de San Felipe
Carlos was a fantastic tour guide, very professional and engaging. Perfect level of information and fun for our family! We truly enjoyed the walking tour of Getsemani, the castle visit and the overall experience, plus the sunset from the Castillo was the best!
