Excellent tour to learn part of history - Excellent from start to finish, our guide "Luchy", warm, very dynamic and concerned historian.
Despite all the heat that day, the experience and getting closer to the history of the places visited and guided was wonderful!!!

Romantic Dinner on a Yacht in Cartagena de Indias Bay - Very good service, excellent food, only the tour at one point remains stopped for a long time in the port, it is not the best view, the Bocagrande bay could be a better location.

Disappointing - Your guide Jorge complaining about the heat throughout, not narrating in the van, not able to speak enough English so some very kind young couple translated for us. The van seat was broken. The tour started late and ended early in the old town instead of back where it originated so we are sending our apologies to Raphael who was picking us up at where we joined the tour. First very disappointing tour booked with Viator.
