Not so Good Tour - I have to say the Transportation was sub-par it wasn’t comfortable at all. The young lady that was the tour guide brought along a third person who was supposedly the translator but he barely knew any English, next we had to tell her we were hungry & needed to go to the restroom when a traditional breakfast is said to be included . I believe this is something that should already be planned out prior to us being picked up. It was extremely hot that day and we again had to ask if we could atleast stop the walking portion of the tour & get water. The Museum which was optional but in our case we didn’t even have the option because it was closed again that is something that she should’ve done her research & informed us when she picked us up. Then she added another tour guide in the Santa Marta portion of the trip because she didn’t really know that towns history too well. I will say she was very accommodating when it came to taking our pictures but we all felt that the whole experience was lacking. The Food at the beach was as good but the beach wasn’t all that great. We tried our best to work with what we had & enjoyed our day the best we could. For the future she needs to be better prepared for the tour & not bring extra people without telling the customers what’s going on. Maybe have a cooler with cold water especially if you know it’s going to be really hot on the day of the tour. $80.00 US was a bit much for the overall service we received.

Never again - nice tour guy and attentive,however, I don’t think is worth the money or our time. First all they do is take you to a photo spot and take a picture you really don’t get to see the city of Barranquilla. Second the food was horrible it tasted like dirt. So we had to go to a restaurant to eat. The beach was all dirty and crowded. We didn’t even go inside the beach we just waited to go back to Cartagena. On the way back I had to constantly be waking up the driver since he was falling asleep and driving very crazy. Not recommended at all.
