Cartagena City Tour At Its Best Despite Heavy Rainfall - Outstanding tour and great guide (Nicanor). Despite the heavy rains they did everything possible to still get some great impressions and wonderful photos. 5-stars well deserved.

Perfect way to start Cartagena vacation - Jhon was a great guide and it was so nice to have a private tour. We learned a ton of history and got a good understanding of the walled city neighborhoods. Perfect thing to do early in our trip as we got a sampling of the neighborhoods and kmee what we wanted to explore more of.

My wife and I have traveled all over to the world and have done plenty of tours, but this, by far, was our favorite! Cartagena is just beautiful, and this tour just made it even more special! We will recommend this tour to our friends and request Nica if possible! Muchas gracias!

Memorable Cartagena - My husband and I will always remember the beauty of historic Cartagena, its colorful streets, delicious food, joyous music, and kind residents. This private tour was special on its own, but even more so, on account of our wonderful, Cartagena-born tour guide, Adalberto. He made this a unique, up-close-and-personal experience for us, not just because of all we learned from him about each site we visited (El Castillo, Getsemaní, etc.), but also because of all we gained from experiencing Cartagena through his kind, native soul.

Don't miss the full Cartagena de Indias tour - With my family we visited the city of Cartagena in the company of a guide from Gram Colombia Tours. It was an unforgettable day. We visit the main attractions: S Felipe, the Popa, the San Diego neighborhood, the center with its beauties, Getsemanì, the walls. Super advised! Thank you Gran Colombia tours for organizing our wonderful trip.

Friendly & Engaging Tour Guide, But Overall Experience Seemed Rushed - I recently took a tour in Cartagena with Arthur Anaya, visiting Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, the Convent of Santa Cruz de la Popa, and walking through Getsemani, El Centro, and San Diego in the walled city. Arthur was a friendly and engaging guide, making the tour of Castillo San Felipe especially fun, and his insights during the visit to the Convent were informative and enjoyable. However, once we entered the walled city, the tour felt rushed. What was supposed to be a 5- to 6-hour tour ended up lasting around 4 hours. Additionally, key landmarks like Las Bovedas, the Sanctuary of Saint Peter Claver, and an exploration of Cartagena’s art deco architecture, which were included in the sample itinerary, were not covered. A surprise stop at an emerald store left us questioning whether it impacted the pace. My father-in-law made a significant purchase there, buying a gold chain valued at $2,000 USD, but maybe it was deemed we didn't spend enough to get the full tour experience. While we appreciated much of the experience, the rushed conclusion and missed sights were a major disappointment.
