Fun and informative - Jhon was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and also so friendly and personable. We are from the US and his English was excellent. Our group included 2 young children, and despite the Cartagena heat, we all had a wonderful time. Thank you for the day, Jhon!

The best way to learn Cartagena 🇨🇴 - We spent the day with Nica on our tour of Cartagena and La Popa. It was such an incredibly thorough tour. Nica shared so much of the rich history of the walled city. We enjoyed the beautiful art of Getsemani. We lucked up and were even able to walk around inside Teatro Heredia. Nica went above and beyond and gave us restaurant and rooftop recommendations beyond the regular touristy stuff. He is our new friend in Colombia ❤️

A tour to learn from and enjoy - Excellent tour. Jhon met us at the hotel promptly. We toured the castle/fortress, monastery, and various downtown areas. He was well versed in historical, architectural, cultural even gastronomic facts. Visiting the location of the former slave market and portal through slaves passed through into the city as well as the St Pedro Claver church was very moving to us. I'm glad he pointed them out. He's a great ambassador for his city.

Book with John - This would be my absolute FAVORITE tour in Cartagena. Our tour guide, Jhon was very welcoming and knowledgeable. He genuinely had interest of the US and asked us questions. That let us know he cared about us as people! He had an answer for every question we had. His English was very good. He ended the tour with having lunch with my husband and I. There he helped us order food and let us pick his brain a little.

Cartagena Tour - We booked the city tour and Cesar was our driver Arthur was our guide. We were picked up at the Dreams Karibana Resort on time and started the tour in Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas. It was hot and humid but Arthur brought an umbrella for us to use, he gave us great history of Cartagena and took a lot of pictures for us. Then we went to the Walled City and we had so much fun touring around!
