Incredible tour of Cartagena - Nico spent the day with us, showing us all around Cartagena, and we had the BEST day! My brother and I wanted to get to know the old part of Cartagena and were smitten with Nico from the moment he picked us up at our hotel. He was full of incredible historical information and also seemed to know half of the other tour guides/ tourism professionals we encountered throughout the day. He is clearly well-connected and works very hard to be up-to-date with his English translations. My brother and I had delicious arepas con huevos and were grateful to get to know Gethsemani and the surrounding areas in Cartagena. I cannot recommend Nico enough, he is worth twice the price we paid <3 I

Superb tours of Cartagena - The first thanks go to the company for accommodating my mistake (booked the tour start when I still was in the air). They rescheduled the time and adjusted the entire experience to my needs! Nick is an excellent, enthusiastic, knowledgeable guide with exceptionally amicable personality. I travel a lot and remember cities by my personal emotions. Nick managed to make Cartagena one of the places I would always remember!

Very Educational - Our tour guide, Alberto, was great. He was a wealth of information. He was charming and answered all of our questions about the wall city, the slave doors on the houses and the local artists in Getsamani. He also took us to some of the best local outdoor vendors to sample some local cuisine.

Great overview of the walled city and outside sites. - Jhon picked us up on time from our hotel with a driver and we toured the castle and convent first before our walking city tour. Jhon was very friendly and knowledgeable about all the sites and shared with us snacks along the way which were appreciated. The morning was organized very well and we didn’t feel rushed at all. This was a great introduction to the city of Cartagena.

Excellent tour and Nico was knowledgeable, friendly and fun! - We travelled with our friends and had a total of 4 adults and 3 kids (11, 10 and 7). This tour was a great mix of fun and history. Our guide, Nico, was very informative and accommodating for the kids, especially when it was getting really hot out. The arepas on this tour could not be beat either! If there's one tour to do when in Cartagena, it's this one! Thank you again, Nico!!

Great City to Walk - This was a beautiful city to walk around. Tour was great and very informative and personal. Only my wife and I since our son got sick and could not come. Felt it was very worthwhile. Only negative is that we were suppose to see the Monastery, but the guide did not know he was suppose to bring us there too.

Has potential with a better tour guide - The tour route was put together nicely, but our tour guide unfortunately didn’t read the room when it came to how much he was talking. It was way too much detail and repetition.
