Anniversary Trip to Cartajena - Belkin was an excellent tour guide. We saw the Castillo, Popa, and the Walled City. Lunch was fabulous. She shared so much knowledge and her perspective of the area. We had great conversations with her and she made us feel comfortable and welcome. Great Tour!

Private Cartagena City Tour w/San Felipe Castle, Popa Convent and Coffee - This private tour is a must if you want to visit San Felipe Castle and the Popa convent at your leisure and privacy. This is a one on one (or with your group) private tour. Gilberto picked up punctually at hotel and drove me to places to visit. He is an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable of the history of Cartagena and its attractions. He was even able to take pictures of me as I was traveling solo. Highly recommend this tour when visiting Cartagena.

The driver was very nice. and

Waste of money with no refund. - Quite disappointed. Felipe guaranteed a great experience and it was not. It was raining (Sat.) the day of the tour, and we thought it might be best to postpone until Mon, but we would have had to pay extra. No offer of a partial refund or apology. Inri, our guide, tried to provide some sort of tour, but it ended up being a "tour" in a car driving around town in circles. Sad!
