Personalized and friendly tour tailored to your interests! - Carlos was an amazing tour guide who took me to a lot of spots to take some great pictures. He also explained the history and background of the sites and the art as we passed by.
He also pointed out specialty stores like coffee boutiques with special coffee from the region.
We even saw sloths and tiny monkeys in the Parque Centenario!
Carlos, thanks for all the pictures! I'm glad I'm able to show my family how much I love this place.

Amazing walking tour - Our tour guide was a nice young lady. The amount of history you learn was awesome. Make sure you have your walking shoes on it is by far the most walking we have done since we arrived in Cartagena.

Old city walk - We had a lovely time with a guide that found shade on a blistering hot day. The architecture was amazing. She was knowledgeable and helped us navigate the mazes of street vendors, often negotiating for better prices when we did want to purchase something. We wanted to see churches and we got into several. Thank you for a wonderful morning in Cartagena.

Great tour! Highly recommend! - This was a great tour and Sam was an amazing tour guide. He was full of interesting information, his English was perfect, and he was funny. I was traveling with 4 young adults (ages 20-22) and they were highly engaged the entire time. We saw so many beautiful parts of the old walled city. I highly recommend this tour!

Nice walking tour with the hop on hop off bus - Our walking tour was informative. Our guide was friendly and very helpful in sharing information about the historic area. We toured in the morning and it still got quite hot. Afternoon may have been unbearable.

A worthwhile learning experience - My guide Carlos (Charles) was friendly, knowledgeable, and considerate. As we rode between sites he told about events that occurred along the route, and Milna (?) would slow down or stop as was appropriate, they worked together very well. At the sites where we stopped he was never hurried, Vern informed, and always answered any questions. Even though this was not my first visit to Cartagena, he pointed out countless things I had not noticed before. A very relaxed tour. He even offered to help me plan another excursion!

Beautiful - This is an amazing city, colorful and full of history. Each part has a different story and they are all interesting. Our guide was Toti, our tour operator was Cartagena Travels, excellent service; everything was great.

A waste of time and money - The agenda was not followed. Despite what the agenda said the first stop was not the San Felipe de Barajas Castle. It was not. When we did go to the Castle we spent perhaps two minutes looking at it from the sidewalk, We did not get close to it or go inside it.
The next stop was then supposed to be the
"Cathedral of San Pedro Claver to learn about the philanthropic monk who aided more than 300,000 slaves." We didn't go there at all.
"The tour culminates with a visit to the Inquisition Museum, which tells the story of a bloody inquisition that occurred in the 17th century, and Museum d’Oro, dedicated to items made from the precious metal." Nope, we didn't go to either of those either,
We did however go to another "museum" where after a brief and uninteresting tour we were taken to the showroom where the real reason for the stop became apparent, a hard sales pitch for the "'museum's" wares.
I spend the last 1.5 hours of the tour just waiting for it to be over.
