Interesting Graffiti tour and enjoyed the history also. - We enjoyed the walk through Getsemani and hearing stories relating to the artists and what the meaning behind some of these works of art were. We enjoyed the coffee and snacks along the way. Our guide was personable and we enjoyed the tour.

Getsemani...a must see in Cartagena! - We had a wonderful tour through Getsemani with our guide John who was very knowledgeable about the history of Cartagena, the neighborhood Getsemani and the street artists who created the wonderful murals that decorate its walls. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Cocina de Pepina before the tour and then stuck around after to enjoy a drink and street food outdoors on one of the brightly decorated streets amidst the locals and tourists. Getsemani is a must see and John was an excellent guide!

Cartagena Gems - Jhon was an amazing guide. He and our driver Torres were on time, polite, and accomodating. They were nice enough to stop at a nearby beach so that I could snap a photo of one of the "Cartagena" signs. Jhon was fun and informative. We went to every spot designed for the tour. People along the tour were nice. The art is beautiful! Cartagena and the surrounding areas are amazing!!!

Getsemani Graffiti Tour was inspiring - If you have an appreciation for art and culture, then you definitely want to take this tour. They picked me up and dropped me off at my hotel in Bocagrande. It was my only private tour of the trip. Jhon Serrato was my tour guide. He was very informative about the neighborhood. He was open and honest about all the art which I like. He was also genuinely interested in getting to know me, which made me feel very comfortable. The Graffiti in Getsmani was terrific. As an NJ/NY person, I have a special appreciation for the art. Make sure you take this tour

Cartagena - What an amazing tour of Graffitis in the Getsemani Neighborhood, not sure what is the best hour to start the tour because in the morning you can walk easily on the streets but in the evening you can feel the vibes of the city. Anyway is a 5 stars tour.
