KAREN IS AMAZING - solo traveler highly recommend - I wanted to do a walking tour and after reading the reviews, for this tour I decided to do it. Karen was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour so enjoyable. Her and the young man that was with her, I forgot his name, were simply amazing. Although it was hot, we had a great group of people. I was a solo traveler but met some great people. I would recommend this tour to anyone ESPECIALLY if Karen is the guidei. I can't say enough great things about her. She was always smiling and so happy to make the experience for us so enjoyable.

A Full View Tour of Cartagena - Dani was our amazing tour guide and she fully immersed us with the rich history and culture in a three hour walking tour. As a local, Dani was able to share her personal experiences growing up and living in Cartagena with us and took us through the must-see places within The Walls and Getsemani. Felipe, her associate, was a huge help as well, in assisting us with finding an ATM to support the local markets and capturing our experience with photos. We ended the tour with champeta dance and Dani provided us with recommendations for food and local bars to help stimulate the local economy. For its value, we became adopted Cartageneros.

Great tour, tour guide, and experience - Great tour, tour guide, and experience! Girls trip! Our first time in Cartagena and decided to take this walking tour. Our guide, Amelio, was energetic and very knowledgeable of cartegena history. We visited at least 10 sites and captured several photos/videos along the way, we even saw 2 sloths in the park/plaza trees. Added bonus, Amelio was kind enough to share a few bar & restaurant recommendations at the conclusion of the tour. This tour w/Amelio is highly recommended.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE - My friends and I did the shared walking tour and to our surprise, it was well worth it. It was absolutely amazing. Legaxy was the Tour Guide (Elio was his assistant) - they did a phenomenonal job. We were well educated, all questions were answered, we learned a tremendous amount of Cartagenian history, saw a lot, interacted with locsls, danced a little, and had an amazing time. The experience was awesome and made you forget all about the HEAT. Legaxy is an absolute natural at his job and has the best personality for what he does. He was clear, concise, super knowledgeable, fun, funny, and extremely passionate about sharing the history of Cartagena. I highly recommend this tour with LEGAXY.
