Excelente 👌 - Angela y Deriberto were great! They were very informative and accomodating to our needs. It was a rainy afternoon and the castle was closed due to rain. They reorganized the day to accommodate the tour and returned to the castle once the rain had passed. Thankfully we didn't miss out on anything. Would recommend!

Enjoying Cartagena - It was a very complete and interesting tour. A very good way to see parts of Cartagena that I would have missed otherwise. Our guide, Nancy, was super friendly, she told us many things about both the castle and the Popa monastery and helped us find places to better enjoy Cartagena.

Great tour with knowledgeable guide! - Our guide, Eddy, was fantastic. He's clearly a passionate person with loads of knowledge to share. He speaks good English so it was great for us to learn about Cartagena. The tour was awesome. Be sure to bring lots of water because Cartagena is HOT and walking around can get uncomfortable without water. We got to see good views of the city from Cerro de La Popa. He pointed out and described Bazurto market, and I'm really glad my friend and I decided not to go after his description of it. He also pointed out important landmarks and different architectural facts I would've have never known. Great tour!

Second occasion - My second time but my husband's first and I still learned a lot with Angelica. His mastery of the fort is impressive. We walked through all the enabled tunnels. The truth is that we had a great time. Deliberto's transportation service was very special, always attentive to having cold waters for us.
