ABSOLUTE MUST DO!!! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A MUST DO!!! From the beginning, Cindy was very friendly and helpful throughout the process of deciding the best boat for my birthday celebration. Our host for the day, Laura was AMAZING!!!! 💕 She gave us interesting history facts and great translation as our Spanish was not so good. Everyone including our driver and boat crew was great! The absolute BEST time and most memorable experience of my trip! 🫶🏽

Board Day - This was a great boat and we had a fantastic day. Cindy from Cartagena Concierge set this up and picked us up at Las Islas. it was really done well with Jessica as guide w good English skills and a friendly captain and additional crew mate. The boat was hype - new and clean with plenty of speakers to play our music. We snorkeled and went to lunch. Our wakeboard broke unfortunately. We stopped at Cholon only briefly - it’s a bit dodgy so our women preferred less of that scene. But there’s plenty of beautiful restaurants, beaches and snorkeling. Overall a great day. Thanks Cindy who was super responsive on all questions and helped with plans.

Cartagena / Rosario Islands - I could not possibly write a review that would do Cartagena Concierge justice. They are incredibly hospitable, knowledgeable and helpful. My trip to Cartagena would not have been as amazing as it was had it not been for Cindy and the rest of the staff. I highly recommend that you use them.

Fun and relaxing beach getaway! - Jessica was great! Her English is very good, and she makes sure you're taken care of. We wanted to snorkel, so we took off for Rosario Island. The snorkeling is okay/not great (especially if you've been spoiled by Bonaire or Curacao), but there's a cool plane wreck that you can explore. The real fun was the beach on Baru - try the beach massages - muy bueno! Yes, our boat captain (Juan) did go a bit fast on the return trip, but we enjoyed it. All in all, a great trip, and a way to get your feet in some white sand, swim in the warm water, and relax! This is really the only way to get any Carribean-style beach relaxing in. The beaches at Cartagena and all the way down Bocagrande are more like the ocean - big waves, no visibility, and WAY too many people and trash around. If you want to GET AWAY - this is the way! (P.S. Your spouse will thank you for it!)

Amazing Experience - We booked this tour when planning on visiting Cartagena and it was the best decision. Our tour concierge Andres was so attentive, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. We would definetly book another tour with him! We got to dive into the ocean near a snorkeling site, the boat was in great condition, and had an amazing lunch (I recommend the cebiche) in front if the beach, were we spent the rest of the day. I highly recommend it!

Absolutely Outstanding! - Look, I don’t usually do reviews, but this trip was exceptional! If you do nothing else when in Cartagena, please take this tour. Cindy Buelvas, and her team, are what customer service is all about. They bend over backwards to provide a friendly, professional and safe experience. My fiancée and I had a delightful day cruising the beautiful Rosario islands. The boat was immaculate, the food was wonderful and Cindy and the crew were kind, gracious and incredibly attentive. I can’t say enough good things. Do this! Really!
