    My guide was very knowledgeable and kind. Perfect way to see Cartegena. Understanding the history and culture is very important and rewarding.

    Quite disappointed. Felipe guaranteed a great experience and it was not. It was raining (Sat.) the day of the tour, and we thought it might be best to postpone until Mon, but we would have had to pay extra. No offer of a partial refund or apology. Inri, our guide, tried to provide some sort of tour, but it ended up being a "tour" in a car driving around town in circles. Sad! .

    The guid was very nice and knowledgable, she was attentive to our requests and needs, however, we did not want to see some places because we booked another trip that would go over those places, but was unable to change and adjust the itinerary , due to restriction from the company . The driver was very nice. and

    This private tour is a must if you want to visit San Felipe Castle and the Popa convent at your leisure and privacy. This is a one on one (or with your group) private tour. Gilberto picked up punctually at hotel and drove me to places to visit. He is an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable of the history of Cartagena and its attractions. He was even able to take pictures of me as I was traveling solo. Highly recommend this tour when visiting Cartagena.
