A bit disappointing. Although we requested an English speaking tour, there were 4 English speakers and the rest were Spanish speakers. The tour guide tried to do both, but the English portions were much more abridged. There wasn't much walking, just touring the city in a mini-bus.

The Cartagena City Sightseeing and Walking Tour was the best tour I could ever take in this beautiful city, a perfect combo between history and sightseeing. My guide, Julito, was not only very knowledgeable but also passionate, funny and so willing to teach me whatever he could about his city and the Colombian history. All sights and monuments of Cartagena are covered in this walking tour and the loveliness and the welcoming people just made it magical. Thank you Julito.

The tour guide never showed up so we did not get our tour. We called many times, and the only offer was to join a large group tour. While we were very disappointed that we did not get our tour, we found another company that gave us a great food walking tour of Cartagena. We had two bad experiences with Viator in Cartagena -- both time, they never showed up and never called!!!!

I was alone on this tour made for undivided attention and on my pace. The tour guide was very well versed in all things cartagena, English was good and very friendly. I saw more then expected and just fell in love with this city! I felt very safe.

The telephone number provided for the local contact was a non-working number. Therefore, I was unable to reach anyone to meet up for the tour.
