Great tour with Harry - We had an amazing tour with Harry. He took us to all the main places and made sure we could do everything we wanted such as getting a coffee and souvenirs to take home. The tour far exceeded my expectations and was one of the best tours I’ve been on. Would definitely book again when I return to Columbia.

Outstanding Private Tour with Alvaro - Alvaro Romero was our private tour guide and he did an incredible job showing us the highlights of the old walled city, sharing facts, stories and major events in history with us! We maintained on our own pace for the tour and Alvaro was very patient with us! He allowed us enough time to explore everything we wanted to do and see. My husband and I highly recommend this tour and Alvaro was outstanding as well as his English! Thank you for sharing your beauty city with us!

Dimas was a wonderful... - Dimas was a wonderful tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the city and its history, and the tour was paced very well. It was extremely hot that day and he steered us towards a shopping center where we could cool off (we greatly appreciated it!) and was able to still give us some history and background on the neighborhood as well as some of more current events. He also took us through more local areas and gave us some safety tips, which were greatly appreciated. His love for this city really came through and my friend and I were very happy with his tour. Would absolutely recommend Dimas and the tour to anyone looking for a guide around the city that doesn’t eat up your entire day!

The Best Tour Guide - We had an amazing private walking tour of Getsemaní, Cartagena with Alvaro, and I cannot recommend him enough! From start to finish, he was professional, polite, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for the history and culture of Cartagena truly brought the experience to life. Not only did he guide us through the vibrant streets of Getsemaní, sharing fascinating stories and insights, but he also took great photos for us, gave us fantastic recommendations on where to eat, shop, and explore, and made sure we felt comfortable and engaged the entire time. Alvaro was courteous, respectful, and went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. If you're looking for a guide who knows the city inside out and makes you feel welcomed, Alvaro is the one! Thank you for an incredible experience!
