We had a great time and... - We had a great time and learned a lot about the city and the sites we saw! Our tour guide was amazing and very friendly! I would definitely recommend it to anyone! Please note that if you're cruising, they do not pick up at the port and you need to get a Uber to the historic town where they can pick you up! Definitely recommend getting a Uber over a taxi, the taxi drivers will just try and rip you off!

Amazing Tour and Guide - This was the best tour I’ve been on. Our tour guide, Nico, was unbelievable. He was so knowledgeable and his inviting personality made us feel like he was a part of the family. Do yourself a favor. Take the tour and ask for Nico!

It was a great tour. I... - It was a great tour. I saw sights I didn't see during my while stay. You learn a lot of history. I will say if you're an English speaker you do get less narration than Spanish speakers. But that's understandable.

An afternoon in Cartagena - We were told late that we could not be picked up at our hotel which was previously set-up. So we had to arrange the additional cost of an Uber. Nevertheless, Isaac, our guide, found us at the place he requested and we had a nice afternoon. Isaac is very enthusiastic and is a good teacher and host.
