“Martin is an excellent guide, very passionate and knowledgeable about Cartagena.
Starting with his fast response by mail, he made our experience in Cartagena just awesome. In just hours we could get to know all Cartagena, it’s history and highlights mixing walking, car and entering to the main spots of interests like Fuerte San Felipe, La Popa and the Museo del Oro.
And he stayed with us under his volunteer more time from what we have actually agreed previously not charging extra for that.
We highly recommend Martin to anyone coming to the city!”

“Viajamos con mi esposa y dos menores hijos. Usualmente lo hacemos como mochileros. Esta vez, con niños, decidimos tomar los servicios de un tour especializado. Había leído buenos comentarios sobre el servicio de Martín Rosales y decidí trabajar con él.
Nos organizó unos tours muy interesantes que fueron adaptándose a los requerimientos de dos niños pequeños. Mostró un gran conocimiento sobre los atractivos y dominio sobre diversos temas. Fue muy amable y cordial.
Logró que concretemos un excelente viaje familiar. Realmente le estamos muy agradecidos a él y a Julio, su ayudante.”

Martin is extremely knowledgeable, fully fluent in english and very professional. We were a group of 12 and used his services to have a private city tour. We enjoyed his assistance so much we used his services for a trip to the mud volcano as well. His staff, specifically Mildred was very responsive to any questions/concerns we had.
