Our guide, Martin, spoke english very well and gave us an excellent private tour of Cartagena for our family. I would certainly book with them again and I had CTG arrange for a van for us after the tour. Again, they were competent, prompt and communicative.

This review is long due. We booked the tour with Martin via email last July and he kept in touch until we got there this past January. He picked us up on time and we were very happy to see a nice, air conditioned van waiting for us. Martin is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all the tough questions my father in law and husband (both professors) had for him. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the tour and the time we spent with Martin.

Hicimos el tour de mañana, Martín nos pasó a buscar por el hotel en la hora acordada. Fue un muy buen tour, mucha información interesante, no tuvimos que hacer fila en los lugares, y fue muy cómodo ir alternando los recorridos a pie con los que hicimos en el auto con aire acondicionado. Vale muchísimo la pena, lo recomendamos ampliamente al principio del viaje. Muchas gracias por todo!
