“If you are coming to Cartagena, Martin is your guide!
We went to places that other people were not allowed to go like La Popa. His English is perfect, his driver is polite and safe, his van is air conditioned. He knows all the history of the city and surrounds.
You will not find a better tourist guide in Cartagena, period.”

“We had a fabulous, personalized tour of the city (just the two of us), in air-conditioned comfort, and thoroughly enjoyed – and were impressed by – Martin’s knowledge of the history of Cartagena and Colombia. A great introduction to Cartagena!!
¡Muchas gracias!”

We read about Cartagena Tour Guides on TripAdvisor and started corresponding with Martin via email. He was very responsive and we were able to easily organize our tour. He provided interesting details of Cartagena and a thorough tour of the city. We enjoyed our visit to this…

Great tour. It’s hard to put into words how much we enjoyed the tour. Our group included 2 people over 90. The accommodations in the van were comfortable and clean. Excellent local knowledge was shared.

“We had a wonderful time with Martin who showed us all the sites and gave us a great education about Cartagena.
I liked his tour itinerary far better than his competitors! Couldn’t have asked for more!”
