“We had a great time with Cartagena Tour guides. Booked a private tour on Tripadvisor and they showed up on time in our hotel lobby.. two people, driver and guide and that made it very convenient as the driver would pick us up on the other side without having to walk back!
Route was planned well and customized to our needs. I would recommend Cartagena tour guides if you are looking for one in Cartagena!”

“Éramos un grupo de 6 con un bebé de 9 meses. Nos acomodaron el tour de acuerdo a lo que queríamos ver, y en el horario que podíamos. Empezamos a las 2:30 con Bocagrande y convento de la popa, terminamos en ciudad vieja en una de las plazas cerca de las 7:00. Nuestro guía fue muy amable, transmite amor por Cartagena y Colombia, conoce toda la historia y anécdotas de Cartagena, y su comunicación es excelente.
Recomendado para conocer de manera rápida y cómoda lo mejor de Cartagena.”

Te pasan a buscar por tu alojamiento y realizan el recorrido por los puntos definidos todo en coche con aire acondicionado, muy importante por el calor sofocante que hace en Cartagena. Incluye entrada a las excursiones pagas y no hay que hacer cola por las mismas. Pedí ir al Museo de la Esmeralda que no estaba incluida en el paseo, me llevaron y me esperaron. Martín super atento, responde todas las inquitudes. Super recomendable !

We did the city tour, ceviche tour ,and rum tasting tour. We had a great experience. Our guides were knowledgeable and accommodating. We had to make some date changes after booking and they were prompt and careful about the changes. Clementine was our guide for the ceviche tour and she took us to some very interesting places and has a very fun and engaging personality. The rum tour was really fun. Abraham the owner introduced us to some amazing drinks and technics. His passion really showed through and we felt very much at home.

The best tour we have ever taken and would not hesitate to use them again. Martin is awesome! From the time we booked until we arrived the emails to and from were helpful and you could tell they wanted to make your visit the best possible. We ended up with 11 folks in our group and they all said it was awesome. You could tell from the start that Martin loves his city and showing it off. I really doubt you could find better and I am not easy to impress. USE THIS COMPANY!!!
