“Martin was a great tour guide. We booked him fairly last minute. He arrived on time, very knowledgeable and knew everyone in the city. He opted for the 4.5 hours tour.
The tour came with free water bottles (I only wish we got them before the very end. I’m sure we could have asked for them earlier. We also brought our own first thing in the morning.)”

A few months ago i decide to go on a tour with some friends that were coming from USA to Cartagena, and we decided to go with Martín, i am from Cartagena but decided to go ahead and book with a professional… Best choice ever! we had the greatest time touring the city, and as a local i hadn’t have appreciate the city the way i did in that chance, i will hire Martin again without a doubt. My friends simply love the way he explain everything and the passion he shows for his city.

“Mi esposo y yo estuvimos en Cartagena de vacaciones. Tuvimos la oportunidad de hacer el recorrido por la ciudad con Martín. El servicio fue excelente… Toda la información suministrada fue clara y especifica. Mi esposo quedo encantado con la ciudad, pero más aún con toda la calidad y la autenticidad que Martín presta en sus servicios de guía de turismo.
Les recomiendo 100% sus servicios. Les aseguro que quedaran satisfechos con todo lo que pueden aprender y conocer de la ciudad y sus alrededores con tan excelente guía.”

“Mi esposo y yo estuvimos en Cartagena hace un par de semanas. Quisimos recorrer la ciudad y conocer su historia. Una Amiga nos recomendó el servicio de guía de Martín Rosales, y fue la mejor opción. Martín es un guía profesional, presta servicios de calidad y tiene un amplio conocimiento de la historia de la Fantástica. Fue espectacular hacer este tour con él. Mi esposo quedo muy fascinado con la magia de la ciudad y muy agradecido con Martín por su tiempo y dedicación.
Los precios son muy asequibles. Les recomiendo ampliamente los servicios de turismo que presta este gran guía. Les aseguro que tendrán una excelente y magnifica experiencia.
100% garantizado!!!”

Martin was an excellent tour guide providing a private walking tour to my wife, our 4-year old daughter, and me. He picked us up at our apartment in Bocagrande and started the tour with a driving tour of Castillo Grande before driving into San Diego and walking through the Old Town and Getsemani. It was a very interesting tour and Martin pointed out great restaurants and stores to shop at later. Martin speaks excellent English and was very informative and helpful.
