Sights, sounds, history and key things about Cartagena - Carlos’ knowledge of Cartagena is vast! He was an excellent tour guide, every detail was covered and no question was left unanswered! Also, he was very amiable and we were very well looked after! The tour caters to small groups so it was all very personal, informative and enjoyable. This tour is an excellent introduction to Cartagena!

Excellent experience- will use them for other tours - Excellent tour. It was a last minute decision and we’re glad we found this company through Viator. The tour size was small (6 people) and manageable. It was done in the morning which meant we escaped the scorching heat of the day, the throngs of tourists and hordes of vendors. Carlos our guide was very knowledgeable. A friend who lives in Cartagena joined us for the tour and learnt many new things from Carlos. I will definitely use this company again.
