Excellent guide who knew... - Excellent guide who knew the city and pampered us around wonderfully. It was 90F w 85% humidity and we were wilting. We had finished about half of city tour when he called his boss who brought the car and we finished the city tour in comfort. Off to the castle which was impressive. Our guide told of how successful attacks forced even better defenses ending w thick walls and cannon capable of long ranges from the fort. It was fun to walk around and imagine the past.

The Walled City - The tour of the San Felipe castle was wonderful with breath taking views of Cartagena. The climb up the pathway to the castle is steep and you should be in good shape in order to climb the hill but once you are there you won't forget the sights. It was a very educational tour. We also enjoyed visiting the Popa Convent with it's beautiful altar and courtyard. The last stop taking a walk through the walled city and shopping was delightful. The beautiful balconies draped with pretty mix of flowers and greenery, churches, restaurants, shops, colorful buildings, canvas art all along the way, etc. This was the highlight of the tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and provided a lot of insight and history of the city. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent Tour of Cartagena! - My wife and I had a truly exceptional experience on the Cartagena walking tour. The tour included all of the major hot spots throughout the city: la Popa, San Felipe Castle, Getsemani, Centro, and San Diego. Nic was an excellent tour guide; he was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great host for us in the city. The enthusiasm and passion he had for showing us Cartagena really came through. He was attentive to our preferences, letting us linger when we found a site particularly interesting and stopping for a break when we needed a rest. We strongly recommend taking this tour early in your stay as it equipped us to navigate the city on subsequent days of our trip. Nic also gave us plenty of recommendations which helped us keep busy throughout our trip. We don’t think we would have had nearly as fun a time in Cartagena without taking this tour. We highly recommend it for anyone looking for a comprehensive tour of the city sites.

Great day in Cartagena! - Juan and Javier were amazing! It felt like we were with family the entire day. They were patient with us and allowed us to stop as many times as we wanted, Juan offered many pictures of the group and was extremely informative of the history and key info about our stops. I highly recommend.
