Fantastic Free Tour with Liz in Cartagena! - I joined the free walking tour in Cartagena with Liz, and it was absolutely amazing! The tour lasted about 2.5 hours and was full of fascinating history, local insights, and cultural context — very complete and well-structured. Liz has incredible energy and enthusiasm, and she makes every story come alive. She also gave great recommendations for food, bars, and local spots, which my Colombian friends later confirmed were truly authentic! Liz was super knowledgeable and could answer every question with ease. I highly recommend taking this tour — it’s one of the best ways to discover Cartagena!

Enriching tour! - I did the guided tour of the historic center and Gethsemane. The experience was enriching and undoubtedly contributed greatly for me to know the history of the region and its peculiarities. Those only locals know! Our tour was guided by Indrid, who is an excellent professional, endowed with a lot of wisdom and spoke with ownership about historical and cultural themes of Cartagena. Super recommend!!
