Must Do Cartegena

Great intro to the city!
Maressa_M

Great experience for a solo traveler or group.The guide had amazing energy. I also liked that the tour was not cancelled due to rain.Unfortunately,I took the tour towards the end of my trip due to previously scheduled excursions.Definitely take the tour early in your vacation to familiarize yourself with the area!I did feel as though the tour should have been adjusted to allow more time in the old city. The tour felt very rushed at the end due to it becoming dark.

My mom and I had a private tour. Host was very informative of the history. We visited amazing spots on some amazing streets. He was very patient while we took tons of pictures and if we had to sit down from being tired of walking. Nico is the name of our tour Guide. He also spoke very good English so it was easy to understand .
BEST TOUR COMPANY IN CARTAGENA
Philip_L
, May 2021
I have been on LOTS of TOURS is countries around the world and I can say without reservation, this tour IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN!! Everything was explained in detail and there was NEVER any rush during the tour or at the locations we stopped. Because of COVID, they did a private tour with just me and my wife for the same price as the group price, GREAT COMPANY!! If you are going to do a city tour in Cartagena, you want this to be the one for sure!! I wanted to buy an emerald ring for my wife and the driver took us to a store that was very knowledgeable, PROFESSIONAL, not a stall location rather, a professional jewelry store where I bought a ring for less than half of what it would cost in the USA, yes I had it appraised in the USA at a VERY high end jeweler when we returned and the jeweler could not believe I paid what I did!! Also, don't forget to Negotiate the prices as, if you really are interested in purchasing something, they will work with you, within reason, and you get the same guarantees and paperwork that you would in the country you.may be from. OVERALL, TOTALLY GREAT TOUR COMPANY AND DRIVER, Nicomede Vergara Melendez!! We would only use this company and you want driver Nicomedes if he is available, TEN STARS!!
Amazing Tour

Terrible - avoid
PHILIP_R
, Mar 2020
Avoid like the plague. The worst tour we have ever been on. Pick up was 40 mins late then there was further confusion because the guide had the wrong names even though we had reconfirmed the day before. There was no apology. There was an extra staff member. No idea who she was. She was miserable and thrust a bottle of water in our hands without speaking. Later we picked up another member of staff. No idea why. The main purpose of the tour was the walking tour of the beautiful squares. This never happened - I presume because it got too dark because it had started so late. At one stage the guide picked up his wife and son to take home. It was more like being on a shared taxi service. How to imagine how it could have been any worse.

Excellent Half day Tour

Our tour guide Richard was excellent. Richard was doing a mixed language tour and he was extremely organized managing each language group. Richard was very courteous and aware of the needs of People in the group and very respectful to everyone. Richard was quite well spoken, knowledgeable, and answered questions thoroughly. Great way to see sites that you might otherwise miss.
Great day trip!

Although they were 30+ mins late from the time they told me they would pick us up, and they do pick up a bus-load of 25-30 people before starting the tour - Richard did a great job. This is an English & Spanish tour (which we were not expecting) and I wish I had known that ahead of time, but Richard did a great job explaining everything about Cartagena. He told us the history, did a walking tour through the old town which gave you the lay of the city. Very impressed!

You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
