Great tour of historical Cartagena
What a great tour this was as Nancy, our guide, was wonderful. She was so engaging and full of information and she had a great sense of humor. We were a small group so it felt like a private tour!!! It was a hot day but our bus was air conditioned so comfortable. Traffic here is ‘loco’ but the driver was an expert so it all worked out!!! Loved the views from the convent and the Castillo and all the history behind these sights!! Very worthwhile tour and I highly recommend it!!!!

Amazing walking city tour Cartagena
I booked a walking city tour and I am so glad I did. Our tour guide Legaxy was amazing. His English is perfect and made it super interesting and fun. My almost 80 yr old mother was part of the group and she was the only one who didn't know English, and Legaxy translated everything for her and was so kind and sweet towards her, highly appreciated. He gave us all kinds of recommendations for our trip. He is 5 🌟

A must do!
A must do if you’re in Cartagena. My tour guide Eddie was amazing. Provided me with a great overview of Cartagena and Colombia. Answered all my questions and provided some fun facts about the town and area. He was also very willing to take photos along the way.

Cerro de la Popa and Castillo San Felipe Tour
The most memorable parts of my experience was the history in general especially how Cartagena walled itself for protection. The tour guide Eddie was enthusiastic and knowledgeable he was also able to translate for some tourists that needed it.

When to visit

Convento de la Popa is a must-do for history buffs, and one of the best viewpoints from which to see Cartagena.
Tourist crimes have been reported in the neighborhood at the bottom of the hill. If you’re visiting independently, ask your taxi driver to wait for you outside the convent.
The convent is active and inhabited by nuns. Remain quiet, and wear modest clothing.
Stairs make wheelchair and stroller access challenging.
There is a small admission fee to enter the convent.
