What are people saying about Cartagena

A wonderful unique experience
The Totumo Mud Volcano was definitely one of the most unique experiences I had in Cartagena! I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but floating in that warm, thick volcanic mud was such a fun experience. My skin felt incredibly soft afterward, and it was definitely something I had never experienced before.
The experience is very rustic and authentic, so don’t expect a luxury spa. The stairs can be slippery, and there are locals who offer massages, photos, and help washing the mud off afterward. Bring cash for tips and wear shoes with good traction.
Overall, I’m glad I did it. It was fun, different, and definitely one of those travel experiences that gives you a story to tell! I would absolutely recommend the Totumo Mud Volcano if you’re visiting Cartagena. Book with this tour company!

The trip did what it said it’ll do.
Though it was meant to be an English speaking tour, but except me all were Spanish speaking tourists. But, I must give full credit to the guide Duran Duran, who never let me feel that I didn’t belong to the group. He was explaining everything to me in English.
Bus was comfortable with AC.

Worth the experience!
Our guide was Caesar and he was amazing and so genuine!! Very attention to detail. Was very thorough with the explanation and guided us to make sure we weren’t being scammed. The driver was safe and the van we went in was very spacious. Now to the good stuff. Make sure you are swim ready. Don’t bring much just phone and loose cash. You can leave your stuff in the van it’s safe. Take comfort shoes because the stairs are steep. You can’t wear them in the mud. The mud is dense so you stay in your spot and have to be moved around. Don’t accept help from anyone as you’ll be charged. To get in, for massages, pictures , everything. You cannot take anything in the mud but your sun glasses. Once out of the mud you will walk to a lagoon where o and rinse off. There are some ladies there that can rinse you off… at a cost. That’s the only thing I do recommend you pay because the mud dries quick and it’s EVERYWHERE!! We were there a decent amount of time. Everyone was enjoying themselves. We were sunburned from the day before and it was soo refreshing. Ohh do the morning one as it’s less packed and you can on with your day. All in all really great experience.

Must do!
Great experience. Our Driver and guide was amazing. We got stuck in traffic i. The hot sun and they provided water and umbrellas which made it bearable. Great explanation of everything and the guide took her time taking our pictures with the beautiful old school car.

Amazing Cartagena Guide
Our guide, Harry, was wonderful. We appreciated his thoughtfulness, great sense of humor, and extensive knowledge of Cartagena and its history / culture. Our driver, Hendrick, was also great. We’d recommend them both to anyone who does this tour in the future!

First of all I want to...
First of all I want to commend Andres for his pleasant and knowledgeable interactions with us. He guided us with care and we learned a lot about Cartagena and the food that makes it unique.
We connected on a friendly level and the places we visited were always just right.
We loved the whole experience!

An Amazing day relaxing on the water
This was an amazing experience in a relaxed very comfortable Catamaran. Clean settings and bathroom. Spots they stop for are away from the crowds. Food served on the boat is top notch freshly prepared. Staff is very attentive and helpful. Great for people who want to spend a relaxing day in the water.

Excellent Guide, Great Tour
Freddy was a spectacular Guide!! Since it wound up being just our family, he was so thoughtful to pick us up at the hotel. He offered, we didn't have to ask! He was very knowledgeable, kind and pleasant. He took us to all the places on the tour and made sure we saw anything additional we wanted to see. The weather was terrible all day and he had an umbrella for my daughter and I. He also took fabulous pictures of us at all the stops! We were very happy with the tour and especially his service!! Highly recommend.

Excellent way to see the highlights!
Cartagena is a lot larger than you think it is and a number of the things you want to see are pretty spread out. This tour gave us the highlights of pretty much everything and got us back to the ship on time even though we had a really tight schedule because of the length of time our ship was in port. Benny was the lead guide but the driver and our other guy were all fantastic. Great to have air conditioning too! Cartagena is hot. So, even though those open cars look like fun, we saw people sweating in those. Take this door instead. You will enjoy it!

Great way to see the walled city
This was a great way to see the walled city. Our guide Jose and his assistant Herman were great. Jose is very knowledgeable and enjoyed telling us the history of Cartagena. Simply walking around on your own does not give you any understanding of when things were built or why. Having Jose as a guide provided us with so much of Cartagena’s rich history. They did a great job of maneuvering the streets and keeping us safe.

Good insider view of the Bazurto Market
This tour provides a good insider's look at everyday life for those living in Cartagena. While we walked through the market with our guide, he described the various sections, took us to many vendors to have them demonstrate or show us their trade, and provided us with historical background and insights of the market. Our guide's english was good and he did a great job of entertaining our questions and focusing our tour on our interests.
Similar to some other busy markets we have visited, our senses were filled with sights, sounds, and smells.

We had a great time and...
We had a great time and learned a lot about the city and the sites we saw! Our tour guide was amazing and very friendly! I would definitely recommend it to anyone! Please note that if you're cruising, they do not pick up at the port and you need to get a Uber to the historic town where they can pick you up! Definitely recommend getting a Uber over a taxi, the taxi drivers will just try and rip you off!
