What are people saying about Cartagena

Leslie_F, Aug 2026

Phenomenal Cultural Experience

I highly recommend this family-run tour! We learned so much about Palenque culture and history, and the tour was filled with unforgettable experiences. We had the opportunity to observe and participate in traditional cultural dancing, make native coconut and papaya candy, and learn about Benkos Biohó and the history of the first free African town in the Americas. We also visited a museum and gained a deeper understanding of how the community continues to preserve its traditions, including making medicine out of plants and preparing food by grinding corn and rice with a mallet. The highlight of the tour was enjoying a freshly cooked, authentic Colombian meal prepared by the tour guides sister at their grandmother’s home. We sat together and ate on grandma's porch and truly felt like part of the family. This was much more than a tour—it was an authentic and meaningful immersion into Palenque culture, history, traditions, and community. I highly recommend this tour, run by Victor and his family. Their warmth and hospitality made the experience truly unforgettable!

Good value for money as the tour included various stops and lunch. The meeting point coordinates were not exactly the address but I managed to find my way eventually. Give yourself plenty of time at arrival because it can be very busy at the port. Take cash to pay for the port tax. The guide Deli was friendly and accommodating. Also, on the boat ride back, be prepared to get wet as it is very fast!

One of the top experience in Columbia

Fantastic tour. You get a long trip in very varied landscape. Through smal towns, dust roads (remember sunglasses) and at the beach. 3 perfect stops. One with lunch where you can top up the experience with buying sea food from the local fishermen. All very good and you get to support the local society too. One of the top experience in Columbia

Top 3 Islands Tour Bora Bora, Pao Pao and Islabela With Lunch

Alejandra_O, Jul 2026

Island Hopping

We had a great time on the Three Islands tour! Check-in was smooth—we arrived at the recommended time, boarded around 8:45 AM, and had shaded seating while waiting. Bora Bora was our favorite stop. The water was calm and crystal clear, the coconut lemonade was delicious, and the music and dancing made the experience so much fun. The other islands were great for relaxing, lunch, and a quick swim. The ride back was much choppier, so I’d recommend taking motion sickness medication if you’re prone to seasickness. Overall, this tour was a perfect mix of beautiful beaches, relaxation, and adventure, and it was one of the highlights of our Cartagena trip.

Tour De Palenque, Road to Emancipation.

Tamara_S, Jul 2026

History & Heart

Romero was an outstanding tour guide—funny, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the history and culture of Palenque come alive and kept the group entertained throughout the day. Although it was extremely hot, this was one of the most educational and rewarding experiences of my trip. The lunch was hands down the best meal of my vacation. Absolutely delicious and tasted like it was cooked with love. It was authentic, homemade, and was a highlight of the entire experience. I also loved browsing the local vendors, who had beautiful souvenirs and plenty of unique items to choose from. The only minor downside was that the air conditioning in the van wasn't working very well because the air wasn't coming through the vents. Even so, it didn't take away from the overall experience. I would absolutely AND highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cartagena.

Great experience CTG to Bocagrande

Great communication and reasonable pricing made this a wonderful experience! We received a message from Samaria Tours the day before our flight letting us know when and how they would be in touch. On our travel day, Gloria sent a highly detailed message confirming our reservation, providing our transportation coordinator’s name, and instructions of how to find her at the airport. Our friendly coordinator Yulieth welcomed us and waited with us for our driver to arrive. We felt very well taken care of and had no stress about getting to our hotel.

Half-Day Tour to Totumo Mud Volcano from Cartagena

Matthew_R, Apr 2026

Always enjoy going to the volcano

It was a beautiful day, and the people were extremely nice, they provided a nice lunch, and we went to a private beach. the volcano is extremely fun but understand you're not in there all day you get to go in there for 15 to 20 minutes and it's not that large but that's never bothered me the times I've gone the things that are frustrating there and it has nothing to do with the tour guide is that when you get in as people that want to massage you and then when you go to the Lagoon to wash off the ladies there are extremely rude if you don't want this services but just ignore that and enjoy the time it's a unique experience

Cartagena, CO: Sunset Skyline Bay Tour on a Pirate Boat + Drinks

Avni_R, Mar 2026

Perfect experience!

This was an excellent family experience! The crew kept checking in on us to refill our (delicious) drinks, and were helpful with our stroller. Our son was picked for the pirate fight, and the costumes/fireworks made it the highlight of his whole trip. The same boat also offered a day trip to Tierra Bomba, which was a perfect pace for our young children as compared to other jam-packed itineraries. The owners and crew were thoughtful in shortening/extending timelines based on our interest in each activity, and shared stories to increase our understanding of the area and its history. They even offered antinausea medication when my husband felt seasick. We enjoyed the stories, care, and companionship from the crew members on board, and would highly recommend both the sunset cruise and the day trip for families. They were the highlights of our time in Cartagena.

We had an amazing time visiting Palenque as a day excursion from Cartagena. My boyfriend and I were looking for something unique to do where we can learn more about the culture, history, and people of Colombia. Ronal was an incredible tour guide who was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed meeting his family as well as other community members who showed us the culture and way of life of the people of Palenque. Thank you to Ronal and his family for this incredible opportunity!
