Jumala, Jul 2026

Food tour extravaganza

This was a fun experience. We were able to explore Columbian flavors in an authentic and culturally appropriate way. Our tour guides Robert and Filipé, were knowledgeable and familiar with the food and flavors. Roberts was able to speak in many languages helping us close the language barrier. The food was tasty, the company was fun, Colombia is colorful.

Melissa_A, Jul 2026

Warm and welcoming tour!

Legaxy was our tour guide and he was polite, funny, warm and welcoming. The tour was the perfect amount of time given the heat and its setup to allow the participants to be in the shade. The meeting point was easy to find and organized as soon as it started. Don’t hesitate and book the tour.

Danika_L, Jul 2026

Excellent Service

Alejandro was very communicative beforehand, sent information and a photo of his car a day ahead. Pickup was a breeze, we felt safe and he was very friendly. He happily answered all my questions, as it was our first time visiting Colombia. I could tell he’s a really nice person and a great driver. Excellent service!

I had an amazing time

I absolutely loved this experience! Charlie and Jorge were so friendly, welcoming, and patient as we learned the dances. My favorite dance was champeta! It was so fun and lively. Highly recommend this experience especially if you love dancing and learning new things!

The best private Transfer from/to Cartagena airport. ONE WAY

Enchanette_D, Jul 2026

Great ride!

Our arrival and pickup at the airport was very smooth. Our driver, Edwin, contacted me via WhatsApp the day before to confirm my booking and provided me with details of the pickup. Edwin made sure I knew exactly how to navigate the airport and led me directly to the pickup spot where he was waiting. On the ride to my accommodations, Edwin gave a little tour of the city and offered recommendations for activities. I highly recommend this experience!

I'm no artist but was majorly impressed

There were 6 of us in total and it was a fun event. The teacher takes you through each stage so if you can't draw a straight line like me you won't feel intimidated. I loved it and came away with a picture that will take pride of place on my wall at home as a memory of a wonderful trip to Caragena. Amazing drink as well.

Whistle stop walking tour of Cartagena

Had a great whistle stop walking tour with Legaxy. It was exactly what I wanted. I think Legaxy was a bit worried we were doing it too fast, but it’s exactly how I liked to do things, so worked for me. Great city to tour and get your bearings and Legaxy will give you a great snapshot of things to see and recommendations of places to visit also.

Andres was an absolute gem! Very knowledgeable and knew how to answer every question. We tried many different snacks and drinks - arepas, fried plantain, various sweets and breads - and left quite full. Our guide was constantly checking in to make sure we weren’t too full or if we wanted anything more. Thanks for a memorable experience!

Half-Day Tour to Totumo Mud Volcano from Cartagena

Angeleah_M, Mar 2026

Perfect Unique Experience

This was the perfect bizarre/unique experience that my boyfriend and I were looking for. Our guide, Milton gave us good tips and explained how the process would work beforehand. After we got off the bus, we climbed a ladder and waited in a small line to get into the mud volcano. The volcano fits about 15 people. When you’re in the volcano, it feels like you are floating. At the top of the volcano, there are some kind locals who will take pics of you while you are in the volcano, give massages, and help you in and out. Then, you can get into a nearby lake and fully rinse off. Some other locals down there will help. After getting rinsed off, you can enjoy your arepa and drink before heading back. We had such a fun experience! Some Caveats: I probably would not take children under 14 because it may seem a bit overwhelming having random strangers touch them. Bring cash to tip the locals and to buy other food or drinks. This is how they make their living so be respectful. The steps getting up to the volcano are slippery and wide so be careful.

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.
