Top Cartagena Walking Tours - page 3

Fabio is an excellent guide and communicator. He knows the area well, explains the historical, cultural, and local customs during the walking tour of the city. You will learn about when and how the city was built, how it was defended, who occupied the area, it's cultural significance and splendor, the transition to present day use and inhabitants of the walled city. Fabio will message you on Whatsapp once you book your tour. You will need to walk through the oasis zoo area, take a right at its exit and meet on the sidewalk outside the entrance if you're from a cruise ship. He'll let you know where to meet. Just say no gracias to all the cabbies and tour solicitors. Move past any line bcz it's only people stopping to negotiate cab pricing at the port. Fabio's group will be small so you're holding up the group if you're late. However, our tour was extended due to late arrivals. The air-conditioned van was comfortable with Fabio sharing highlights and points of significance enroute to the old walled city before beginning the walking tour. Wear comfortable shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and breathable fabric clothes because it's hot and humid. Participants need to be able to easily navigate steps, narrow sidewalks, and uneven terrain. Fabio keeps an eye out for wanderers in his group and looks out for area hazards. We felt very safe wherever we were. He'll point out differences between locally made wares and China-made, share various restaurant cuisine and pricing, and finishes with a refreshing beverage. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and trip into the old city and highly recommend Fabio as your tour guide. You will not be disappointed.

Our tour guide was Alvaro and he was great! Super in depth with detail and history; Made sure we were safe, taken care of after the tour, fed, and hydrated. He gave us tips and made sure we weren’t in any trouble/danger. Also, he was super funny, kind, and interactive with the group. HANDS DOWN THE BEST TOUR IN CARTAGENA🙏🙏🙂‍↔️ No need for food before or after.

This was the perfect way to see Cartagena. We were picked up at the cruise terminal and guided around by Alvaro, who was an incredibly kind young man who was passionate about his city. He was sensitive to our needs and very knowledgeable about his city's history. We enjoyed our time and the beautiful tour of Cartagena.
