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!

Stephany_M, Jun 2026

Excellent tour

Rebecca was my guide; she was very attentive to my needs when I told her I wasn’t feeling too well so we walked at a relatively good pace and she kept asking me if I needed to sit down or water etc. she explained all the history of Cartagena in great detail and answered all my questions. She also gave me recommendations for restaurant and anything else she thought I could enjoy. Definitely worth booking this experience.

Brunch And Paint in a secret rooftop

Hannah_S, Jun 2026

Fun experience, great instructor, good painting

I have done many of these over the years and in general I enjoy them but it is about the experience not the finished product. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful and actually provided information on perspective and shading which I appreciated to improve the painting. Both he and our translator were friendly, helpful and attentive. Enjoyed the other participants as well as mimosas. Highly recommend. Very happy I did this and would book another experience with them!

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

Sunset Cruise in Cartagena

Michael_S, Apr 2026

Relaxing Time

A truly relaxing 1.5 to 2 hour trip to watch the sunset. There is one-drink (beer/wine/lemonade) included per person, but you can buy additional drinks (credit only). Simply stated: this is a relaxing cruise down the harbor to witness sunset. A nice photographer was on our trip. She takes wonderful pictures. Don't hesitate, spend a nice relaxing ride with your partner, parents, or kids.

Best tour guide

Raul went above and beyond to make sure we were safely picked up and returned. He is so very knowledgeable about Colombian history and it shows. He personally took us around many shops to get linen and specific souvenirs, and made sure we got to the desired restaurant to eat a great meal at Mare. Will definitely book with him again

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.

Private Arrival or Departure Transfer: Rafael Nuñez Airport

Krissy_M, Feb 2026

Professional, Efficient, and Organized!

Everything was perfect. Both of our drivers were professional, punctual, kind, and safe. I really like that the drivers send text messages (via WhatsApp) to coordinate pick-up times and other logistics with us. We didn’t get the Happy Birthday sign we requested, and that was confirmed by the company, but overall, it was a great experience. Beware of people offering to assist you with your bags. Inside the airport, someone was holding a sign with my name and a cart, but he did not look like the driver's picture. Our party of four kindly declined. Outside the airport, others surrounded us to offer assistance. Unfortunately, someone in my party found the pressure overstimulating and let one of the men assist. Then he and his partner refused to close the door without a tip for their family. This was no fault of the company (the driver and I told everyone to keep their bags and accept no assistance). We probably could have waited for the people to give up and walk away, but I just gave a small tip so that we could be on our way. The return trip to the airport was much easier as far as the people offering bag assistance. I used this company in December 2024 and February 2026 and would definitely use this service again.
