Walled city food tour
Our guide was David and he was friendly and knowledgable about the city and the food we tried. The tpur was well organized with each location being prepped for our arrival and David wanted to make sure everyone was enjoying the experience. Would recommend!

VIP tour didn’t disappoint.
We really had an amazing day with Edwin and the team. We left in the morning and spent some quality time at 3 beach clubs. And at the third we had lunch. Please note that we had the VIP tour booked. We went snorkelling also. The tour was well put together. Overall extremely enjoyable for a day out!

Panama exactly according to our wishes.
Oscar was a super guide. We were able to determine the course of the tour and our spots ourselves. We had, for example, no interest in shopping, so those spots were skipped. Instead, we had our own wishes and could go anywhere. Oscar waited patiently or came along. Just as one wanted. In between, there was a lot of information about the city and history. Thank you!

Must do in Cartagena!
Christopher and his staff were so helpful and kind. The tour was around Tierra bomba and he always asked if we were comfortable. We even stopped at a beach club for a quick break before completing the tour. It was a 10/10 experience. Great for beginners like us too!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
The experience was incredible! They are very helpful, attentive. In addition to the Welcome Drink, which includes lunch and a drink in the package I bought. I preferred to choose a single island rather than traveling through several islands. I could have enjoyed it much more, to rest. There's a DJ, we dance, it's really cool and totally worth it.
The person who assisted me was Ruan Rosé and he was always attentive to my needs, always asking if everything was okay, if I needed anything. It was really great. I loved it, I'll come back and recommend it.

Inexpensive Rosario Islands tour
It’s a super beautiful experience, I went there with my boyfriend and the guides are well organized, lunch is included and they even have a vegetarian option. The beaches are all private which makes the whole thing even more pleasant. Thanks Antonio and Abel!!

Amazing
Where to start? Our guide Roméo was engaging from the start and continued to be entertaining. He was very well informed and considerate. Palenque was as I imagined, we enjoyed local dancers, vendors, got to view beautiful murals and really gained history not taught in the States. I would love to go on another tour to learn even more.

Beach hopping and sippin
Gigi was a blast and knew how to get the party started. We highly recommend this tour for those who want to beach hop, sip some drinks, and enjoy a different side to Cartagena. We beached hopped to 3 different islands. Definitely a fun way to experience them. Do note that you will need to pay a little extra for the bars you visit. But if you’re okay with that, it’s a blast. Definitely fun for couples and groups.

Beautiful Islands and Great Value—Just Be Ready for a Bumpy Ride!
Overall, this was a really enjoyable and worthwhile experience. We visited three islands—Islabela, Pao Pao, and Bora Bora—and I thought the amount of time spent at each was just right for this type of tour. Each stop gave us enough time to relax on comfortable beach chairs under the umbrellas and enjoy the beautiful, clear, warm ocean. Lunch was also included, and I chose the chicken, which was very good.
My only criticism would be the boat ride. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the islands and another 45 minutes back, and the ride can be extremely rough. We sat toward the front, and the boat repeatedly slammed against the water because of the speed. If you have any back problems, I would definitely avoid sitting in the front, although others mentioned that the middle and back could still be pretty rough.
Despite the uncomfortable boat ride, I thought the overall experience was well worth the price. You get to visit three beautiful islands, enjoy the water, relax, and have lunch included. I would recommend it, just be prepared for a bumpy ride!

An Unforgettable ATV Adventure—Scenic, Safe, and So Much Fun!
My friend and I had an absolute blast on this ATV tour! I had ridden an ATV before, but this was his first time, and it was a great experience for both of us.
We started from their home base and rode along dirt roads toward a beautiful cliff overlooking the ocean. From there, we made our way down to another area where lunch was provided, then continued through private property and local neighborhoods near the beach. The highlight was getting to cruise at higher speeds along the beach—it was incredibly fun!
I also really appreciated how seriously the guides took safety. Our guide constantly made sure everyone stayed together, checked to see if anyone was having trouble, and kept a close eye on the group throughout the entire tour. I felt like we were in very good hands.
I definitely recommend this tour! It was exciting, scenic, well organized, and just the right length to easily fit between other activities we had planned. One of the most fun experiences of our trip!

Swimming with dolphins
A very nice trip, well-served food, enough time on the beach, we chose the aquarium instead of the diving... it's only an hour... little time, but they guide you to swim with the dolphins immediately and then visit the park... with that we managed to swim with the dolphins but the time was rushed to see the park. The really cool guides.

Amazing Jet Ski Experience
This was an amazing experience from start to finish. The host had great energy, was welcoming, and made the entire experience fun and enjoyable. The jet skis were a blast, and the host was very accommodating and flexible when weather and traffic caused delays. I really appreciated the communication and willingness to work with us. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area!

While the bougainvillea-clad balconies and candy-colored houses of Cartagena’s UNESCO-listed Old Town could keep you wandering for days, Cartagena tours explore more than just the historic center. Excursions range from cruising around the paradise Rosario Islands on a catamaran and relaxing at private beach clubs to covering yourself in mineral-enriched mud at the Totumo Mud Volcano. You can even get off the beaten path on an ATV or delve deeper into Cartagena’s unique Colombian-Caribbean culture during a cooking class or street food sampling session.
