What are people saying about Cartagena

Orestes_R, Oct 2026

Great tour, excellent guide

Rebecca is truly excellent as a guide with the most information about the history of Cartagena de Indias from the indigenous peoples to current time. Walking through Getsemani and the walled city was truly great. Loved the photo ops of great architecture, history, peoples, mores and folklore. Loved it

The tour guides, Albert...

The tour guides, Albert and Juliette, were lovely and attentive to all the guests. The experience was great. Definitely take water with you as you’re only given one small bottle which is not enough for the whole day. Loved the snorkelling and wish we could have spent more time there.

Tour De Palenque, Road to Emancipation.

Natalia_A, Sept 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable and Authentic Experience in Palenque!

We had an incredible tour of San Basilio de Palenque with Romeo, who was a fantastic guide! He and the local community welcomed us with open arms, everyone was super friendly (amable) and made us feel completely safe and right at home throughout the entire visit. The tour is available in both English and Spanish, making it easy and engaging for everyone. A major highlight was the food, we had the most amazing fish stewed in coconut milk! Beyond the history and culture, it was also a great opportunity to connect with interesting people along the way. I highly encourage both national and international travelers to book this tour. It’s not only a rich cultural experience, but also a meaningful way to directly support the local community. Don't miss it when visiting Colombia!

VIP Island Tour!

Antonio and Edwin were fantastic guides! The VIP tour is definitely the way to go—it was so relaxing with no vendors bothering us along the way. We visited three different islands. While the second island (where we had lunch) wasn't quite as impressive as the others, the overall experience was excellent. A couple of minor things to keep in mind: beach chairs were limited, and I wish they had supplied basic beverages like water during the trip. Overall, I would still definitely recommend booking the VIP tour!

Best experience

We had an amazing experience with Craven Adventures! The ride was incredible, and the views were absolutely unforgettable. The Tierra Bomba Island views were breathtaking, and the entire tour was so much fun. Chris was wonderful—very knowledgeable, detailed, and made sure we understood everything throughout the guide. The entire crew was amazing! They were extremely helpful, attentive, and patient throughout the whole experience. We also loved the pit stop at the little beach. Having 30 minutes to relax, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and take in the vibe was perfect. The atmosphere was so fun, and we truly enjoyed ourselves from beginning to end. Overall, it was a great tour with an amazing crew, beautiful views, and an unforgettable experience. We would definitely recommend Craven Adventures to anyone visiting Cartagena! 🌴🌊☀️

Nice beaches, good food and drinks

This was a fun experience. Nice beaches but definitely make sure you get water shoes as walking into the water is pretty rough. The drinks and food was great. Our guide was a lot of fun and gave us plenty of time to spend at each stop. Definitely recommend this excursion for Cartagena.

Cartagena ATV Tour

JaMor_H, Sept 2026

Finally an ATV Tour Worth the Money. Book this one!

As someone who grew up riding ATV and other recreational vehicles, I’ve never been much of a fan of ATV tours. They’ve always been underwhelming and over managed. This experience was perfect! Very beautiful views of course, knowledgeable guides and staff, and just the right amount of guidance - adaptable for rider skill levels.

Private City Tour of Cartagena

Melissa_A, June 2026

Amazing Tour for a Port Day

Luis and Trefone were an amazing duo! Luis was extremely knowledgeable and Trefone easily navigated traffic. They were both kind and attentive and made sure we were able to see everything included in the tour itinerary even after our cruise ship was delayed getting into port. Scion Tours responded quickly and were understanding of the situation when I messaged them the morning of our tour to let them know that we would be late for pickup. I would highly recommend this tour for a port day!

Boat Rental in Cartagena de Indias

Joy_J, Jan 2026

Great but beware of lunch scam

Hiring a private boat is a must. Otherwise, you are in a horrible cattle call with the other operators. It was worth every penny. You will be greeted by someone that gets you to the boat and then you are out on the boat all day. You can customize where you want to go and how long to stay. It was safe. My only complaint is that the beach club where we ate lunch they asked us if we wanted to provide lunch for the boat crew of two people. We felt pressured to do this. Why wouldn’t the boat crew bring their own lunch? It’s one thing if they were sitting there with us, of course we would buy them lunch, but they were attending to the boat. It just seems like they should pack their own lunch. We felt obligated so we did send them the lunch and we were surprised it was more expensive than we were expecting. This just reduce the amount we gave them as a tip at the end. I think it’s a scam with the restaurant so maybe it should be made very clear multiple times while we are still on the boat not to fall for the scam at the beach club. It was included in the pre-departure information, but it was in the fine print and not highlighted. Seems like the boat operators would not allow this to happen. Or they should have given us a printed out piece of paper in English that clearly says we have our own lunch. Do not buy us a lunch but we appreciate your tips.
