Top Cartagena Walking Tours

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

I had a great time exploring the Historical Centre and Getsemaní on this walking tour. My guide, Liz, was incredibly personable and her passion for her home city shined throughout the experience. It was interesting to hear the history of Cartagena from her perspective—she clearly loves what she does.  While I booked the shared tour, I’d actually recommend booking a private tour if you have the chance. The group format was great, but a private session would make it easier to hear every detail and dive deeper into questions. That said, Liz did an excellent job answering my "one-off" questions as we walked between sites!  If you want a deeper appreciation for Cartagena’s culture, I’d give this a 9/10 and definitely recommend this tour with Nexperience. Don’t forget to ask for Liz!

I found this experience online while searching for something to do on the last full day of my solo trip. I wanted an activity that I could enjoy with others, but low-key, and worth the time and money. This experience checked all those boxes. A lady met me at the street near to the location, so I wouldn’t get lost, and walked me upstairs to the rooftop. I was greeted by the artist and the homeowner, both welcoming. I was offered breakfast and a bottle of water, and conversation while we waited on the rest of the group. I’ve participated in Paint and Sip in the States, but this experience blew those out of the water. I’m a very amateur (almost nonexistent experience) painter, yet I felt comfortable and competent as the artist and translator patiently and gradually walked us through the paint experience. 10/10 highly recommend.

We had a great tour with William he was very interesting and kind he looked after us and gave us great information He was always aware if we needed to rest or go in the shade as it is very hot We would definitely recommend William and this tour He also gave us tips about the vendors which we really appreciate Book this tour

The pickup process was very well organized. They communicated both the day before and the day of the tour to confirm details and provide the arrival time. Once on the bus, expect up to about an hour of additional pickups around Cartagena before the group officially heads out. Our first stop was the bird aviary, which was truly a treat. The exhibits are beautiful, well maintained, and very professionally done. The full walkthrough takes about 2–2½ hours, which was perfectly timed for the bus to pick us up afterward and continue on to the beach. When we arrived at the beach, we went to Mambo for lunch. They offer great grilled food options along with drinks. The area also has restrooms, outdoor showers, and lockers to rent available for guests. While there are cabanas available to rent, they really aren’t necessary since Mambo provides plenty of shaded lounge space to relax and cool off from the sun. The water was mildly warm and very refreshing. Throughout the day, the tour guides were meticulous in answering questions and making sure everyone knew exactly where and when to meet for departure. If you’re looking for a great combination of nature and relaxing beach time, this experience is definitely worth it.

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

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.

This was a fun, relaxing boat ride around Cartagena. You get one drink and one snack included with your ticket (water is free). The boat ride is smooth, there is plenty of seating, and the crew is all friendly and helpful. They play music the entire journey, which becomes more festive as the sun sets. Many people danced on our boat ride, and many more sang along to the popular songs. The view is great, though be prepared to be in the sun for the first hour or so. Also, unlike many things in Colombia, this journey starts exactly on time, so make sure you arrive early enough to not be left behind!
