Great informative tour.

Beverly_W, Mar 2025
The private tour with John Torres was fabulous. John was very knowledgeable of the history of Cartagena. Especially nice was the fact that we had a driver and then John as the guide. It made it easy to get from one location to another. Loved the street art... the different neighborhoods and the historical sites. Even got in some shopping along the way. John was also great in recommending a restaurant for afternoon snack and drinks and for dinner later that evening. We learned a lot about the people and history of Cartagena. We highly recommend this tour.

El guía Alex nos dio explicaciones muy claras y completas. Sin embargo, el mismo no tenía información sobre lo que el tour ofrecía en la plataforma. No nos proporcionaron agua ni el aperitivo que estaban incluidos.
