Amazing & Unique Tour!

Gerardo is a wonderful guide! He is clearly so proud of his city and knows so much about the area, past and present - including some amazing family history of his own. We were a little nervous to be biking around Cartagena but Gerardo lead us with confidence and it was a totally amazing and unique way to see the city!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

One of the most important parts of the tour is safety and then pleasure in knowing and learning through an experience.

Absolute fantastic tour and with our tour guide Jerardo as a fantastic storyteller, guide and local fixture - who knows everything and everyone and whose family has held many posts in the city we had a great time. Definitely to be recommended !

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much!!!

This man knows everything!

Darren_T, Apr 2023

A brilliant day out. Gerardo knows everything about everything, and has so many family connections with the city. Thoroughly recommended. Tip: be sure to speak up if your bike isn't quite right. They're a little old and worn, but can be adjusted or replaced if you ask before you set off.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

It is a pleasure to have shown you my city. I've taken a note on your recommendations!

Amazingly interesting bike tour!

I HIGHLY recommend this tour! Geraldo was truly my “Guardian Angel” on this fascinating bike tour. I felt safe the entire trip. The sites along with the plethora of information provided really painted a picture in my mind of Cartagena’s history. Thank you Geraldo for the amazing 1st introduction to the rich history of this beautiful land.

Gerardo was a pleasure. He did a small private tour for my wife and I. He was so passionate and informative with all things Cartagena. He went above and beyond to make sure our trip was special. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Response from Host, May 2022

It doesn't matter the quantity of people in the tour, it'll always be excellent service!!

A Great Time

The host of this tour was fantastic and he spoke very clear english and showed me things that I would have never found on my own. A great three hours learning and see much of Cartagena. This is something to add to you list for sure.
