This tour was amazing and fun! Our guide was awesome, high energy, and very accommodating! He even remembered my name and gave me a special birthday shout-out! The only downside was the bus was too crowded so it was difficult to stand up and dance or pour your drinks. They should probably decrease the maximum capacity on the bus. Even though it wasn’t advertised as a hop-on hop-off tour, we were able to get off for a minute to take pictures and go to the restroom if necessary. Make sure to take d tea cash for souvenirs along the way, and tip for your driver and party host! They were amazing!

Short Time

Wendy_M, Mar 2026

The activity included four stops. Three at known iconic stops, but every stop was extremely quick. If you do not go to the club the activity is about 1.5 hour.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hello Wendy, thank you for your review. We understand it would be nicer to party longer however, between showing you some iconic stops and partying we do our best so people can enjoy the most possible. We hope you visit again.

The party bus was fun....

Steph_A, Mar 2026

The party bus was fun. The issue was we missed the original one that we wanted to get on and ended up having to wait. Probably another hour for the next one, but everyone was very helpful and we did get to go to some good stops.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hello Steph, Thank you for you review! We encourage our customers to arrive on time since this is a shared experience and the bus must meet and pick up more people in different locations; for this reason if you arrive late you will be located in the next available bus. We will be happy to offer you a free drink the next time you visit the city and book with us. Cheers!

So much fun!!

Qullitene_E, Mar 2026

Omg it’s so much fun!! And they play really good music I enjoyed it this is a must do in Colombia, Cartagena.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your review! We wait for you for a next trip. Cheers!

Unexpected Events

Jennifer_R, Feb 2026

Unfortunately, we didn’t get on the bus. The tour guy ran late and in turn, the bus left us. The tour guy tried getting us on another bus but the driver and matron from the other bus was really nasty.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Hi Jennifer, we are so sad to received this review. We did everything possible to get you on the tour despite you arriving late to the meeting point, keep in mind it is a shared tour and there were 30 people waiting. We will take your review to improve our process. Thank you.

They let me reschedule...

Lanyse_R, Jan 2026

They let me reschedule with no problems. However they gave no history for the stops we went to for photos. The music and hype was great

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hello Lanyse, We are happy you enjoyed the Party Bus. However take into account this is not an historical tour, we do those during the dayamd we can assure you will get most of the history of the city and the Americas. We hope you visitng again and let us plan your entire trip, we will make sure you have a blast! Kind regards,

Fun tour

Diana_P, Sep 2025

Very fun. Bus gets hot so bring a fan. They stop at bathrooms and a few sites. Bring cash for all the vendors and bathrooms. The guide was fun. They do provide enough time to take picture at sites.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you! We are happy you had a great time! See you in the next trip! Cheers!

Best party bus. Will do again.

Tamara_N, Mar 2025

The party was great. It had a dance floor. The crew was helpful and kept us safe. Prefect music collection. I would do again if I come back.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

CHeers! We are happy you had a great time!

Party time

Aqua_W, Jan 2025

It was a great time. I really enjoyed knowing where everyone was from. The fact that they played music from every country represented on the tour was a nice touch.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

We are very happy to hear this. Hopefully we'll see you again.

It was an okay experience.

Alan_G, Dec 2024

The tour hosts are not very good at communicating and did not seem well organized. The music is very loud on the bus and the scenery where the bus goes is not the best areas but it was an experience which I would not recommend nor do again. The reason being, the bus was not what I wanted my family to do being it was not the traditional Chiba bus which is also a party on board but open air making it more comfortable during the drive. Obviously that was my wrong in no fully reading into it. The stops and the drive was nothing to brag about. You can easily do the same scenic stops on your own. The drive into the outside skirts of the centro of the walled city was nothing to really talk about being we saw a lot of dirty and poor areas of Cartagena. Now that we completed this tour, I am more aware of the different tours that are offered. I booked before arriving to Cartagena. However I learned for the next time in town I would book directly with a tour representative to get a better perspective of the tours details and creat a better communication with tour hosts

Very nice !

Abigael_C, Dec 2024

Very nice party bus , don't forget to bring your alchool ! You will have to climb up to get in the bus , as long as your aware , you will be fine.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for your review! See you next time!

Great Experience.

TaijaRae_G, Sep 2024

Had a great time on the party bus. It’s a great way to start your trip. Enjoyed the music, the tour guides were helpful. Would definitely book again

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for your review! See you next time!

Solo traveler

n5rhzqw98t, Aug 2024

From a solo traveler: The bus does pick up ans then they do 5 other stops in between. At the stops - there are other tour buses, and as such- there is quite a rush/crowd to take pictures in front of the signs. The bus returns to its pick up stop- and or you can continue with the guide to a nearby club. While on the bus, the guide stays upfront and plays the music and does a DJ voice over. He tries to maintain the vibe throughout. All this is in Spanish. Pros: Very friendly driver The assistant and guide were super friendly Cons: However, no one spoke English and only Spanish music. It was not quite as inclusive as I expected. Everyone was with a group or friend and minimum interaction outside. Money value: For a night drive on the city? Yeah it’s worth it. It’s a good ride.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hello! We are happy to ready your review and we will take it to improve our service!. Reach you directly next time for a courtesy.

Party Bus

Imani_P, Jul 2024

I went solo and was safe although I met other people. I had a great time and if anyone visits Cartagena the party bus is a must!!!!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thanks, we are happy you enjoyed the time!

DO NOT BOOK!!!!

Thyra_J, Apr 2024

I wish I could give this experience 0 or negative stars! Firstly they were two hours late picking me up; every time my receptionist called they said 5 or 10 minutes more because of traffic. However when I requested a refund they said they were there and I was not downstairs (which was a complete lie, because the receptionist, my security and myself waited for two hours and NO ONE came until I requested a refund). Against my better judgment I went on the bus and there was NO mixture of music, ONLY SPANISH. The host also only spoke Spanish after they advertised a bilingual host. I expected some Spanish (music and host) but not ALL, kids were playing and running up and down on the bus when it stopped and throwing bottles with water in it. This was the worst experience and I would not suggest you book this tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Hi Thyra, thanks for your review. We aplogize the bus wasn’t fully on time,; however as the video evidence shows you were picked up as per agreement with the guide to pick up up later. We hope we can do better for you next time. Best regards,

Party time

Precious_o, Mar 2024

Book now!

Cynthia_H, Mar 2024

Do not leave Colombia without getting on a Chiva Bus! We had so much fun, felt safe and comfortable, and made new friends. We highly recommend it!

Fun on Wheels!

Elaine_R, Feb 2024

The tour operator was nice and accommodating. We had a blast on the tour! They picked us up on time, played some good music and took us around town in style.

Best Experience in Categena

Mercy_l, Feb 2024

The experience was a fun one; we truly had an amazing night and enjoyed the music. They arrived on time to pick us up, and we were able to stop at different places and explore the city of Cartagena.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thanks for sharing this time with us! We will always be glad to have you in town.

Unreliable info on website.

Carol_G, Feb 2024

The Viator website indicated that the bus would pick up at our hotel. The bus company said they would NOT pick up there and we had to go into town. We all canceled because this did not work for us. We were unable to get our money refunded.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hello Carol, we are sad that you didn’t participate in our tour. We make very sure our experiences are very well described so our customers can make it to them and have a wonderful time. We did everything we could to have you onboard since your hotel was clearly out of the pick up area which is described as Bocagrande and Old city. By the point you wanted to cancel (2 hours prior the tour) we couldn’t process a refund due to cancellation policies in the platform. We even offer to pay for your transportation at a not cost next day or at 50% discount on the day of the tour in order to make it possible for you. We recommend for next time make sure you read the whole description on the tours so you don’t have any misunderstanding . Best regards,

Great time!

Deidra_L, Jan 2024

Amazing experience! Definitely book this experience. As a solo traveler I felt safe the entire time.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thanks Deidra!

Great party!. The EMC was great - thank you so much for offering us a great fun filled night. You can bring your drinks or wait for them to take you to a store to buy drinks. Great music . You bring your own vibe and everyone else brings theirs and you form the party.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

We are happy you enjoyed the night! Waiting for a next time!

Party Bus with LEgacy

Aivey_H, Dec 2023

We went to different places and we danced. The tour guide on the party bus really make an effort wuth the english. At the end, Legacy is the mc and he was very energetic. He got us in the club named Tattoo annd it was really fun. He made sure i got to my hotel safely. If go Cartegena, Columbia, please make sure you do the party bus. I really had a lot of fun

I enjoyed the party bus I...

Latasha_L, Sep 2023

I enjoyed the party bus I just wished the operator used more English considering I checked the box for an English tour guide. Although the majority of the customers were Spanish they spoke English as well .

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hello Latasha, thanks for your feedback. We will improve our service and make sure this won’t happen agin. Best,

It’s a blast!!!

TheresaIverson, Sep 2023

So much fun! Definitely do the party bus. I really wanted to do it twice during my stay. The bus team was pumped up and played a variety of music.

Fun fun and more fun

Lianneth_f, Aug 2023

The ride, the hostess, it was fun. I would suggest a better selection of music, it was a little dated; however, the energy was amazing. Cartagena is a beautiful place. I would admit that they aren’t great a customer service but it was good fun overall. Would definitely recommend it.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Woop Woop! We are very happy you had a good time onboard. We are ready for round 2nd. Cheers!

bus party

Marianne_L, Jul 2023

The excursion is lively with music and energy. Customers bring their own drinks if desired. The bus drives through the city in heavy traffic. The ride is rough because of the stop-and-go. The bus is open-air without air conditioning.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thanks for your review. We appreciate your feedback. Keep in mind 99% of the party busses in town works with no AC since it is the traditional way it works. The stop and go is part of the tour as described, however we know the traffic sometimes is annoying. See you in a next time. Cheers!

Great Time!

Amiris_C, Jul 2023

It's a great tour. There's a stop at the liquor store and food carts to get drinks and snacks. The music is Latin based, but they thrown in a little hip-hop. Overall, it was fun and I would do it again.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thanks for your feedback, we will use it to improve the service. Cheers!

Fun night out

Adriana_D, Jun 2023

Once all the pickups were done and music got going we had a great time. The disco at the end was awesome The pickup arrangement was a nightmare. It was a back and forth with very long delays in response

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thanks for your feedback. We will use it to improve the service.

Fun

DOMINIQUE_O, Jun 2023

The location’s we stopped by to take pictures were beautiful. Walled city Cartagena sign. my only issue is that you were haggle by the locals constantly. you had to buy drinks from the vendors which was fun as the variety was good. Shirt time but quite entertaining. Bear in mind there are different types of busses so depending on your hype man and the ppl on the bus. it can be hit or miss. my experience was a hit.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for participating! We are happy you enjoyed the experience , hopefully once there will be less street vendors. Cheers and Welcome to Colombia any time!
