History of Cartagena!

Breanna_C, Sep 2023

I had the best experience learning about Cartagena. Angel was the best at showing and going into detail about the history of Cartagena and even Colombia as a whole. I was the only one on this tour and so it was more personable. My questions were answered and Angel is so so nice. If you are looking to learn about this country and Cartagena in depth take this tour! You wont be disappointed

Cartagena Highlights

Steve_J, Feb 2023

Authentic Colombian lunch and views from La Popa. Saw and heard the history of the Old Walled City. Saw working class neighborhoods and was treated to breakfast torta and juice. Duran Duran was was very knowledgeable about Cartagena and it’s history.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Good morning. Have a great day. Thanks for writing about your experience. 4 star is good enough to us. We love having real experience and sharing them with real people on real tours. Sincerely Angel Eduardo Durán

Duran Duran Tours is excellent!

Jason_S, Jan 2023

Duran Duran Tours is excellent! Mr. Duran is extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history as well as Colombian authors and literature. Mr. Duran has lived in Cartagena for over 30 years and is intimately familiar with the streets and neighborhoods. He provided invaluable tips and tricks for navigating the markets and vendors. He graciously drove us around to many important historical sites. We also took advantage of the cooking class that he and his wife offer at their home. It was so much fun and it was like hanging out with new friends in Cartagena! Highly recommended!!
