The best tour with the best guide

We really enjoyed this tour thanks to the amazing tour guide Nico. He has been in this industry for 35 years and knows everything and everyone around the city. He is very professional and polite. We saw many places in 4 hours and learned a lot about the city, it’s history and culture. Thank you Nico for making us discover this beautiful city.

Great Overview of Cartegana

My husband and I enjoyed our private tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us an extensive tour of the city. However, I did feel pressure to buy emeralds. We visited 2 private stores and then the emerald museum, which of course, is trying to sell emeralds.

Delightful Day Tour

Kampuicalvin_l

, Dec 2021

The first tour I did with this operator was not entirely satisfactory because the tour guide was up to standard. The operator swiftly offered another tour to make it up after receiving my complaint. The second tour guide, Nico, did an excellent job. First and most important thing, he arrived earlier than scheduled (this is really unusual according to my experience in Columbia). He is professional with neat and clean outfit. He spoke clearly at moderate speed with detailed explanation. The walk was entirely enjoyable and I learned a lot about Cartagena from him. This is my second last day in Columbia and I am going back to my country with a happy ending note.

Our private tour guide Nico is a very professional guide and a genuine good human being who was very hospitable and caring throughout our trip. Hi has immense knowledge of the history of Cartagena and very patiently described it to us. It was a very hot day and he was constantly providing us cold water. The drive was very smooth and he did not rush with anything. We strongly recommend him for your private tours. You will not be disappointed!!

Nico you ROCK!!!

A private tour of Cartagena is definitely the way to go. Our tour guide, Nico, was AWESOMENESS. We requested an English speaking tour guide, and he was fantastic. The city is beautiful and the only way to really explore it is to do a private tour. We were only in the country for 4 days, and a private tour of the city was a must. So glad that we went with this company, and glad we had NICO!!!

Great introduction tour to Cartagena, Hernan knows his way around.

Kevin_P

, Aug 2021

I took this tour back in December, in the middle of Covid. Hernan was a great guide. He was on time, took me to some great parts of Cartagena, especially if you like photography. He knows the town well, which you can tell by people saying "hi" to him as his passes. The trip was complete and I felt I had good knowledge of the city afterwards, enough to explore more on my own. I thought as a first tour, an introduction, this tour is great. We saw most of the major attractions and even got a nice view of the city from the church on the hill. Hernan was really fun to spend an afternoon with, answered a lot of questions and even gave me a nice gift at the end. I'd recommend his tour to anyone that wants a good overview of the city.
