Fantastico!! I had a great time on my tour. Very informative. Come on an empty stomach. Lots of food to eat. Take your camera and be prepared to take tons of pictures.
good experience, I really enjoyed the tour, the bus, the people and the explanation about the places that we visited were great!
Clean, air conditioned beautiful coach bus. Arrived on time for pick up in front of our hotel. They went out of their way to make sure we had an English speaking guide, Andreas, who was AWESOME! Couple of things that could be better: 1 Change the name of the tour since the Convento de la Popa is not able to be part of the tour. We didn't get that notification until AFTER it was booked. 2 Stopping at the base of the fort to let people shop at the market seemed like a waste of time. I didn't see anyone get back on the bus with anything but food. 3 Would have liked more time walking in the old city. So many things we wouldn't have known without Andy!
this tour combined the new city , the fortress, and the old city.Terrific . Would have liked a longer Old town tour.
Order of visits changed, so what was advertised as the last stop ended up preceding the Walled City, which I then had to miss. I feel I wasted my money seeing Las Bovedas before the Walled City, and was very disappointed.
Excellent. Knowledgeable tour guide who spoke English and they arranged a pick up from Hotel. only slight improvements would be it was a large group and not sure caught everything but otherwise little to fault. Popa in particular is a reasonable distance which doesnt seem practical to walk so more suitable for a tour. ou do get a great view from there.
Nice trip. Guide was good but sometimes too friendly.
I rarely buy into guided tours but couldn't pass on this one. Great value for the time spent, locations visited, and tour guide's expertise on Cartagena. Highly recommended!
