Buena, interesante, pero no excelente. Ya había hecho este tour con otras personas y tuvo mucha más historia y cultura local (nos dieron agua de panela por ejemplo). Acá la charla se sintió como más relleno. Me faltó la historia de Catalina, tenia muchas ganas de volver a escucharla y no ocurrió. Translate this opinion into English.

Good, interesting, but not excellent. I'd already done this tour with other people, and it had much more history and local culture (they gave us panela water, for example). This time, the talk felt more like filler. I missed hearing Catalina's story; I was really looking forward to hearing it again, but it didn't happen. Opinion translated. Show original.

We enjoyed a lot this tour, our guide Alejandro was super funny and told us a lot of interesting things apart from explaining the history. Just notice a couple of things, it's super hard to find Colombians who speak a good English, and the tour it says it's free but in fact is not as it's suggested to pay 50 000 pesos each for it. But it's worth it!

La actividad estuvo ok pero al final la guía nos pidió un monto por persona más alto del que habíamos dado, si es así, no debería llamarse free walking tour, y deberían ponerle un precio fijo, se supone que uno da la propina voluntariamente, esto nos dejó un poco desconcertadas The activity was fine, but at the end the guide asked for an amount per person larger than what we had already given, she said it was the minimum fare, if that’s case this should not be named free tour

Pedro fue magnífico. Nos relató la historia de Cartagena superbién. Increíble. Muy recomendado. No obstante, habíamos reservado otra actividad: Cartagena de Indias y cuando llegamos hicimos el freetour de centro histórico y Getsemaní. No nos importó porque fue realmente genial, pero habríamos agradecido una notificación. Translate this opinion into English.

Pedro was magnificent. He told us the history of Cartagena superbly. Incredible. Highly recommended. However, we had booked another activity: Cartagena de Indias, and when we arrived we did the free tour of the historic center and Getsemaní. We didn't mind because it was truly great, but we would have appreciated a notification. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hoy hemos hecho un recorrido por Cartagena con nuestro guía Alejandro y no podemos estar más encantados. Ha sido súper amable, cercano y atento durante todo el tour, explicándonos un montón de cosas y haciendo que conociéramos la ciudad de una forma muy entretenida. Después hemos visitado Getsemaní y nos ha encantado descubrir esta zona tan especial de Cartagena. Alejandro ha hecho que la experiencia fuera todavía mejor y hemos disfrutado muchísimo del día. ¡Sin duda recomendamos hacer el tour Translate this opinion into English.

Today we took a tour of Cartagena with our guide Alejandro, and we couldn't be happier. He was incredibly friendly, approachable, and attentive throughout the entire tour, explaining so much and making the city a truly entertaining experience. Afterward, we visited Getsemaní, and we loved discovering this special area of Cartagena. Alejandro made the experience even better, and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. We definitely recommend taking this tour! Opinion translated. Show original.

Destacamos el entusiasmo de Uriel para transmitir sus saberes No obstante consideramos que debería adaptar sus explicaciones a los tiempos teniendo en cuenta , como ya nos pasó con otros guías , las condiciones climáticas de extremo calor Dado que tenemos auriculares , las explicaciones podrían ser cambiando en lugar de estar parados en un lugar El preámbulo antes de comenzar fue demasiado extenso No nos pareció adecuado la forma de presentar al Sr que hace artesanías y no tiene manos

We appreciate Uriel's enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge. However, we believe he should adapt his explanations to the weather, taking into account the extreme heat, as we experienced with other guides. Since we have headphones, the explanations could be given while moving around instead of standing in one place. The introduction before starting was too long. We didn't find the way he introduced the man who makes crafts and has no hands appropriate.

La guia Keyla fue excelente , lo explica todo con pasion. Pero quizas se extendie demasiado y con el calor tan importante que hacia... al final se hizo un poco pesado el tour. Pero ella un 10 como guia Pone que empieza a las 9.55 pero hasta las 10.35 no comenzamos

Keyla, our guide, was excellent; she explained everything with passion. But perhaps she went on for too long, and with the intense heat... the tour became a bit tedious towards the end. However, she was a 10/10 as a guide. It says the tour starts at 9:55, but we didn't begin until 10:35.

Muy buen tour, muy ameno, nos tocó con Fer y Camila (si mal no recuerdo) y muy padre todo, muy bien explicado y el que te den audífono para poder escuchar aún vayas atrás, me parece excelente. Mi único inconveniente es que me aparecía como reservación privada y en realidad es en grupo y aún así la sugerencia de propina es como si fuera privada, si se me hace un poco elevada, 50000 COP por persona, para que lo tomen en cuenta. Sin embargo éste tour vale totalmente la pena si te toca con Fer! Translate this opinion into English.

A very good and enjoyable tour. We were with Fer and Camila (if I remember correctly), and everything was great, very well explained, and the fact that they give you headphones so you can hear even if you're in the back is excellent. My only issue is that it appeared as a private reservation, but it's actually a group tour, and even so, the suggested tip is as if it were a private one. I think it's a bit high at 50,000 COP per person, so keep that in mind. However, this tour is totally worth it if you get Fer! Opinion translated. Show original.

El city tour contenía muchísima información histórica de la ciudad de Cartagena y eso se agradece. Sin embargo, agregaría una parada en algún lugar fresco para reponer un poco el ánimo, ya que el calor era muy intenso y siempre es así en esta ciudad, por lo que 3 horas a pleno sol es mucho. Por último, si bien el guía sabía mucho, hacía comentarios machistas de manera muy innecesaria, por lo que sugeriría revisar ese tipo de aspectos.

The city tour contained a wealth of historical information about Cartagena, which was much appreciated. However, I would suggest adding a stop somewhere cooler to refresh ourselves, as the heat was intense, as it always is in this city, and three hours in the blazing sun is quite long. Finally, while the guide was very knowledgeable, he made some unnecessary sexist comments, so I would suggest reviewing that aspect.

Evelyn fue amorosa. Explico todo claro. Pero el tour me resultó un poco aburrido y además me molestó un poco que parara todo el Tiempo para que compremos cosas. Además estaría bueno que salga más temprano, porque se hacen las 12 del mediodía caminando y te moris de calor

Evelyn was lovely. She explained everything clearly. But I found the tour a bit boring, and it also annoyed me that she kept stopping so we could buy things. Also, it would be good if it started earlier, because it gets to be noon by the time we're walking, and you're dying of heat.

An excellent experience! We had the pleasure of having Juliet as our guide. She recounted everything in such detail that it transported us back to that era centuries ago. Learning about the history of such an iconic city made us even more eager to return! This tour is highly recommended for families, couples, or solo travelers.
