I highly recommend this tour. We did the tour in Spanish with the most amazing tour guide, Daniela!!! She was incredibly knowledgeable, transparent about the history of Cartagena, she was friendly and warm. We experienced 2.5hrs visiting various areas of Cartagena: walled city, historic center, Getsemaní. We also got to taste a sweet coconut treat, take pics, and learn the dance Champeta. So fun and informative!

      Gladys_W, Oct 2025
      This was the best tour I've been on in Medellin and I've been on A LOT. My guide was awesome! She was super knowledgeable, funny, engaging, energetic, and very accommodating. I wish she could have been my guide for every tour. I learned so much and got deeper richer knowledge and truthful understanding from her. Wow! 5 out of 5 ⭐️'s

      Liz had great energy and was knowledgeable. It was interesting to learn about the cultural influence of the area.
      So fun & educational
      Meagan_O, Oct 2025
      This was such a fun and educational tour. Legaxy was full of energy and had us laughing the entire time. We had previously seen most of the stops on our own but doing the guided tour gave us the history that we didn’t know previously.
      Perfect tour

      Our incredible tour guide Liz made this walking tour a highlight of my trip to beautiful Cartagena. I highly recommend this walking tour!! Thank you Liz!!
      Amazing tour, OUTSTANDING tour guide!
      Jacquelyn_B, Oct 2025
      This tour was simply incredible, thanks to amazing tour guide Kee Kay. Here's what made it so special: 1. Great Team Cohesion. Rather than a tour group, Kee Kay transformed us into a close-knit TEAM--and, given that two other groups' tour guides were sick that day, that made all the difference. 2. Memorable Mix of History, Culture, Food and Fun. Kee Kay explained at the beginning that he was going to make sure to convey the most important information in each of these categories for us to know about--and to make sure that it would stick long after the tour itself was over. And he DID! He did this through funny stories, highlighting individual participants' extra questions, dividing us into teams for a fun trivia game (while we temporarily rested in an air-conditioned indoor space, to keep the experience comfortable in the summer heat), and--quite literally--having us dancing in the streets to learn the 3 most popular types of local dance. 3. "Explore More" Guide. What really made this tour--and our outstanding guide--stand out, however, was Kee Kay well-researched list of nearby top-rated museums, recommended restaurants for any pricepoint, souvenir shopping tips, hidden gems, and invaluable other resources he gave out digitally to each of us before the end of the tour... to help us all explore our individual interests in deeper detail and make the most of the rest of our visit to Cartagena. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANY TOUR WITH Kee Kay--and this tour is a super-fun, efficient way to see the highlights of Cartagena Old Town Getsemani. A bargain for a new standard in group tours. Enjoy this one!
      definitely take the tour!

      We loved our tour guide, Dani! She was so informative. Definitely do this tour it’s so worth it! I would start a visit to Cartagena with this - it’s great to get the lay of the land.
      Join if you like history lesson
      Candy_C, Sep 2025
      The guide was passionate about history, so instead of walking around showing places to visit, we stood around for most of the tour listening to his history lecture. Not my cup of tea.
      Amazing experience
      Zakkiyah_P, Sep 2025

      Legacy was so knowledgeable about the tour. He is funny and did an excellent job of not only educating us on the history of Cartagena but also entertaining us. Great value!
      Excellent experience
      Elijah_K, Sep 2025
      Although it rained during our tour, we still learned much and enjoyed the experience. I would suggest traveling lightly as you will be doing quite a bit of walking. Our guide (Legaxy) was very enthusiastic, entertaining, and did his absolute best in the tour.

      Wonderful way to see Cartagena!

      My husband and I took this tour with Liz in English. She is a Cartagena native and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city and Colombia. We really enjoyed seeing the Old City and Getsemani this way. Highly recommend! The tour lasts about 2 1/2 hours and does include a lot of walking and standing.
