    The start of my trip was a bit of a shambles as the bus came but a load of tourists of a cruise ship got on so everyone else had to get off. Then we waited for the next bus and then had to get off at convention centre which I didn't want to see and wait for another bus. After this the trip was great and I hopped on and off and the next buses were generally on time. The shopping centre is mainly full of expensive shops but has some eating places also which were good. I really enoyed Cartegena and took the travel hiccups in my stride but just bear in mind that you may need longer than you think. I didn't get off at fort because you have to pay to access even right at the bottom. The old town was lovely. I liked the history on the headphones. The music got a bit tedious after a while but the info was interesting.

    Hop on/Hop off service was excellent. A great way to get around town for low price. Stops were ok. If you’re a history buff, the fort was an interesting stop. There’s also a museum, but we didn’t have time to stop. Other stops include mall, beach and other stops around the city. Only downfall was one of the buses was blacked out in the front so we couldn’t see out.
