What people are saying about Cartagena

We visited Cartagena using Noriega Tours, for a private tour, and would definitely recommend them to anyone. We communicated with them via text and email and knew they were going to be there to meet us. Just outside the port welcome center, we were met by our guide, Adalberto Gonzalez Ortiz who was a GREAT host and provided an interesting and informative experience. Our driver, Nelson Noviega, was friendly and helpful - and most importantly ON TIME coming and going. Both Nelson & Adalberto spoke very good English which was great. It is well worth taking the private tour - we moved at our own pace - saw things without a crowd and had a local guide there to explain details on the tour. We saw the sights, shopped a little bit, and had a great time. This tour was great - made us feel welcome and was very informative and fun. Another good thing was the value for money. Other tours we took on this trip were not as nice and cost more. We will definitely return to Cartagena.

Our tour guide Jhon was excellent! He arrived on time and the tour occurred as described. His English was good, and he answered all of our questions. We would take another tour from him in the future.

Jorge was our guide and he was absolutely amazing. Great knowledge, super friendly, very calm and with a great vibe. I loved this tour and would recommend it to anyone! Thanks Jorge

Omg.. my husband and I had the most amazing time! Everything was delicious and our chef was phenomenal! I highly recommend visiting this studio and enjoying this experience!

Great experience! If youre alone in Cartagena, do this and meet some cool people.
