Cartagena Unforgettable: Half Day Private City Tour (Also for Cruisers)

Posted By : U8039VDdianam
We arranged a private city tour with Cesar, he was knowledgeable, professional, courteous.
Cesar showed us Cartagena very well and we learned many new things about La Fantastica!

He picked us up at our hotel, mentioned places to shop if we wanted to purchase souvenirs and local restaurants. We had a delicious lunch ala Picua restaurante!

We did enjoy this tour very much, and we highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to make the best of their time in Cartagena!

Thank you Cesar!

Wonderful experience. From the moment we were greeted at the dock until our return we were constantly being provided with sites to see and historical facts about Cartagena.
With Louis under the wheel of our van we were able to weave our way through the worst traffic congestion I’ve ever seen. Cartagena traffic puts Southern California (the 10, 5, and 405) to shame. I cannot imagine how larger tour vehicles got at, most of the tour time must have been sitting in traffic.
Our guide, Felipeli, was constantly giving us facts and answering questions. His guided tour through the fort (or is it a castle - he’ll let you know as you leave the walled city).
Visit the La Popa Convent, Getsemani, and many other sites. Shop as much as you want or none at all.
The tour ended at the dock area and we had time to visit the zoo area. Anteaters, sloths, macaws, peacocks, oh my.
Had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend booking this tour. Easy to work with and well organized!

Great overview tour of Cartagena. Cesar was an interesting and knowledgeable guide on everything from history of the city to where to eat like a local. I thoroughly enjoyed the time and experience. Highly recommend you do this on the first day of your stay as it’ll help maneuver the city and know what you’d like to return to.

Small group on a very hot day! Very full of history- city is large, saw the 2 places I wanted to see- Walled city and Getsamani. Fair amount of walking, wear comfortable shoes. great guide- has great love for his city. I would have like to spend more time in Getsamani walking streets- beautiful murals and local shopping .

Our guide Felipe was very personable and extremely knowledgeable and when I wanted to stop at the chocolate shop, we did. Our driver knew the ways to bypass the city traffic to get to where we needed to go overall a very good trip.

Really enjoyed this tour! Felipe was an amazing tour guide. Luis drove the air conditioned SUV brilliantly. Fell in love with Cartagena. Communication before and after tour was top notch. Pickup at the port was flawless. Would book with them again in a heartbeat. We had dinner with a couple from our ship who did a similar ship tour and they hated it. Actually said they hated Cartagena. What a different experience. Thank you for a great day!!!

We enjoyed a very personal and up close tour of Cartagena that was facilitated by Cesar of Peace Travel Columbia. Cesar enriched our experience with his stories and historical knowledge of the areas visited. The tour moved without delays and was well coordinated with timely transportation and adaptation to personal interests. When my cell phone was accidentally left in a restroom, Cesar immediately addressed the issue and the cell phone was recovered. It was quite obvious that Cesar knew his city well and was delighted to share its beauty. When we return to Cartagena, we will most certainly connect again with Cesar and Peace Travel Columbia.

Our recent trip to Cartagena, Colombia while on a cruise with MSC, was nothing short of spectacular, largely thanks to our incredible private tour guide, Cesar. His deep knowledge of the city's rich history and culture brought the colorful streets of Cartagena to life in a way that was both educational and immensely entertaining. Cesar's passion for his hometown was evident in every story and fact he shared, making each historical site, from the iconic Castillo de San Felipe to the charming streets of Getsemaní, feel like a step back in time. His recommendations for local cuisine led us to some of the most delicious meals we've ever enjoyed, blending traditional flavors with contemporary twists. Beyond the scheduled tours, Cesar's insights into the local lifestyle and customs provided a genuine glimpse into the heart and soul of Cartagena. His professionalism, coupled with his warm and engaging personality, made our experience truly memorable. This trip was not just a journey through a beautiful city, but an immersive adventure into its vibrant culture, all thanks to Cesar's exceptional guidance.

Cesar was an excellent guide and so proud of his city. Our stops included: the convent/monastery, the fort, old town, shopping and a terrific restaurant. Me and my friend asked for lunch and told Cesar we’d pay. He chose a phenomenal restaurant.
A shout out to our driver, as well. Very conscientious and patient. Our vehicle was brand new and spotless!
