Some of the best tours we’ve had. We did a walking tour and day boat tour with Fabio and everything was amazing! Fabio is great and ensured we were always having a great time. Everything felt very personalized and comfortable. I highly recommend Fabio and his tours. We learned so much about the city and what places to check out. We left Cartagena making a new friend and loving the city. Will be back for sure!

Fabio was an AMAZING tour guide and exposed me to the culture and food of Colombia, all while making sure I maximized my short time in Colombia and felt safe traveling solo. Another tour company cancelled on me two days in a row on my short 3day trip. Fabio made arrangements for me to meet with his tour later so I didn’t have a day wasted. The sites, activities, food, and company was all 5 stars! Will definitely recommend to anyone traveling solo, with a partner, or family. Cannot wait to return with friends!
