A boy full of knowledge. It is not only the city but also the history and culture of the city itself. We visited many places, monuments rich in history and Fabio told us everything about those places. It was worth the price and I really recommend taking a city tour with this company.
Visiting Cartagena, you MUST book this company. They offered great service and were very knowledgeable of the area. They offer a host of tours and are able to book just about any experience you want. I booked them for a birthday photoshoot, including a drone, in the beautiful art district of Getsamani. It was such a fun experience, not only enjoyed the experience and photos but also the pleasant personality of Owner Fabio and his assistant Luis. My friends and I enjoyed our day with them and felt like they were longtime friends. Professional, prompt service, with a fun vibe. I look forward to booking them again when I return.
