“We had a 3 day trip to Cartagena, solely to experience the Columbian coast, it’s people food and culture.
Thanks to Martin for bringing it all together. From the moment we started planning this trip he was very responsive to our communications.
Aside from the demonstrating his expert knowledge of his city during our tours, he was very personable and accommodating. He arranged our pick up and drop at the airport and and also provide great recommendations for dinner each night during our visit.
Thank you Martin!”
