“Martin was an encyclopedia. He was very professional, always on time, never in a rush. His recommendations on where to go and where to eat was always on point.
He really knows the city and surroundings. Don’t get foul by hotel tours, Cartagena Tour Guides it is the very best in Cartagena.”

My husband and I enjoyed a terrific 4-hour private tour of Cartagena with Martin Rosales in December. Though we usually aim to book a private tour in advance of our travel, we didn’t this time and felt very fortunate to have found Martin who is from Cartagena and has been a professional guide for years. His knowledge and enthusiasm for this amazing city proved unlimited and infectious. He readily adapted the tour to our interests and laid the foundation for an amazing experience in this most wondrous of cities. Highly recommend, and book him in advance, as I think we really lucked out in what must be rare availability for him.

Organized a tour with Martin for a group from our cruise ship. Martin was excellent to deal with while setting up the tour. He answered emails within hours of sending them. Was very flexible as our numbers increased as more people on the ship joined us. He tailored the tour to our requests of more sites instead of shopping. Our guide Jose was excellent. He was very knowledgeable of Cartagena, the history of the area , the Caribean and carried out the tour at a perfect pace. The bus provided was brand new and very comfortable. For a VIP treatment and quality tour you can not go wrong with Martin and his employees at Cartagena Tour Guides

“A phenomenal way to get a broad and informative tour of Cartagena. Martin was both knowledgeable and personable. He took his time with us and answered all the annoying questions we had.
It’s a little more expensive than a group tour, but all things considered not that much money at all and totally worth it. His car was clean and cool, and being able to spend time on things that were interesting to us made it all worth it.
This would also be a great tour for a wide range of ages, as there was not that much walking involved.
Thanks Martin!”

This tour company, offered by Viator, was extremely good. The tour guide, William, was the father of the owner of the company. Not only did he give us an exceptional tour of the city, he helped us for 3 days translating and going back and forth to the airport to try to find our luggage (which AA lost and didn’t return for 5 days). It was a private tour and also included a driver for the tour that required moving around in the city. It was fabulous! We highly recommend their company.
