    We usually like exploring on our own but hired Martin to give the three of us a private tour. He is prompt, professional and courteous and so knowledgable! He will have you fall in love with the city! His tour is pretty well established but he will accommodate your requests. We stopped by a fish market! He is proud of his city and it shows. I worried about the end of the tour being a stop at the Caribe museum…thought it was just going to be a sales pitch. But our tour guide through the museum was so informative; we truly enjoyed it!

    The guide did a great job showing us all the sites we wanted to see. Had a strong understanding of the history and culture, was very friendly, and spoke great English.

    “I have just returned from my Panama Canal Cruise, and a fantastic day in Cartagena with our guide, Benny. I am a travel agent, who has been in the business some 40 years, so when I recommend a tour guide, you can believe it comes from years of experience. I recommend Cartagena Tour Guides to any traveler who really wants to see the city and understand the history and culture. .

    As for Benny, he was knowledgeable, polite, and accommodating to include all we wanted in the itinerary. Your future guests will be most happy with his services. Please thank him again from all in our party for a most enjoyable day.

    I hope to return to Cartagena someday, as it is a delightful, and charming old city, with a new flavor to satisfy every taste.

    Thank you again for your excellent service.”

    Visited Cartagena in January. Saw the tour advertised on Trip Advisor. From the first communication with Martin the arrangements were made easily. The tour was excellent and informative, the car was clean and comfortable. Martin spoke good English and was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. I have already recommended Martin to friends who will be visiting the city.

    I can’t say enough about our experience visiting Cartagena and having the benefit of Cartagena Tour Guides. We had the pleasure of coordinating with Martin in advance of our arrival. Martin was very helpful with offering us great information about Cartagena, hotels, restaurants and excellent activities. He was an excellent communicator via email in advance of the trip. I had not visited Cartagena in over 35 years and was completely in the dark as to the best sites. Martin provided an excellent tour of the city for my husband, daughter and I. He met us at the hotel, took us in his car and showed us not only the historical sites but also shared the history of the city. I am Colombian and my spouse and daughter are american. He provided an amazing way of truely feeling we had seen the best it had to offer. I would highly recommend Martin to anyone that is traveling to Cartagena regardless if they are Colombian or from another country. We look forward to visiting Cartagena soon again. Beautiful people, gorgeous architecture, incredible safety and fantastic dinning.
