Martin is awesome! Making the arrangements was very easy, via email. He is fluent in English and very easy to understand. He and his driver were waiting at the dock as arranged. Martin, my husband and I were dropped off in downtown and we we spent the next 6 hours together exploring and learning about Cartagena. We had wanted to eat some authentic food and he took us to a local place for Arepas. We toured all the known places as well as the theater and a 1700s house now converted to a bed and breakfast. This allowed us to climb to the roof to get an arial view of Cartagena. We saw the Botero sculpture, the university and GGM memorial. We climbed the fort and all along felt very comfortable. It wa supposed to be a 4 hour tour and it turned out to be more like 6. His driver picked us up at the base of the port and we were dropped back off ta the pier. I recommend him highly. Dont hesitate, book him now!!

Four of us went on a private tour with Martin when our cruise ship stopped in Cartagena. Excellent tour!. Totally customized, stopping whenever we asked, adjusting to change in ship itinerary. Well worth the money!

Three of us went on a private tour arranged through Martin when our cruise ship docked in Cartagena in April. Email arrangements were quick and accurate; we were met on time at a location that was easy to access. Our tour guide David spoke excellent English and knew both historical and current information about the city and sights. Our driver Felix was courteous and experienced. Tour was adapted to meet my daughter’s shopping request and my husband’s bum knee. Would highly recommend.

“This tour was great! I arranged the tour with Martin, the owner of the company and was pleased with his quick response.
Our tour guides were at port early so they were there to meet us as soon as we got off the ship.
We had a driver, Winnie and a guide,Elquin. Elquin was spoke fluent English so there was no communication problems. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour.
I would definitely recommend Cartagena Tour Guides.”
