“Last week we had a tour with “”JJ”” who was fantastic. They took our family of 9 including two little ones and we had a very positive experience. The guide was very professional, eliminated any lines at tourist sites…took us to the right mix of stops from shopping to old city history. They were very accommodating and I would recommend them to friends traveling to Columbia.

Martin arranged a tour of Cartagena for our cruise group. His email communications were detailed and prompt. In person we found him to be extremely knowledgable(I tested him ) congenial, articulate and totally responsive to all of our questions and needs. For a truly professional experience–visit Cartagena with Martin Rosales.. Bernie Sabel–Central Florida

We arrived in Cartagena on the Holland America cruise ship Zuiderdam with only a 6 hour stop to see the sights. Martin picked us up at the terminal with an air conditioned van and driver and proceeded to tour the city. He gave us a very complete tour and had us back to the ship on time. I especially enjoyed wandering through the old city. A very colorful experience! Thank you Martin. I would recommend Martin as an alternative to the ship tour package.

My wife and I and another couple were on a P & O cruise visiting Cartagena on February 23rd. After reading all the excellent reviews on Trip Advisor we booked Martin for a walking and sightseeing tour of Cartagena. From the moment we were met at the cruise port until our return Martin’s english commentary and knowledge of the city was superb. We would highly recommend Martin and his tours.

Thanks Martin for an excellent guided tour of Cartagena. We especially appreciated the easy access to your group from the cruise ship (excellent directions and pickup) as well as timely return to the ship. In addition, you provided us with an excellent overview of your beautiful city and country. Your running commentary was outstanding. Thank you for making our day in Columbia one that we will never forget. Dan Blazer
