We took a 4+ hour private tour with Martin Rosales after arranging it via email. He picked us up on time in a comfortable air conditioned vehicle. He patiently and answered all our questions and provided excellent context about the city, its history, districts, economy and sights at the beginning of our stay in Cartagena. Highly recommend.

“My wife and I booked a tour of Cartagena with Martin. He picked us up right on time at our hotel, and explained what the next 4.5 hours would consist in.
Martin is extremely knowledgeable about Cartagena and the rest of Colombia – he is like a walking facts and stats book! You can really tell he is a very experienced guide.
The only reason we are not giving Martin 5 stars is because he spent a big amount of time on the phone during the tour with us, and tended to ignore some of the more lateral questions we did ask.”

“I was looking for a tour guide for 20 people who were going to stop in Cartagena, Colombia from a 12 day cruise. I began my search on Trip Advisor and read the reviews on Cartagena Tour Guides – I am so glad I decided to book with them.
Martin was gracious, professional, informative and friendly [our driver was excellent]. He took his time escorting our group to the sights and educating us with history we didn’t know, or forgot. Its a beautiful city with loads of interesting sights and sounds. I recommend this tour and highly recommend it with Martin Rosales & Cartagena Tour Guides.”

“Since there were only two of us on the tour, we were able to arrange in advance everything we wanted to see and do. We were able to include lunch which was important to my cousin who is a foodie.
Martin was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to answer any questions posed to him. He took us to off the beaten path attractions as well as some of the main ones.
I had a thoroughly enjoyable time with our tour.”
