“We spent a great day in Cartagena with Martin as our private tour guide. We were a party of four. All questions with Martin were quickly answered and I must say we will definitely be returning to Cartagena in November, and I plan on using Martin again. We were always ahead of all the tour groups so we were never crowded nor were we ever rushed. Martin know his city and is very proud of it. Overall we had a great time and would most certainly recommend Martin to all of our friends.
Thanks again Martin for such a great tour.

I booked a 4.5 hour combo city and walking tour directly with Martin. He was prompt with all replies setting up the tour and punctual. He was very professional and knowledgeable about Cartagena’s history and current status. We stayed in the walled city for three nights and the only time we left the old city was with Martin. His tour was so comprehensive and informative we did not feel any need to revisit the areas outside the old city. He picked us up directly at the San Pedro Hotel and Spa and returned us there at the conclusion of the tour. Highly Recommended.

“Our guide Eduardo Fuentes was excellent. his commentaries were very appropriate. He was very flexible as we changed the itinerary several times. Very thorough and patient.
I definitely recommend this tour after visiting Cartagena.”
