My only regret about our tour with Martin is that we didn’t book it for the first day of our trip! Martin is a local and he knows so much about Cartagena. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. He responded to my request for a tour (on his website) within an hour, and we scheduled a tour for the next day. He met us at our hotel in Getsemani and we walked all over Getsemani and the Walled City. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with. I can’t recommend his private walking tour enough!

Martin was a great guide. The entire family enjoyed our two hour walking tour of the old city. Highly recommend it if you are planning a visit to Cartagena.

It is an hour flight from the Panama City and a must visit place if you made it to that part of the world.. very picturesque, full of nice hotels and restaurants, stretching along the ocean, trending and fast growing as a popular tourist destination. There is history, culture and beach in this city which is a great combination for a nice vacation… Beach is covered with grayish sand but otherwise is fine, food is interesting to try, lots of passion fruit ice cream (my favorite). Bus city tour is a good way to see old and new Cartagena and do some shopping.. emeralds are sold everywhere… 3 days was more than enough for us to see it all..
