What people are saying about Cartagena
Overall rating
It was amazing! There was a nice transport pick up from the hotel with an air conditioning in the car. We had fun! Alfonso was a great guide and talked to us the whole time making us feel comfortable and explaining us about the farm and the horses. The animals were very calm and nice. We walked and rode on the beach for an hour and we went even in the water with them. It was a memorable experience. Alfonso took the best photos and was very friendly. We highly recommend!
Miguel & Marianna were great guides for this 4 part tour. Miguel was a very personable guide, checking in on all groups and trying his best to create camaraderie among the group for the cholon party boat. Each island was unique & I especially love the fried fish lunch that came with!
We enjoyed the progression of every island had a little more to do and it was fun I would say make sure you serve hot food and improve on Boats conditions but the guides were sweet and fun the captain got us back safe so overall Great time
Ana was great, very organised and imformed but letting the group relax meanwhile on the islands. Beautiful spots and a nice day out around Cartagena, 100% recommended.
Juan and yaru were amazing! So friendly and helpful! All the islands were perfect.
