First time in Cartagena and so glad we booked this excursion. We were fortunate to be with Benny as our tour guide. Benny was so informative on history with all the places we stopped. He was quick to point out so much to see while driving between stops. Benny made adjustments to the itinerary that I felt made it even better. I’ve been on many, many excursions and Benny was one of my favorite tour guides anywhere in the world. I think this is a great tour to experience the highlights of Cartagena!

Firstly I must say that the cruise port was the best we had ever been to. There were flamingos, many parrots flying freely, howler monkeys and an anteater all around the gift shop. Our tour was informative, with our guide Benny who was knowledgeable, friendly and funny. He told us all about Columbia before taking us to the castle, the walled city and a convent. He knew the best places to buy souvenirs, and made sure we were back to the cruise port in good time for all aboard. I highly recommend this tour.

Good overview of city
January 31, 2020
Covering a few major sights in a busy city is a challenge, but one well met by our driver and tour guide. Our very comfortable van took us to a high point - La Popa - which provided a nice view of the city and an explanation of its geography and economic significance. Got photos and a phony Panama hat from a vendor at Castillo San Felipe, a very impressive fort built during Spanish occupation. A tour through the Emerald Museum and a stroll across a main plaza topped off this tour beautifully.

We wanted to see it all, and you can only move as fast as the slowest person in your group. Unfortunately, even though the excursion outlined the physical requirements, not everyone either read them or took them seriously. So we ended up moving ahead of the tour. Overall, the tour was good. Would have spent a lot less time at the monastery and more time in Old Town, where the action is.

I decided to book this tour through Shore Excursion Group instead of through the cruise line. This allowed us to be in a much smaller group. Our tour guide was “Benni” who was a great guide with a very strong voice. Benni helped some in our group make emerald purchases getting them maybe a 30% discount. We toured the San Pedro Church inside which has some original wall built by the Spanish in the 1500’s. Seeing the Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas Fort (largest fort built in the Caribbean) was nice especially with the local people in their native dress.
Reviewer: Donald Sutcliffe
Excellent and comprehensive city tour
February 12, 2019
This was a thorough city tour with a few extra stops at some extraordinarily beautiful sites. The local guide was fluent in English, knowledgeable, friendly, a great host, and gave us a complete overview of the city. I especially appreciated the visit to the San Pedro Claver church, names after the patron saint of slaves, St. Peter Claver, who helped the slaves during the 1500's in South America, during some of the years of Latin America's 400 years of slavery. Very moving.

We booked this through the Ship Mate app, instead of going through our cruise line. This tour was beyond our expectations. It was pretty much a private tour with only 6 of us. We saw all of the sites, while learning much about the city and feeling safe because of our experienced tour guide. By the end of the tour, we felt like our tour guide was an old friend. Unconditionally, we would recommend this tour!

This trip maximized the city -- first stop up to the top of small mountain to tour a monastery and to see spectacular views of entire city and caribbean. Then we wound our way to the old city. And we walked thru the town with our tour guide sharing more info. Then a tour of the new city with where the wealthier live. Good live narration about Colombia.

Informative excursion

I would not schedule with Shore Excursions for this activity again. While the excursion itself was very good, the bus we rode in was TERRIBLE. You could not see out of the windows and seats extremely narrow and cramped. The tour guide was very good.

Because the guide did not have anything to identify that he was with Guiana tours this was a bit frustrating. Eddie assured me that the bus would be identified and it was.Turned out to be a fabulous tour and Eddie was just fantastic. Everyone we passed knew him and called out to him and that was not happening with other guides. Eddie was so informative, we all felt we knew the area by the end of the tour. The most important thing is that Eddie made doubly sure we were back at the ship on time! Lovely way to see Caragena and all the sights. I would give this a 4 star rating

This was a wonderful tour. Our guide Eddie was superior both in his delivery and his knowledge. The Old City's history was fascinating. One drawback: too much time spent shopping. If the shopping was eliminated, we may have had more time at the fort. As is, there was only time for a photo op.

Cartagena is a very historic, well preserved city. Our guide was very enthusiastic about his cultural heritage. He added a personal note to all the stops along the tour. A short walk through the city center was lots of fun. Numerous performers and artists performed very skillfully and without pressuring for donations. This tour covers a lot of the noteworthy sights and was very reasonably priced.
