5.00My teenage daughter and I, thanks Dani, were able to understand the context and history behind every "typical Cartagena experience" from the historic center to Getsemani. An experience that is enjoyed with all the senses. We love to take this tour, one hundred percent recommended.
I learned a lot and had fun doing it.

5.00Dani was fun, engaging and professional. I was on a solo trip when I booked her tour and really enjoyed myself. It was like taking a tour with a good friend. Not only was the super knowledgeable, she was so sweet.
A great half-day tour in Cartagena during a cruise stop

5.00I was on a cruise that stopped in Cartagena for one day. A friend who had previously visited Cartagena recommended I contact Dani. I arranged for Dani to take my group on a half day tour. We ranged in age from 35 to 80, and Dani was able to put an itinerary that catered to everyone's needs. The tour was a perfect mix of history, sightseeing and shopping. As well as a delicious lunch. Dani is very nice and knowledgeable. A really fun day!
A perfect guide

5.00The guide was a charm and had the historical and cultural knowledge of what it taught us. We were with an elderly person who walked little by little and totally adjusted.
