What To Expect
Plaza de San Diego
The Refuge of Nobles & Rebellious Nuns We begin in this lively square, once home to Cartagena’s wealthy merchants. Nearby stands the Santa Clara Hotel, once a convent full of forbidden love stories and eerie legends. Some say a nun was buried alive within these walls, inspiring García Márquez’s novel Of Love and Other Demons.
Plaza Fernandez Madrid
Shadows of Independence This peaceful square hides scars of Colombia’s fight for freedom. José Fernández de Madrid, a poet and independence leader, dreamed of a liberated Cartagena. But betrayal lurked in the shadows, and not all heroes received the glory they deserved.

5.00I appreciated that they didn’t cancel the tour since I was the only person that signed up and did so day of. I ended up getting a private tour from Miguel, which was great. It was cool seeing the city in day and night and the sunset over the Wall (haven’t done any other walking tours over sunset but this is a great idea). It was also interesting learning more about Cartagena history. When you are solo traveling, it can be challenging to capture pictures of yourself so the majority of my Colombia trip pictures are of the scenery or selfies but on this tour with Miguel, he helped me capture nice pictures that I will look back on for a lifetime.
Highly recommend. great experience.
