5.00The best decision I made to travel from Santa Marta to Cartagena was to hire a driver for door to door transportation. Hader Bustamante arrived early and got us to Cartagena in about 4.5 hours regardless of the major accident that had traffic backed up for miles. He informed us of major locations and provided educational information as well. I would recommend his services for efficiency and price.

5.00This was an excellent transfer with our driver Jader Bustamante. He was at our pick up location ahead of time, we were given cold bottled water for the trip. He was an excellent driver and we felt very safe. The car was spacious and had good air conditioning. We made a brief stop for toilet and coffee about halfway through. Would highly recommend. Total time was 4:30 including the stop.
Great
