Touring Cartagena’s historic center is like opening a history book that comes to life. Between walls, colonial balconies and charming squares, you will discover why this city is a World Heritage Site.
With my guide, you will not only see the most iconic places — the Clock Tower, Customs Square, Cathedral and walls — but you will hear the stories and legends that have made Cartagena a cultural treasure. I will tell you details that do not appear in the books or on the internet, with anecdotes that will make you feel part of the city.
More than a tour, it will be a close experience, where you will understand the essence of Cartagena and take local tips to continue enjoying your trip as a cartegenero.

“Plaza de los Carcos, right in front of the Clock Tower, was a former slave market. Today it is a colorful square with colonial balconies, the traditional Portal de los Dulces and the statue of the founder, Pedro de Heredia.”
