5.00I highly recommend getting a guided tour with Fabio. He really added value to how amazing our trip was. When we arrived in Cartagena, we did a three hour biking tour around the city with him to get oriented and get a feel for the city. A few days later, we did the three hour walking tour to get a more in-depth look at the city. Both were so much fun and the perfect combo! I was with my teenage son, and we both had a blast. We saw so much of Cartagena! Fabio has awesome energy and is extremely well organized and knowledgeable about his city. We joked that he's like mayor there because everywhere we went, people kept coming up to say hello to him. I mixed up the meet time with him the first day, and he was so accommodating, which I really appreciated. Nothing on the tours was rushed, and I think we even went over three hours each time because he really just wanted us to get the full experience. His tours gave us a lot of confidence to explore the city on our own and fully immerse ourselves in the experience. He gave lots of tips about places to eat and things to do. My son absolutely loved him. He's great with kids but really just the type of person who brings out the best in others and creates a fun atmosphere. Every detail of the tour was seamlessly curated and organized, so all we had to do was relax and enjoy ourselves. He was great with offering to take lots of photos for us to and knew the best shots! Highly recommend and thank you Fabio!!!
A Truly Fantastic Walking Tour of Cartagena with Fabio

5.00My walking tour of Cartagena with Fabio was absolutely outstanding. From the very beginning, he set the tone with his warm personality, deep local knowledge, and genuine passion for the city. Fabio brought Cartagena’s history to life—its colonial past, vibrant culture, and hidden stories—through vivid storytelling and an infectious sense of enthusiasm. What made the tour truly special was how personalized it felt. Fabio didn’t just recite facts; he connected everything to the architecture, the people, and the daily rhythms of the city. He also knew all the best spots for photos, snacks, and views that I never would have found on my own. His recommendations for food and local experiences were spot-on, and he happily answered every question with patience and insight. If you want to experience Cartagena in an authentic, memorable, and engaging way, I cannot recommend a tour with Fabio highly enough. It was one of the highlights of my entire trip!
