- K F0 contributionsA disgusting impoverished horrifying placeAn impoverished absolutely disgusting place. This beach is like a third world country and the boat tours are dangerous, ran by sketchy people in sketchy dangerous boats. Do not ever go this place.Written November 11, 2024
- Paul H0 contributionsGood sightseeing, but concerns for foreignersOur guide was Arturo I'm removing one star because the tour was mostly in Spanish. It was advertised as English and Spanish but id say it was 75-80% Spanish. Fortunately I actually understand Spanish fairly well, but there was one person on tour who didn't. Even with my Spanish, which is good but not fluent, there were things I missed. The guide even had to be reminded at times to talk in English. His English was good when he spoke. I'm removing another star because of how it ended. The iteneray said we would end where we started. And we ended in the middle of town. I even brought this up to the tour guide and he didn't seem to think it was a big deal. That the four was over and it was time for lunch This is practically unforgiveable. And I'm tempted to leave a lower rating just because of this. As a foreigner in a strange city, I would expect to be back where I started rather then be lost and needing to figure things out. Especially when the itinerary states you'll go back. The overall tour itself was actually pretty good. The history was entertaining and plenty of sights to see and great picture locations.Written November 10, 2024
- Cruiser243810444540 contributionsGreat experienceThe tour guides were very informative and knowledgeable. We saw all the major landmarks of the city and the tour of the fort was the highlight of the entire experienceWritten October 29, 2024

- alejandramB3042DV0 contributionsOk tour but a few thing to notice...Ok tour but a few thing to notice: PROS - The beach was beautiful. - The tour guide was very attentive. - The car was comfortable and had good A/C. CONS - Lunch was not very tasty. - Be prepared to see some poverty around. - You have to take a quick ride in a not very nice boat. - They do not pick you up at the hotel if you are staying in the Central Area. We bought an extra ticket to go snorkeling and feed some racoons. We do not recommend this experience as the boat used was very old and did not seem very safe. Also, the racoons scratched and bit my grandma on the arm and this did not allowed us to fully enjoy the rest of the trip.Written October 21, 2024

This was our 5th consecutive year using Guianza tour services. We selected the locations and sights we wanted to see on a private City tour, and were taken to all. The tour guide Julio was very knowledgeable and his English was excellent. We are most interested in history and culture and appreciated the guide's insights. As usual, Guianza was on time for pickup and the General Manager Walter checked on us to ensure we were satisfied. For a personalized experience I highly recommend Guianza. We have purchased many of their other tours and recommend them as well.

2 couples on a cruise. My husband and I had been here once before and had a tour with this company. We told our friends that they must see Cartegena this way.
We were not disappointed. Walter Garcia was our guide. ( his father, Eddy, was our guide the last time ). Charm and enthusiasm for their city runs in the family.
Most tours do not include a visit to the historic convent , chapel on Mount Popa as the road is too steep and narrow for buses. So this private tour can take you to this breathtaking site as well as all the other must sees in the old city.

We really enjoyed our tour with Guianza Express. They were very responsive to whatsapp messages and tailored a private tour for 16 of us. They picked us up from our hotel in Bocagrande and took us to la Cevicheria per our request. Since we had organized this with them in advance, they had people waiting at the restaurant to save our tables (seating is very liminted). Then we started out by visiting Convento de la Popa then Castillo San Felipe Fort. We walked around to Santo Domingo plaza and Getsemani. The tour guide Carlos was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I would highly recommend this company, very efficient and professional.

A tour with a historical approach and also a lot of fun! Our guide Manuelito made it very enjoyable and the private transportation was exceptional, as the heat of Cartagena can get a little overwhelming

Does this tour include pick-up and return to and from the cruise ship? Annd, how long is the tour?
Written August 6, 2018
Yes, we were picked up by private car with driver and guide at cruuse ship terminal. Normally a 3 hour tour I think but we had additional request to go to top of Mount Popa. Bus tours cannot get to this view point. It is a wonderful addition.
Enjoy. M
