About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Vivianaportillo0 contributionsSafe and affordableVery safe and affordable transport option for a large group. They were punctual even though our plane was delayed and patiently waited after we came out 2 hours late. We were able to communicate via WhatsApp to book them again for our return. Very friendly staff, would definitely use again when I’m back!Written September 3, 2024
- Judy M0 contributionsProfessional ServiceI had an early AM pickup for airport so was nervous. There was no need for nerves. Driver was 5 mins early and ride was safe and smooth. The only thing I messed up was not leaving a tip for the driver. I used all my cash for housekeeping and felt awful about it. I’d love to send him one. Would definitely use again.Written August 12, 2024
- Acecimor0 contributionsExcellentVery friendly and professional they always keep you inform thru WhatsApp. Highly recommended . Used their service 3 different times while in Cartagena .Written July 12, 2024
- 940aleh0 contributionsSafe transportWe booked this for airport pick up and drop off for 4 people. We heard that there were cheaper options but wanted to have a safe way to get around since it was our first time in Colombia. It was easy to book and they communicated via WhatsApp. The airport was a bit chaotic but our driver was great at letting us know where he was parked. The pick up was just as easy and communication was fast.Written May 7, 2024
- Tour1442410 contributionsExcellent ServiceOur driver Juan R. got in touch with us a day before. He was punctual, cordial and very nice! He also provided some very helpful tips and suggestions for our stay.Written April 29, 2024
- Leianess0 contributionsExcellent serviceExcellent service but not that communication will be a challenge face to face but in the app is easier. Pick up was there on time and communicating .Written April 28, 2024
- dae58850 contributionsPatient and friendly serviceCommunication with the company and then with Juan Ruiz, our assigned driver, was easy and very clear. Immigration took ages (~3 hours midafternoon on a Saturday) and Juan remained present AND pleasant. The moment we got through the door, he was there with a sign and the car, and delivered us directly to our hotel, giving us a quick “welcome to Cartagena” speech as he did.Written April 21, 2024
- vikram790 contributionsGreat experience!Very efficient and reliable. They sent me a text before I landed in Cartagena with a picture of the driver and the car. While we got delayed in immigration, the driver kept us posted with a picture of where he was. When we got out of baggage claim, he was waiting for us. We asked if we could stop by Cafe Del Mar on our way to the Airbnb, he agreed and we made a 15-minute stop to capture the sunset. The car was clean and he got us to our Airbnb safely. I would use them again.Written March 15, 2024
- Josh F0 contributionsOn time, professional and welcomingGreat driver, Edgardo, who was waiting for us and communicated with me prior to our arrival. He sent me a photo of himself so we knew who to look for. He was very friendly and was so kind to comeback to our hotel when one of my children left his stuffed animals in the car! Great people and a very welcoming.Written March 11, 2024
- averilc20240 contributionsGREAT VACATIONSimply Awsome . Reliable service great drivers and excellent advise on places to go . Will definitely return with more family and friends can’t wait to go back thanksWritten February 26, 2024
- KoGo20220 contributionsGreat & communicativeGloria reached out to me 24hours via WhatsApp to confirm the reservation w/ the driver. The driver, Orlando, also reached out through WhatsApp to provide his name & to confirm where he’d be on pick up day. He was prompt and patient especially since the flight was 2 hours delayed. Outside of the driver tip, we had to pay an extra $10 directly to the driver since our hotel was outside of the tourist zone. This was communicated on the website but also Gloria reminded us about the fee. I’d definitely recommend using this company for airport transfer needs.Written February 19, 2024
- senalen0 contributionsAwesome ServiceGloria was super responsive in helping and confirming my ride. I even sent their WhatsApp info to the 13 other girls in my party. My driver was Manuel and he was able to pick up one of my friends from CTG at 10p and bring her safely to the hotel. Manuel was also available to bring me to the airport for departure. Great company, I will use every time I go to Cartagena and will always share their information with friends!Written February 15, 2024

Please do not book this excursion.
This excursion is very misleading and you will not be able to do anything that is mentioned in the description. I am convinced that this tour is based on a broken system where they try to scam you into paying more.
This is a very long excursion (4am-12:30am(20 hours). We did not feel safe during it.
The bus ride was 5 hours to get to the park. On the bus the tour- guide presented two options. I was confused by this because normally when I go on excursions they lead the way. They asked us do you want to walk through tayrona or do you want a bus ride through tayrona. We picked to walk.
We ended up having to take a public transportation bus to tayrona park because they did not have enough seats. We also ended up having to PAY to get inside tayrona park.
If we were not so far from our hotel I would have called a cab and went back because the whole situation felt unsafe.
We ended up going through the park on our own. There was no one to tell us about the park and it’s history nothing.
WE DID NOT SEE neguanje, cristal beach or el rodadero.
This tour is a HUGE SCAM! They are trying to rip you off. I beg of you please do not waste your money booking this excursion through Samaria Tours do it with someone else.
We felt unsafe the entire time, and the bus ride back was even more scary because they were SPEEDING down a dark road with no lights for 5 hours.
We were so thankful that we made it home safe. So I am writing this to say, please do not waste your money on this trip. It will ruin the tayrona experience AND IT IS NOT SAFE. It is a scam.

Good morning Mrs. Ashia, we infinitely regret your comment and the bad day that happened with us. However, we appreciate the many wonderful comments we receive from our activities, especially this one from Tayrona Park. We carefully explained to you that you had booked the Tour Parque Tayrona Sector Playa Cristal, however you and other people who joined you, upon arriving at the Park insisted that you wanted to go to the other walking tour called Cabo San Juan, of course this was a trauma for us, since the logistics were prepared only for 13 people who had bought that tour. From there all the improvisation was derived to fulfill its requirement (vehicle, guide, delay in the activity, etc). Again we apologize and hope in the near future to have the opportunity to serve you as you deserve. If you wish, we are willing to offer a courtesy, to give us the opportunity to really show you our service.

I was hesitant at first, but Alex and Jose were amazing. It was a longer journey but so worth it. We were picked up in a air conditioned bus that traveled 3 hours to Santa Marta. A word of advise, bring toilet paper as none is given and of course you will have to pay to use the restroom.
We had a 3-4 hour stop to Tayrona Park, where the water is beautiful. There were no pressure to buy stuff like other beaches and it was so peaceful not to be bother constantly. We then stopped in the city was all the locals were nice and helpful. We were amazing in how the price differ from Cartagena. Definitely cheaper and bought everything we wanted to try it have. This trip was a must and so glad we took the risk of taking it. Gorgeous views, fun beach time, and great tour guides.

Written July 25, 2019
Buenas tardes, por el momento solo ofrecemos el sector de Playa Cristal, debido a que en un solo día es muy pesado para realizar la caminata de 4 horas que demanda el sector de Cabo San Juan. Esperamos contar con su presencia en nuestra maravillosa experiencia del sector Neguanje - Playa Cristal.

Hola! Al comprobar la disponibilidad he visto que sólo hacéis las excursiones los martes y viernes, ¿habría alguna posibilidad de hacerla un lunes? Nos interesaría el lunes 12 de agosto y seríamos tres personas. Gracias!
Written July 19, 2019
Buenas tardes, ofrecemos la actividad solo martes y viernes; sin embargo si usted desea con gusto podemos realizar el tour cualquier día de manera privada, con un considerable incremento en el costo por persona. Quedamos atentos a sus comentarios.

The bus leaves the park at around 5 in the evening. They stop at Santa Marta for an hour and a half. It's another 3 hours to Cartagena from there. You should be back to your hotel in Cartagena after 10 at night.
