About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Voyage1944390 contributionsTooling around the neighborhoodWilly was an excellent guide. Funny, knowledgeable and he knew people everywhere. Not a particularly grueling ride, though - despite the heatWritten March 18, 2025
- travelerpa534490 contributionsOverpriced and not as advertisedIt was advertised as a 7 stop tour. We had 3 stops ( 1 empanada to split, 1 arepas to split, and 1 bread roll each.) We stopped for 10 minutes at the first two stops and were handed a bag at the last. In the two hours our tour took, we walked over 3.5 miles. It was not enjoyable and grossly overpriced, although I guess it depends on which Willy you get that day. He did seem knowledgeable about Old Town, but spent an excess amount of time on the phone.Written February 17, 2025
- mitchellf20250 contributionsAmazing Cartagena Bike Tour by WillyOur tour guide Willy was amazing and we would highly recommend doing this bike tour of Cartagena. It was informative, interesting and we saw many sites around the city which were more than just the typical sites. Willy is the man and try not to leave Cartagena before having this bike tourWritten January 20, 2025

- danielo9900 contributionsWilly is the BEST!!My wife and I went on a walking tour with Willy and it exceeded our expectations. He is extremely knowledgeable on the history of the city and the entire region. I learn a ton and he made it fun and tied everything into the areas we visited. He took us to a top quality emerald dealer and I got a discount on a ring for my wife. He provided refreshments and if we were hungry or thirsty he quickly worked in some amazing recommendations for everything. Very professional. Speaks Spanish and English. Highly recommend!! Willy is the absolute best.Written December 20, 2024

- margaretcB2195ZA0 contributionsVery disappointingWe were very disappointed in this tour. It was only 2 hours, with only 3 stops for food. We would consider this the most disappointing food tour we have ever taken. Our experience seems to be vastly different than most of the reviews. I cannot recommend this tour.Written December 11, 2024

- alyssajorgensen10 contributionsYummy City TourThis tour was not only a ton of stops (8 in total) for food, but a vibrant 3 hr city tour! Willie was informative and engaged, asked us a ton of questions. He showed us many vendors who we otherwise would be intimidated by.. Everyone was so friendly and it was fun for the whole family, 11yo to 70yo. Food was included and sometimes ready for us upon arrival. We tipped everyone!Written September 28, 2024

What a great experience and a wonderful guide. Willy and his son were very informative when taking us around the city. They speak fluent English which was helpful for us. I would definitely reach out to them again when we come back to visit

My parents and I enjoyed our short trip to Cartagena thanks to our amazing tour guide Willie. We had two full days of activities that were well planned out. Willie is very personable and made sure we were satisfied and happy through our tours. My sister and her friends traveled to Cartagena last year and recommended that I book him. I am so glad that we did. Thank you Willie, I will be back so I will see you again.

The tour was excellent! We had a great time with Willy! He is super knowledgeable and a really kind and open person! We learned a lot about the history and culture. He shared so many interesting facts about the City, the region and the country. And more than that, he was patient with any extra stop and picture we wanted to take. Time flew by and we had a great afternoon in the Cartagena heat! Gracias por todo!

We had an amazing time with Willi. Got a great tour of the city AND he delivered an extra tour of the Claver monastery! Truly an amazing time. Be sure to stop by crepes and waffles in Getsmani.

Willy was an amazing tour guide! We did two tours with him: a walking food tour around the city of cartagena and a tour through bazurto market. Willy was incredibly resourceful, knowledgeable, and energetic! We learned a lot about the Colombian culture and food scene. Highly recommend using this tour group!
