Very knowledgeable!

This was a great tour! I’d recommend to do it your first few days in Cartagena as Carlos gives great recommendations of things to do, eat & do while on the tour. You’ll also familiarize yourself with the areas you’ll frequent the most.

Good tour

Carlos' tour covered the main sights of the old town and provided us with basic information about its history and architecture. Unfortunately, Carlos' English isn't very good – his explanations were often disjointed or interrupted by long pauses because he couldn't find the right word. A bit more enthusiasm would have improved the experience.
