Amazing introduction to Cartagena!

Our guide Juan was absolutely amazing in explaining the history of Cartagena and Getsamani. He explained local foods that were absolutely delicious and we ended up spending the rest of our night in the Getsamani plaza looking for all of his recs and all were 10/10. We really appreciate this tour sharing so many local secrets and making us feel at home!

Walled city tour

Liz was amazing, the love for her home town is evident in her exuberance. Hot tip for others listen carefully to key dates in history you might win a beer. Also nice to get around and not be hassled by street sellers, well not as many. ????
