More than a historical tour, this experience is an authentic walk with a local guide born and raised in Cartagena. You will discover the squares, churches, colonial streets, and most emblematic corners of the Historic Center and Getsemaní while learning about the history, traditions, culture, and anecdotes that have shaped the city.
Groups are usually small to offer more personalized and close attention. My goal is not just to show monuments, but to help you understand the essence of Cartagena from the perspective of someone who lives there every day. At the end of the tour, you will feel that you have not only visited the city, but that you have spent time with a local friend who has revealed their stories, secrets, and recommendations to you.
