        Arthur was an engaging, knowledgeable guide who made the Cartagena tour informative, fun, and memorable with his passion
        I had an amazing experience on the city tour in Cartagena with Arthur as our guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city, bringing each location to life with fascinating stories and insights. Arthur’s enthusiasm and passion for Cartagena made the tour engaging from start to finish. He took us to all the must-see spots while also showing us hidden gems that truly captured the essence of the city. His friendly and approachable personality made it easy to ask questions, and he ensured everyone in the group had a great time. I highly recommend Arthur if you’re looking for an informative, fun, and memorable tour in Cartagena!

        The experience was wonderful and relaxing. I would highly recommend this adventure, the tour guide was more than accommodating and made sure to pick us up and drop us off at the hotel. He was super friendly and knowledgeable and loved sharing his culture with us.

        I’m a frequent visitor but I wanted to share the beauty of Cartagena with my sister. Walter delivered!
        Walter is not only an excellent guide, his knowledge of the history was a bonus for a history buff such as myself. A polyglot and charming at that!

        Awesome tour and excellent tour guide, Sergio!
        Our tour guide Sergio was awesome. Explaining everything in Spanish and English even though 80% of the people spoke Spanish. The air conditioning in the bus was a lifesaver. Half day tour was perfect and we saw all of the major sites. Highly recommended this tour for anyone

        Excellent experience- will use them for other tours
        Excellent tour. It was a last minute decision and we’re glad we found this company through Viator. The tour size was small (6 people) and manageable. It was done in the morning which meant we escaped the scorching heat of the day, the throngs of tourists and hordes of vendors. Carlos our guide was very knowledgeable. A friend who lives in Cartagena joined us for the tour and learnt many new things from Carlos. I will definitely use this company again.

        10/10 would def recommend.
        Really fun tour! Good for both English and Spanish speakers with lots of jokes. There's a good amount of walking involved when you get to the fort but lots of opportunities to rest so that was nice. 10/10 recommend when you're in Cartegena.

      This beach was the best, we had a beautiful view and we were able to take a quiet sunbath, also enjoy the waves and the area where we were located had shade so we could cool off. The guide was very friendly and easy-going, he spoke English and Spanish so that we could all understand the instructions, at all times he was attentive to our needs, the lunch was delicious, the transportation was comfortable and the established schedules were met. Overall, a good experience worth recommending.

      It was an excellent tour. The transportation was very comfortable and safe, the tour was very well explained. Our guide Michael, incredible, was very friendly, and gave the explanation in both Spanish and English so that all of us who were on the tour could understand. Very good English level. The beach was beautiful, we were able to take many photos, swim, rest under the bungalows in the shade and the lunch that was already included (local food) was very delicious. Super recommended!

      Like the other reviews, Michael was a kind and personable host. He had a lot of information to share about Playa Blanca and Colombia. The fish lunch was our favorite meal of the trip!

      Remember not to accept any "free" massages, trinkets, or food unless you plan to purchase. It is a public beach, but your guide will take you to a quieter space.

      Everything is fine, the arrival is a bit long (more than an hour) and the time on the beach is perceived as not enough due to how beautiful it is.
      Boris accompanied us the entire trip and was very kind and attentive to details. Anything he will be at your service. ;)

      I have to say that the day before the tour I had many doubts due to the comments on Trip Advisor, however my experience was great. I went alone and at no time did I feel unsafe. The guide, Michael, was exceptional, very diligent and helpful. The tour goes to Playa Blanca, and stays in a much nicer area called Playa Tranquila and, indeed, for me it was relaxing, I did not feel harassed by street vendors and I was able to enjoy a relaxing bath. I recommend it. Thank you Michael.

      Incredible excursion! We feel safe at all times. Very well organized. We stopped to see the birds and a show. The beach is amazing, crystal clear waters, the sun loungers right next to the water are super comfortable. The ideal time! Very delicious local food!! I would return again without a doubt!!

      Our recent visit to Playa Blanca was superb. Beautiful beach, very friendly native people. I went to this special place close to Cartagena City with my girlfriend for a special occasion and we were not disappointed. Probably this beach is one of the most beautiful places in Colombia. We loved it and already miss it. Our tour girl, Vanessa, was a excellent guide. A special cartagena girl. Friendly like all staff members. We are greeted with her and the driver. Really pleasant.

      When we return to Cartagena, we will go back to Playa Blanca

      We purchased tickets for a day trip to Playa Blanca from Cartagena. The trip started about an hour late and it was a pretty tight ride by bus. Once arriving, we had to walk through rocks, feces etc to get to the beach. There was a lunch included which was a delicious grilled fish but the lunch was unorganized as well. You had to pay to lay in the beach chairs so get ready to haggle. Everyone there is trying to sell you something: massages, jewelry, sunglasses...it was an ongoing "no, gracias" from the time we go there up until we left.

      We had an excellent time on this tour to Playa Blanca. We were served a nice lunch (fish, patacones, and rice), but were told at the very end of the tour (after hotel drop-off) that it wasn't included and asked to pay COP45,000/person (approx USD15) for the lunch. While the lunch was good, 1) we should have been told that it wasn't include in our package and *the cost* *before* lunch, and 2) COP45,000 is very high for that type of lunch and probably could have been obtained for less on the beach; COP25,000-COP30,000 would have been more reasonable. The cost of the lunch and a photo of what exactly is included in the lunch should be disclosed up front (eg. on the way to the beach). Other than the lunch issue, we had a very pleasant time and our tour guide was very nice.
