Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- alexbN1835PZ0 contributionsGreat experience!Jera was a great guide. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cartagena! Excellent history of emeralds in Colombia and beautiful pieces.Written 10 January 2025
- 877marissal0 contributionsSerpentine emerald braceletMarvelous tour and fantastic tour guide. Jera Guardo is very knowledgeable and cordial in her craft. There's no pressure to buy anything. They sent a van to pick us up from our hotel accommodation, which is Dreams Karibana, a 30-minute drive from the museum. The history was moving, how these indigenous people worked hard to make luxury jewelry for us. The piece that I chose was a gift from my hubby of 29 years and counting. My birthstone is also emerald, so, he shot two birds with one stone. I call it serpentine emerald bracelet. I love it! Thank you Jera!Written 9 January 2025

- ksufan880 contributionsVery educational with no pressure to buyWe arrived to this half museum, half jewelry store with a group. We had a guide who spoke excellent English show us around the museum explaining where emeralds are found, how they are mined and how to rate the quality of them. It was very well displayed with descriptions in both English and Spanish. Of course, the tour ended in the jewelry store where you could ask additional questions and make a purchase if you wanted.Written 25 December 2024
- Virgil S0 contributionsEmerald history tourWe were given a tour guide for a walk through the small museum. The tour guide is actually a sales rep that will encourage you to buy some jewelry at the end of the about 30-40 minute walkthrough. The history information and displays were very interesting. We did not buy anything.Written 22 December 2024

The experience was incredible, we were amazed by the wonderful world of the emerald, Melbis is excellent, we are grateful to her because she was the one who made us love that precious stone. We were in other museums and we did not get knowledge about the emerald. We recommend that museum 100%. Then we went to the shop and Esmeralda chose me. We feel safe and confident that is why we buy their products. They offered us transfer service to the hotel to feel safe. Richard, the company driver, very friendly and cordial.
