- melalllanbabbbsbbsb0 contributionsExcellent walking tour of CartagenaMy family and I were lucky enough to have Angel Gomez as our tour guide last week in Cartagena. We did a walking tour of Cartagena and learned so much. He made it super interesting for not only my wife and I, but also for our teen agers. Such a nice guy....and so knowledgeable. He went at our pace and adjusted the tour a few times, based on our feedback. We visited historical sites, plus interesting art galleries and unique hotels. He shared insights about the local architecture and provided a historical perspective to every aspect of the tour. If you have trouble connecting with him...his email is angelgomez2003@yahoo.esWritten 20 March 2022
- dannydD1862YF0 contributionsGreatI had Angel Gomez as a tour guide for the graffiti tour he was phenomenal in explaining the history and graffiti of each stop we went to. He even explained places to go and some history of the city.Written 21 May 2021
- sunsetangie0 contributionsGreat Tour - Great Guide!Angel Gomez was a fabulous Tour Guide, good English, knowledgeable about the area. He went over and above to help us locate a clinic for a dental emergency, making taxi arrangements and accompanying us to the Clinic -- acting as a translator.Written 20 February 2019
- seas0ned10 contributionsExcellent tour of Cartagena CastleAngel was a brilliant tour guide in Cartagena last week. We joined the tour late and, at the end, he made a special mini-tour for us to cover the parts that we had missed. Knowledgeable, clear, responsive, flexible and enthusiastic! Follow me please!Written 16 November 2017
- Ryan K0 contributionsAngel Gomez Castillo - fantastic!We met Angel at the Castilla in Cartagena and he gave us a very informative tour. When we asked if he knew anybody that we could rent a boat from, he immediately called a friend and we were set in a matter of minutes for a boat the next day, for cheaper than anything we could find online! Angel even joined us on the boat and would point out historical sites that we would’ve otherwise just gone right past. He was such a kind person, and extremely knowledgeable about everything Cartagena. Would absolutely recommend!Written 5 November 2017
- Bonnie D0 contributionsFantastic and knowledgeable guide!Angel was one of the better tour guides that we've ever had in the many, many countries that my husband and I have visited. He was super professional and had an incredible knowledge about Castillo San Felipe. He shared small details about the construction, architecture, and history that made the tour quite interesting. We are both bilingual, but we asked Angel to conduct the tour in English. His English is outstanding and he answered our questions thoroughly. We highly recommend him and wish that we had met him earlier in our trip!Written 24 September 2017
- Spenser B0 contributionsExcellentExtremely informative, Extremely professional. Best tour guide iv had!!! Went the extra mile! Would recommend to anybodyWritten 24 April 2017
- KiliGirl1230 contributionsAwesome TourAngel gave us a fabulous tour of the historical museum in Cartagena. What I especially liked was that he didn't just give the information that was posted on the walls but added lots of color. He was personable and really focused on giving us a wonderful experience. I would hire him again in a heart beat!Written 4 April 2017
- Keith S0 contributionsPerfect Custom TourFive of us arrived off the Zuiderdam with only five hours in Cartagena. We looked for a four hour tour that included historical highlights, a trip through the infamous Bazurto market, a walking tour of the old town, and a taste of the local food (Arepas, etc.). Angel put it all together for us (no other tour would venture into the Bazurto market). With a van and driver he met us at the docks and returned us right on time (all for 400US dollars). A truly memorable and well worth the price tour. Thanks Angel.Written 8 February 2017
- Rochelle2200 contributionsIf you speak English or Spanish and go to this Museum, you must see Angel -- excellent tour!Most of this museum (Inquisition Museum) is in Spanish and not translated into English. To get the most out of this fascinating historical place you want to see Angel. He is a very knowledgeable historian and speaks fluent English (and Spanish). Angel gave us an in depth overview of the 200 years of the Inquisition and an overview of the Cartagena history. He also took us outside for an overview of the Bolivar Square with everyday Columbian life. Excellent - a must do! His tour is 40K pesos but we gave him 50K because he really excelled!!Written 8 February 2017
- Coachgew0 contributionsIf you go to this Museum, you must see AngelMost of this museum is not translated into English, so a guide is essential. We chose Angel because of his kind and knowledgeable demeanor, and it was the right choice. After giving us a very thoughtful and candid tour of this museum, especially an open eyed assessment about what was original to Colombia (very little) and what were actual recovered artifiacts, he took us outside for a tour of Bolivar Square, and a taste of everyday Colombian life. He asked for 40K pesos, but we paid him 50K because he so exceeded our expectations.Written 26 January 2017
- Ryan B0 contributionsBest part of the museum!Angel was a fantastic tour guide at the inquisition museum and a welcomed addition to understanding the museum, which was mostly in Spanish. Full of information and very friendly. One of the most knowledgeable historians we encountered in Colombia, but he was a little difficult to understand at times. He's a treasure of the museum and will enhance your experience for a bargain price!Written 14 December 2016

Angel showed us the neighborhoods and the city site. But above all, we were able to enter different buildings in order to better understand the architecture and history of Cartagena.
