FABULOUS Guide Who Made Day Tour Wonderful
Yuliana Guia was our tour guide for this experience. We absolutely loved her. Not only was she extremely nice and caring, she was also very well informed about the city and its history. She chose to make this a 7 am tour so we could "beat" the two cruise ships that were coming in that day. What a great decision! We were able to see everything we wanted without large crowds or too much heat. If you are looking for a wonderful guide and tour, we highly recommend Yuliana. A++++ all the way!!!!
Response from the operator: Good morning, we appreciate your opinion, we will communicate the guide, this helps us to be better every day, thank you

Worth the extra money compared to expensive cruise ship excursions
Walter's company is nothing less than first class. He provided a roomy new air conditioned vehicle (Ford Explorer). His father, Eddie, was our tour guide, and he provided information on Cartagena in excellent English. Our driver, Domingo, navigated through the crowded streets of the walled city giving us a birds eyed view without walking on the cobble stones in the heat. My wife had mobility issues, and another staff member, Belina (sp?) went back to the office to get a wheel chair before we departed for a wonder tour of this very interesting city. The ability to stop where we wanted for photos and wine & beer made our day truly memorable. We can't thank them enough.
Response from the operator: Good morning, we regret and apologize for what happened, we have taken measures so that it does not happen anymore thank you very much

Colorful Cartagena
My guide was knowledgeable and interesting. She molded the day to my personal wishes and gave me a beautiful insight into her colorful and historical city!
Response from the operator: Good morning, we appreciate your valuable feedback, it helps us to be better every day Thank you very much

Private Tour of Cartagena
Niko was our guide and he was excellent! He was very knowledgeable and his English was easy to understand. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and we felt like we really had a complete tutorial on Cartagena’s history by the end of the day. Our one disappointment was being taken to an expensive emerald jewelry store at the end of the tour where we were clearly expected to buy something. We had already been exposed to the aggressive street vendors but really didn’t expect the same thing from a private tour. I would recommend this tour but you should voice your desire to not be sold souvenirs at the outset.

Cartagena Deluxe for Cruises - Private City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Cartagena Deluxe for Cruises - Private City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $240 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cartagena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cartagena Deluxe for Cruises - Private City Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cartagena is not rushed.
Is Cartagena Deluxe for Cruises - Private City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cartagena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cartagena Deluxe for Cruises - Private City Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cartagena Deluxe for Cruises - Private City Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cartagena Deluxe for Cruises - Private City Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cartagena can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cartagena and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cartagena Deluxe for Cruises - Private City Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cartagena within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cartagena?
+
On Outty we rank every Cartagena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cartagena Antigua & Barrio Getsemani group with audio system, Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena, Cartagena VIP Boat Tour: Rosario Islands & Snorkel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cartagena?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cartagena?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
