Tour through Cartagena with all his beautiful sites
Best tour-guide ever! I had a private tour and it was awesome. He was so passionate about the city that I felt like being part of it. I can really recommend this tour :)
Response from the operator: It was a great pleasure for me to be able to accompany you during that long tour. I also learned about your culture and what you're doing now. This was a good conversation and that is very valuable. I hope you can soon return to Cartagena and other places in Colombia that I can recommend. Thank you for everything and keep enjoying your trips.

Good experience
Since Trip Advisor is saying I can't use your name. I'm just say the tour guide was very patient, professional & knowledgeable. I had a wonderful time. Eating street food, drinking coffee & going 2 the Emerald Museum. I just recently broke my ankle and he was very patient and took special time with me. Well worth the money. Thank u for a wonderful time
Response from the operator: Hello, thank you, it was a pleasure for me to be the person who accompanied you to see good places in Cartagena, but even more so, show them the love with which we do our work. I hope that everything went well for the rest of your time in my country. I hope to see you soon and recommend more places and that you enjoy Cartagena more.

I took a tour with Keke, and it was absolutely worth every moment and penny. His passion, adventurous spirit, and genuine joy made the experience truly unforgettable.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cartagena Streets and Appointments Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Cartagena Streets and Appointments Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Streets and Appointments Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Streets and Appointments Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 30 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 Streets and Appointments 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 Streets and Appointments Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cartagena Streets and Appointments Tour?
+
Around 11 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cartagena Streets and Appointments 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 Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena, Cartagena VIP Boat Tour: Rosario Islands & Snorkel, Cartagena Cooking Class with Local Chef (Small Group Experience). 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.
