    1. Parque centenario

      Our guide will be waiting for you in Centennial Park and will identify you because you will be holding a yellow umbrella.

    2. The first stop is on Calle de la Sierpe, where you will find urban art that adorns Calle de la Sierpe, which has become one of the most popular streets in Cartagena. The graffiti that decorates the walls, doors and windows of this street are one of its great attractions, not only because of their creativity but also because of the different textures on which they are worked.

      20 minutes here

    3. The second stop is Calle San Juan. Named after Saint John the Baptist, it is one of the few places in Cartagena that retains its original name from the colonial era. Here you will find an impressive collection of mural paintings, along with a variety of delicious cafes and restaurants lining the street. While the restaurants and drinking establishments attract passersby with their welcoming atmosphere, the color palette of the surrounding artwork makes one feel as if they are floating in a river of ink...

      20 minutes here

    4. The third stop is El Callejón Ancho, located in the heart of Cartagena's Getsemaní neighborhood, a picturesque street adorned with colorful flags and murals. It offers a vibrant atmosphere with a variety of bars, restaurants and street food stalls.

      20 minutes here

    5. The fourth stop is the narrow alley that was renamed Calle de las Sombrillas, becoming Cartagena’s Instagrammable spot, designed specifically for taking pictures. A combination of hanging umbrellas, colorful houses, and street art makes it, without a doubt, one of the most picturesque places in the city, especially when it’s lit up at night.

      20 minutes here

    6. The fifth stop is the street of flip-flops. This place is named after the fact that it is said that during the colonial era, fishermen from Barú and Tierrabomba came to sell food like yuca and corn on one of the nearby bridges. Their women asked permission to make them a stew in a lot on this street. The men, who had been in the water all the time, left their flip-flops drying in the sun on the sidewalk while they sat down to eat.

      20 minutes here

    7. After this walking tour you will understand why they always say: “I love Gethsemane”. We will walk on the Walls and you will understand why it is called “The Arrabal de Gethsemane”. Here the tour will end.

    Old Town Tour, Vaults, San Diego and Getsemani: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.

    How much does Old Town Tour, Vaults, San Diego and Getsemani cost?

    +

    Prices start at $29 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 Old Town Tour, Vaults, San Diego and Getsemani take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Old Town Tour, Vaults, San Diego and Getsemani worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Old Town Tour, Vaults, San Diego and Getsemani?

    +

    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 Old Town Tour, Vaults, San Diego and Getsemani suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Old Town Tour, Vaults, San Diego and Getsemani?

    +

    Around 0 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Old Town Tour, Vaults, San Diego and Getsemani 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.
