False advertisement
It said it was all adults and that’s not true it was kids on there and the ride was less then 1 hours I really need a refund forreal
Response from the operator: Hello Kenyetta, thank you for your review. This is a very well known experience in the city where always involve kids, as long as they are with their parents, it is totally allowed by the Colombian laws. We will review the fact your mention about the duration of the experience, however as you can read the other 100+ reviews that is not something that usually happens, since it is form 2 to 2.5 hours duration which mostly vary depending on the traffic. We will be happy to meet you next time and the first round of drinks is on us in one of our bars. Kind regards,

Good vibes but needed more
The party Bus itself was life! My problem was that they ended our tour too soon. Admittedly, we were a few minutes late, but we definitely did not get the two hour that we paid for.. this is why I can’t give five stars. It is definitely a good time, especially if you’re with the right people.. some of the patrons just sat still, we also never got refreshments or drink drinks like they said there was going to be.
Response from the operator: We are happy you had fun! Hopefully next time you will be on time on the bus, we know it is not the tour that last the most, however it is always very fun. Cheers!

Short Time
The activity included four stops. Three at known iconic stops, but every stop was extremely quick. If you do not go to the club the activity is about 1.5 hour.
Response from the operator: Hello Wendy, thank you for your review. We understand it would be nicer to party longer however, between showing you some iconic stops and partying we do our best so people can enjoy the most possible. We hope you visit again.

The party bus was fun....
The party bus was fun. The issue was we missed the original one that we wanted to get on and ended up having to wait. Probably another hour for the next one, but everyone was very helpful and we did get to go to some good stops.
Response from the operator: Hello Steph, Thank you for you review! We encourage our customers to arrive on time since this is a shared experience and the bus must meet and pick up more people in different locations; for this reason if you arrive late you will be located in the next available bus. We will be happy to offer you a free drink the next time you visit the city and book with us. Cheers!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Party Bus Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Party Bus Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 Party Bus Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.2 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 Party Bus Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 88 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 Party Bus 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 Party Bus Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2.2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Party Bus Tour?
+
Around 31 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 2.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Party Bus 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 Street Food Tour: 10 Local Tastings in the Walled City, Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena, 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.
