    Not a party bus but a poor attempt to be a night tour bus.

    There was no partying but a lot of sightseeing Choose English but the tour was in Spanish only, I'm not referring to the music but the tour guide. Also kids were on the bus, so there's no partying to do There are no steps to get into the bus and despite them having a step ladder, they consistently choose not to offer it my party, and made us climb into the bus, even though, they has the step ladder we could use. Because of this I was not able to actively engage in the rest stops we stopped at. Lastly, was advised the tour was 2 hours and we spent over 30 mins doing pickups and another 30 doing drop offs. We got picked up from the central meeting point first and instead of being the first to be dropped off back at the meeting point, we were the last to be dropped off. Also they kept driving us in circles unnecessarily.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review, usually our guides do a great job and this is why more than 100+ per week book this tour. However we will review what you stated here and make sure the process improve.

    Make Sure You Get the Right Driver & Guide

    Great concept. Can ebe a fun experience but our tour guide was not accommodating. I booked a tour with a bilingual guide who would share the instructions in Spanish and English. He di dnot and when I made a request, he chuckled and ignored me. It really took away from the experience. Additionally, the guide and bus driver made 2-3 additional random stops (not on the scheduled route of three). It also took away from the experience. The tour did not officially get started for 45 min after the start time. DIsappointing.

    Response from the operator: Hello Tracey, Thank you for your review. Sadly our official guide wasn't feeling good that night and we understand your frustation. For your next trip, make sure to reach us, we will have a courtesy ready for you. Kind regards,

    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!

    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 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 91 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?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Party Bus Tour?

    +

    Around 32 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 Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena, Cartagena Antigua & Barrio Getsemani group with audio system, 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.

    What is included in Party Bus Tour?

    +

    Included: All Fees and Taxes; and Host or Guide to Cheers up the Party!. Not included: Private transportation; On-board restrooms; On-board WiFi; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Party Bus Tour?

    +

    Pick up time for Bocagrande Area will start from 7:30 PM up to 8:00 PM depending on the hotel you are staying at; keep in mind pick up take place at the meeting points authorized by the local mayor. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Party Bus Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Party Bus Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Party Bus Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Party Bus Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
