Free Walking Tour Cartagena

We had a group of 10 for the free walking tour at 9am. Gus was a great tour guide! He was honest about the merchants, engaging with the group, funny, and an overall pleasant person. We learned about the history of the city and received recommendations to check out as well. Give Gus a raise!! We tipped him well.

This tour was SO GOOD. Gus is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the city but is also hilarious and fun to hang out with for a couple hours :) We learned so much that gave context to everything we are seeing around Cartagena. He encouraged questions and always found good shady spots for us to stop and talk. He also recommended a great restaurant for us to eat at after and gave us a rundown of what prices are reasonable for common items sold by street vendors here. Highlight of my stay so far!

Great tour of the city. Gustavo was our guide, friendly and funny with a good amount of knowledge. We took the Spanish tour and he was easy to understand. Tour took almost 2 hrs and came with a suggested donation of 30.000 COP. Well worth it.

The free walking tour was a great was to explore a part of Cartagena and learn about the history. The company was very easy to communicate with through Whatsapp. Shout out to Gustavo for a pleasant private tour! Definitely would recommend :)

Gus our guide had a lot of knowledge and was friendly, he even spoke a few word of French which was a nice attention for us. The tour itself was really interesting. I’d recommend if you have a few hours to spare in Cartagena. It’s free but you got to leave tip.

We were a little apprehensive on what the tour would be like as never been to Columbia before but as soon as we saw Gustavo we could see what a pleasant young man he was. He gave us a very informative, animated and amusing tour. We also love meeting the story behind the locals we meet . Gustavo had such great interpersonal skills we assumed he was born into a privileged family. Not so. he has obviously worked hard, completing a history degree and wants to have a career in tourism. Heartwarming to see a young man with ambition and his mum and grandmother must be very proud of him. The only tip I would give the company is to tell customers on booking they should only pay $10.00 for a taxi ride from the cruise ship and have the right money as they don’t have change (Gustavo told us after we paid $25.00) and that the square to meet is through the yellow clock tower as when we first arrived it was a bit bewildering as you do get hassled by others in the town and not speaking the language difficult to get directions. Thank you for a great tour and woukd have tipped more than the $40.00 had we not paid so much for a taxi!

Very informative and amusing tour. Our guide provided us with very detailed history of Cartagena. We were also impressed with his memory of the names of those in our group; there were around 14 of us total. I highly recommend taking this tour!

Gus took us for a two hour walking tour of Cartagena and really brought the old town to life for us. He is super friendly, super knowledgable and has great English. He paints a picture of the historic sights and provides interesting insights that keep you enjoying the tour until the very end. Highly recommend.
