Roosevelt is the best

Published on Feb, 2025

It was a great experience. Roosevelt was our tour guide and we also had a driver. if you saw the traffic you would know why we needed both. Roosevelt asked what we wanted most from this tour which was historical, scenic and how the people of Cartagena live . He took us everywhere and talked with pride about his country and explained his culture. It was a very personalized tour and so well worth it. We were able to go around traffic and go to places tour buses couldn't get to and Roosevelt knew everyone so we were able to be let through at historical sights, get discounts at stores and meet people he was acquainted with throughout the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our day on Cartagena with Roosevelt and would recommend to anybody to hire him for your tour

Off the beaten track

Published on Feb, 2025

My wife and I asked Ceasar for an off the usual tourist track tour of Cartagena and Felipe delivered. In what was possible in half day, we experienced a bit of each of the various cultural stratas starting from the barrios on up, including visiting one of the schools that Shakira sponsors for underprivileged kids. We were guided through the labyrinth of the huge city market. We discussed more serious social issues having to do with the effects of civil strife. We talked with street artists. We were exposed to the many blends of music that Cartagena offers. All was done with grace, honesty, and some humour as well. Highly recommended.

Private Half Day City Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

We were in Cartagena, Columbia on a cruise. We wanted to see some of Columbia, but were not sure how to tackle the busy city on our own. We also didn’t want to be herded around like cattle on a big group tour and wanted some control on how much time we spent at places. This private half day city tour through Peace Travel Columbia was a great way to go. Our guide, Cesar, did his best to keep us away from the crowds, which we specifically asked for. He also allowed time for shopping, but since we didn’t want to shop, we kept moving. Had we been on a group tour we wouldn’t have had that option. He had us back to the ship in plenty of time. Cesar definitely has a love of his city and his family. For us, this private tour was the way to go.
