Great tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Divian was a great guide and answered all my random and sometimes off topic questions. Had some random rain throughout the day so he made sure we got to all the places dry. Also very informative and kind.

Raphael Riviera Rocks the Castle and Convent Tour

Published on Aug, 2024

A Cartegena "high"-light! Raphael & this half day tour elevated not only my feet to the highest spot in the city with spectacular views, but also elevated my knowledge of Colombia and Cartegena's past history and present story! The personal touches along with the A/C shuttle-bus ride and extra stops surely make this worth your time and pesos.

Great Tour Experience whether solo or group

Published on Aug, 2024

This was a great tour. Our tour girl Cielo (Sky) was fabulous. She was great at what she does. Took plenty of pictures for me to have memories. There is a lot of walking at the Castillo Felipe Fortess so wear comfortable shoes. Hills, stairs and tunnels to travel thru but it definitely was exciting to see and hearing the history about the fortress. It did start raining when we got there, Sky gave us rain gear. Rain didn’t last long at all maybe 5 minutes. Cerro de la Poppa was fabulous. The view of the city is absolutely gorgeous. Only thing is the vendors are aggressive. It’s best not to even look there way unless you want to be harassed long time. Just keep moving that’s best. Say nothing. Not even no thank you. Overall I give this trip a 10/10 I was solo and got exactly what I wanted from this tour.
