Overview

The best introductory tour to Cartagena: the Walled City, Unesco World Heritage and a magical city, with legends and beauty inside the old colonial stone wall. Join this fun-filled tour to understand and learn about the origins of the so-called "jewel in the crown of the coast". On our walking tour, you will relive the battles and victories of the Europeans, the empowerment and influence of Afro cultures, you will explore the narrow colorful colonial streets, you will see the contrast of old and modern areas. This Tour is part of a shared experience called "Free Walking Tour" and the value you just paid through Viator is the same suggested tip per person for the guide's work. This amount that you already paid in advance will go directly to your guide (minus the commission). In this way, at the end of the Tour, the guide will not ask you for any extra contribution. We hope you have fun and learn with us!
