My tour was lead by Carlos and he's amazing, knowledgeable and speaks damn near perfect English. Carlos organized the tour in a systematic and efficient way to complete a loop passing all the great things with a start and stop at the hotel. The level of knowledge to explain the food/city/cultural history and significance was beyond reproach. At each stop new information in a easily digestible manner was provided. When I come back to Barranquilla...I'll book the same tour with Carlos and would expect to have totally different experiences.
