Don’t book this tour. The company, This Is Cartagena, doesn’t work with TripAdvisor anymore. If you do book, you’ll be stood up and receive zero communication and have to request a refund. DO NOT BOOK THIS.

We booked the three hour walking tour of the Centro Historico with "This is Cartagena." Our guide was Ronald Monsalve and we just loved him! He was knowledgeable about the history of Cartagena, flexible about our desire to visit several shops, and acted as our official translator. Best of all, he was SO MUCH FUN! We very much enjoyed the time we spent with him and would hire him again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend both the company and Ronald.
