When you go to Cartagena, make sure you book ALL of your excursions with Cartagena Caribbean Tours...QUE PARRANDA...WHAT FUN! If you're lucky to book with the owner, Cheo you will be treated to the ultimate VIP experience. He is so friendly & loving and will treat you like family. He has great passion for his country and knows all the best local spots. You will have an incredible experience in Cartagena with him I promise you this. My group specifically did the Walking & Food tasting tour with Cheo...it was so much fun to walk around the old city and hear the history (and Cheo's jokes). We were laughing the entire time. The street food was delicious. Cheo has good relationships with the vendors so we rarely had to wait on line at the popular spots. We also went to El Totumo Volcano to experience its natural mud bath. Cheo arranged for a private & safe VIP trip in a nice air conditioned charted van to the volcano which was 1 hour away. He was awesome to arrange a crew to hold our belongings and take our pictures so we can indulge in simply enjoying our experience. When I wanted to do a photo shoot for myself on the beautiful beach of Baru...Checo went above and beyond to make everything perfect even hiring a boat to take me to the private side. He is also a naturally talented photographer and help me captured beautiful pictures. I am grateful to now call Cheo a friend and can't wait to return to Cartagena to have more memorable experiences with him again. Please support his business and book your tours, excursions and transportation needs with Cheo & Cartagena Caribbean Tours!Pelo menos 3 dias para visitar completamente Cartagena a pé.
