First before I even met my tour guide Andrea, I was impressed by her level of service. She offered to pick me up from my hotel even though TripAdvisor was not able to accommodate that for me. Andrea was able to share a lot of information about the history of the Old City of Santa Marta. She explained the importance of the different cultural sites and how things have evolved with time. I was lucky enough to have Andrea as my guide on July 20th which is also Colombian Independence Day. In addition from visiting the different cultural sites I can tell you that Andrea is equally passionate about giving tours that are about nature and the beautiful scenery from the beaches, mountains, and beautiful sand dunes. Andrea knew of the best places to have lunch and also took me too a famous Soccer Statue titled “El Pibe” which was not part of the itinerary. I wish I had more time in Santa Marta because I would definitely do a different tour with Andrea as my guide. FYI Andrea is also a great photographer.Maravillosa experiencia, si quieres conocer o aprender sobre arquitectura este es el tour, si quieres conocer de historia este es el tour, si quieres conocer el afecto del samario este es el tour, si quieres conocer la magia de santa Marta este es el tour!!
