Free walking tours in Barranquilla

We had a wonderful evening tour of the Malecon with Anderson. He was very informative, friendly and fun to be with . I would highly recommend his tours . We will use him again for our next tour .

Una forma auténtica y diferente de conocer Barranquilla, superó totalmente mis expectativas. Desde el inicio se nota que Anderson es local y conoce la ciudad bien, no solo muestra los lugares, sino que cuenta historias, anécdotas y detalles que no encuentras por ahí en internet. El recorrido es muy agradable y tranquilo. Además, hay tiempo suficiente para fotos y para hacer preguntas. Lo que más me gustó fue el ambiente cálido y auténtico del Malecón pues no se siente como un tour “de memoria”, sino como caminar la ciudad con naturalidad.

Me gustó mucho el tour. Juan tiene una información bastante completa de la historia de Barranquilla, Colombia y sus alrededores. Es amable y hace el tour divertido con buena conversación y detalles interesantes de la ciudad. Si tienen la oportunidad de hacer este tour, se los recomiendo!

The tour was awesome. Juan, our guide, knows a lot about Barranquilla and also had some first-hand knowledge about the Carnaval, in which he participated himself. His English is good and it was super interesting listening to his stories. I really enjoyed the tour and would warmly recommend it to everyone! Thank you, Juan.

Juan was full of great information about Barranquilla. Loved learning about the home of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Joe Arroyo. As well learning about baseballs history in Barranquilla and where they play baseball with broomsticks and bottle caps in the street. Thanks Juan

The tour guide was incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic about the tour, we are very pleased with his knowledge and hospitality.

Ana is an amazing guide and made sure we had an enjoyable experience in Barranquilla! Her tour is very interesting, filled with personal anecdotes and friendly interactions with locals!! Thanks so much Ana!!!

Great tour! Highly recommended. Patient and knowledgeable tour guide. Fluency in Spanish is required!!!

This was a fantastic tour along the malecón in Barranquilla. Anderson was professional and communicated well before the tour to give me the exact location where to meet him. He was super nice and gave lots of interesting information about the different parts of the malecón and Barranquilla in general. He gave me recommendations of other places to visit in the city too. I 100% would recommend that you go on this tour if you want to learn more about the city and enjoy your time along the walk as well.

Super recomendado, con mucha información interesante

Es un gusto encontrar gente que trasmite con tan buena onda su pasión por Barranquilla, su carnaval y su historia. Me encantó Juan y el tour.

El enfoque discursivo del guía integra contexto histórico, datos facticos y una visión analítica necesaria. Lo disfruté y aprendí!

Hola Barranquilla es mucho más que el Malecón como dice Jhon y el conoce muchos detalles interesantes que cuenta con entusiasmo y alegría, mezcla historia y modernidad haciendolo entretenido y muy agradable, totalmente recomendado!!!!!

10 puntos para Juan, ameno y sin apuros

We recommend Juan, he is very passionate about the history of the city and its patrimony. He is very knowledgeable and would share you very interesting info and resources.

Demasiado recomendado este tour. La cantidad de conocimiento que tiene Juan es admirable. Te comparte fechas exactas, nombres, familias, escritores. Definitivamente una biblioteca viva de saber Barranquillero. Vale demasiado la pena tanto para turistas que no saben por dónde empezar a conocer la ciudad, tanto como para locales que vivan en la ciudad y se interesen por su historia y su cultura. El tour es un recorrido vivo desde el carnaval hasta la literatura. Demasiado recomendado este tour, gracias Juan.

Un excelente guía con gran conocimiento de Barranquilla. Nos gustó mucho.

Barranquilla sigue siendo una ciudad que no es tan turística, sin embargo, Juan hizo de nuestro recorrido por el barrio una experiencia increíble! Definitivamente lo recomiendo. Un chico sencillo, amable y muy atento. Un recorrido lleno de mucha historia, cultura y muchos datos curiosos. Si vienen a Barranquilla no duden en tomar el tour con el!

Very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Barranquilla and the Carnaval.

Our Guru was professional, he had a lot of knowledge of history , literature and his stories were fenomenal. He was passionate about all aspects of the tour. It was a pleasure to be around him. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in knowing Barranquilla and the route covered was fantastic. Can’t be more thankful and happy for this tour experience.

Juan is a very knowledgeable and personable guide! He made me feel very welcomed and went out his way to help me settle in Barranquilla. The tour was very interesting as well since he's a member of the local community and knows people well. Highly recommend

I booked this tour because it was my first time in Barranquilla, and I wanted to gain a solid understanding of the city, its history, and culture—and I definitely got that with Juan. First of all, he loves what he does. You’ll experience the best of Barranquilla from someone who truly lives the city and understands its culture. As you walk around, you’ll be greeting many people from the local cultural movement. I highly recommend this tour, whether you’re visiting Barranquilla or even if you’re a local—it’s a great way to spend an afternoon in the city. Thanks, Juan, for everything! I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.

Tour super interessante, lo consiglio davvero e complimenti a Juan che è super preparato

Juan fue excelente informando la historia detrás de cada lugar visitado. Tiene vasto conocimiento del pasado y presente de Barranquilla. Lo recomiendo 100%

Me encantó hacer una visita guiada por Barranquilla, ya que a pesar de ser una ciudad con muchos puntos turísticos llamativos, resulta imprescindible una buena explicación de su historia, cultura y carnaval. La visita con Juan es super recomendable ya que él mismo participa activamente en el carnaval de Barranquilla y en un grupo de cumbia, por lo que la supone un enriquecimiento de la visita promoviendo sus tradiciones y explicándonos de primera mano este gran evento.
