Free walking tours in Santa Marta

Milthon fue fenomenal! Muchísimo conocimiento y salí del tour sabiendo de toda historia de Santa Marta! Me ha encantado ese recorrido.

Javier was marvellous! Knowledgeable and attentive! He explained well the history of Santa Marta and of the indigenous communities living in it’s region

Ha sido un tour apasionante de la historia de Santa Marta y Colombia. Totalmente recomendado. El entusiasmo y pasión de Martín por el conocimiento y la historia se contagia desde el primer momento. Te hace partícipe y te involucra en el recorrido de las distintas poblaciones e imperios en la región.

Nice visit, recommend it !

Excelente Gurú. Se nota que le agrada lo que hace. Se nota que ha estudiado y se ha preparado para esta tarea...xomo debe ser. Felicitaciones.

Felipe era muy amable y gracioso.. Nos gusto el tour con el

Had a great tour with Javier, really interesting and nice to end trying local fruits! Thanks again :))

We did a 2-hours walking tour in Santa Marta on 2. April. Javier was a wonderful tour guide. He covered Santa Marta‘s history, (food) culture, architecture, traditions and a lot more. He was incredibly knowledgable and made the history come alive by telling a lot of entertaining anecdotes. And he was great with our three children. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting! 5 stars!!

Had a great time with Javier, especially leading some of the indigenous history, the local favourite foods and places to go. Highly recommend if you want to explore Santa Marta with a local guide for a few hours.

Increíble tour. Nos hizo un clima maravilloso. Bello atardecer. Juanpi un sol. 100/10

Javier was truly exceptional! I really enjoyed this tour and all the different elements he incorporated from the history, modern times and even the fruit tasting at the end. He was extremely professional and so great at answering questions and being personable. You will not regret booking with him!

Milthon tiene una narración cautivante y un conocimiento profundo de la historia de Santa Marta, lo recomiendo!

Javier was an AMAZING guide. I've been on over 10 free walking tours in multiple countries, and this was easily one of the top two tours. Javier shared interesting and illuminating information about the city and region, introduced us to local vendors and products, and gave us recommendations for what to do for the rest of the stay. Also, his English is great. Would 1000% recommend to anyone visiting Santa Marta.

Very amazing tour guide, super educational and showed us some of the best local places. Also helped us afterwards when we had a wifi issue at our airbnb Highly recommended

Javier was amazing! The best guide I’ve had so far, the best tour also!

I had such a great experience exploring Santa Marta with Javier this morning. The tour was incredibly diverse - from the Museo del Oro Tairona to the cathedral, hidden streets, local squares, and the Malecón - and it gave me a rich, layered understanding of the city in a relatively short time. What stood out most to me is that Javier doesn’t just share information - he truly brings the city to life. His knowledge goes far beyond facts; he weaves together history, culture, daily life, and storytelling in a way that makes everything feel vivid and meaningful. You don’t feel like you’re just “listening to a guide,” you feel immersed in the rhythm and soul of Santa Marta. He is also a natural facilitator and entertainer. The flow of the tour felt effortless, engaging, and well-paced. There was space to ask questions, reflect, and simply enjoy being there - whether we were learning about the Tairona history, discussing local life in Plaza San Francisco, or tasting fruits at the juice spot. I walked away not only with more knowledge, but with a genuine feeling for the city - and that’s rare. If you want more than just a standard tour, and actually want to feel, understand, and experience Santa Marta, I highly recommend going with Javier.

Enrique desprende una energía especial desde el minuto uno. Su forma de hablar, su cercanía y cómo transmite el amor que tiene por su tierra y su historia. Además nos ha recomendado muchos tips a tener en cuenta para movernos por la ciudad y al parque nacional Tayrona. Ah, y es un excelente fotografo! Gracias.

Highly recommended tour of Santa Marta! Stay for the sunset and the ceviche!

Very profesional and informative on all aspects of Santa Marta Food culture and history.

Fenomenal, muy profesional e Instructivo. No hemos divertido y hemos Aprendido todo sobre Santa Marta y su historia y presente

Javier is one of the best guides I’ve ever had, so knowledgeable and made it fun, really enjoyed the tour!
