Tour description

Historical and complete walk in the San Felipe de Barajas Castle, knowing tunnels, batteries and galleries in the largest military work built by Spaniards in America, we begin the adventure with the story of Blas de Lezo and the last attack that Cartagena received at the hands of a privateer, then we enter (the entrance ticket is at the expense of each tourist) we begin a walk where we will go up to see every detail of the fort and who were the ones who worked on it, we will visit the master tunnel until we reach the lowest part of its tunnels, we will visit the flag area where the best photo of the city is sure to be taken with a very beautiful view. We will also have the opportunity to see a beautiful sunset and nightfall in Cartagena. I invite you to experience a totally different freetour.
Also complete data on the history of Cartagena and chronology of attacks perpetrated by Corsairs and pirates.

My tour was confirmed but the guide did not show up at the meeting point. I waited for 15 mins and then went on to visit the Castle on my own. I messaged the guide but no response
