Hello! I'm Yube I must say about me, that I love being a tour guide, it has been an encounter with that something that my life lacked, because after so long I discovered what this work completes my life; is that it has all the ingredients that I love to do, meet people from different places in the world, teach about my country, see those faces of tourists excited about our landscapes and our culture. For me, it is my ideal job because it makes me happy is reflected and spread. I am a legally authorized tour guide with RNT 84209, you can check at https://bit.ly/3ngEsz3

Tour description

Walking in the past is a city tour focused on learning the history of the oldest city in Colombia: "SANTA MARTA"; which developed between the Sierra Nevada and the sea, told through its old buildings, such as: 

1) The Tayrona Gold Museum, which collects much of the indigenous history and shows us the cultural heritage of this region. You will love my story

2) We also know the ancient and beautiful Cathedral of Santa Marta, where the remains of the founder of this city, Rodrigo de Bastidas, are preserved. 

3) The old seminary of San Juan Nepomuceno, today the Museum of Art; and other houses of famous people of the colonial era. 

4) We will take a walk through "el callejón del correo" and through the "parque de los novios", where locals and foreigners meet to enjoy the best restaurants, clothing stores, crafts and other places of entertainment. We want the traveler to fall in love with this city as we fell in love with it through its history and art. 

The most important thing is that you feel surrounded by friends and enjoy what I have prepared for you. I can also help you with all kinds of information about the most convenient places to visit and know, where to eat deliciously, have ice cream or enjoy the best coffee; as well as recommending other unforgettable routes and places in the city of Santa Marta. 

"Don't miss my guruwalk, you won't regret it."

Thank you very much Yube! The tour ended up solo as the other participants couldn’t make it and Yube was more than happy to still take me. Learnt a lot through the gold museum, more than if I I visited alone. We grabbed a local beer together and she talked about the architecture and the history behind the differences. Also shown some good hot spots. Would recommend!

This was easily one of the best tours we have taken in Colombia. Yube is knowledgable, *very* friendly, and passionate about her work. We really enjoyed spending the morning with her; learning about the history, culture, and architecture in Santa Marta; and getting recommendations for other things to do while in town. The experience was so delightful that we immediately booked a second tour with Yube!
