Tour description

You prefer to know new places on your own. Just let us walk you through the main sites and give you useful insights of the city so you can enjoy it more.

 

Meet new people and our guide at Plaza de la Aduna (Next to the Townhall) and let him show you what the Walled City and Getsemani have hidden away. This free walking tour in Cartagena is available in English and Spanish and you will find one of our guides holding the black umbrella at the meeting point. 

 

You will start strolling around the colonial and colorful houses as you know more about the main squares and bastions that traced our path to independence. Visit Santo Domingo’s square and church, the Cathedral of Santa Catalina de Alejandria (Saint Catherine of Alexandria) among others of great cultural importance.

 

Afterward, you will be headed to the Getsemani neighborhood, known for having a bohemian spirit. Its streets and alleys boast colors and the lively, friendly, and charismatic spirit of locals who gather outside their houses and welcome everyone who walks by. Stroll around picturesque pieces of street art paintings along some of the most important streets Calle de la Sierpe, Calle San Juan, Calle de la Media Luna, Calle Larga, among others. You’ll get to see some of the best graffiti authors.

 

Of course, this wouldn’t be the perfect tour without tasting Colombia’s flavors so you will have typical Colombian sweets and exotic fruit juice. 

 

We know you will end up wanting to discover more of Cartagena, our “heroic” city:  a city that welcomes everyone.

Great tour around the city. Learned a lot about this diverse city, even though it was too hot and humid to function

Diese Free Walking Tour fanden absolut schlecht. Unser Guide hat immer wieder telefoniert und auf der Strasse mit Bekannten gequatscht. Wir kamen uns vor wie auf einer Verkaufstour, gingen in einige Schmuckläden und wurden Strassenverkäufern vorgestellt. Der Informationsgehalt der Tour war bescheiden; viele Wiederholungen und Beschreibung von Gebäuden (was wir offensichtlich auch sehen können). Guide Edar leider für diesen Job nicht zu empfehlen. Zudem hat er auf den Minimumtipp bestanden, wir wollten diesmal weniger geben, da wir wirklich nicht zufrieden waren.

Hemos tenido a Katy en el tour de por la tarde (recomendable hacerlo por la tarde, porque hace menos calor y algo más de brisa) y todo ha ido fenomenal, ¡hemos terminado encantadas con nuestra guía! Muy recomendable preguntar por ella, ¡Gracias!

Jorge did a great job! It’s clear he has been doing this for years. Especially loved that he had visuals to show. First time I’ve had a tour guide with that. Very professional and well done.
