Cesar was great at explaining the historical background of Cartagena. I wish that the photos that were taken were Included with the price. Another then at it was great.
The tour was excellent!! I really appreciated having an English speaking guide. We got to learn many interesting facts that we never knew about the city. The picture that was taken at the shoe and at the beginning of the castle tour was a plus they were beautiful pictures and it was a nice surprise to have them printed we bought all three of them! Our guide was kind, funny and caring. I would highly recommend this tour! It was a great experience
