The 15 Best Cartagena Walled City & Getsemaní Walking Tours

16 reviewed

Inside the walls, Cartagena is eleven kilometres of coral-stone rampart, a hill convent over the bay and a grid of balconies that repays a guide who can date them. Getsemaní next door is louder and younger. The walking tours below are set side by side: which cover San Felipe castle, which stay inside the walls, which run at dusk when the stone finally cools, plus prices and durations.

Everything was in working order the music was awesome and the ride was calm and relaxing. We got amazing photos by the photographer which were fairly priced. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to actually enjoy an evening on the water. The price is more than worth the experience!”

“We visited Cartagena using Noriega Tours, for a private tour, and would definitely recommend them to anyone. We communicated with them via text and email and knew they were going to be there to meet us. Just outside the port welcome center, we were met by our guide, Adalberto Gonzalez Ortiz who was a GREAT host and provided an interesting and informative experience. Our driver, Nelson Noviega, was friendly and helpful - and most importantly ON TIME coming and going. Both Nelson & Adalberto spoke very good English which was great. It is well worth taking the private tour - we moved at our own pace - saw things without…”

Also passed by Getsemani and it was beautiful and colorful. I recommend Fabian being your tour guide as he will go above and beyond (knows and explains a lot of history).”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 81 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $60

3-hour Bazurto Public Market tour with a bilingual guide, public transit, native fruit tastings, and lunch at a local home.

“Daniella was our guide and she was wonderful. She is well versed in the market and its history. Not to mention, she navigates the market like a pro! Many times I thought we were in a never ending cycle of stalls but she knew exactly where we were. This tour's main focus is the food but the market itself is a sampling of so much more the area has to offer from music and culture. Highly recommend. We sampled some native fruits as well as had a meal at Cecilia's.”
