    Carolina was an absolute blast to spend the day with! She kept the tour fun, engaging, and full of energy. I especially appreciated that she used a microphone, which made it easy for everyone in our group of nine to hear her commentary and stories. The pace of the tour was perfect, with plenty of opportunities to stop, take in the sights, and enjoy the local atmosphere....

    Caroline, gave us a great day . We saw the historical part of Cartagena in the morning and went to a fishing village for lunch and ate with the locals. In one day we saw both historical and modern Cartagena . More importantly than what we saw and experienced, Carolina was engaging, charming and a joy to be with. I recommend her without hesitation.

    Carolina showed us the major sites very well. She found us a shady cafe on the plaza and brought us empanadas for snack time. She adapted our tour to find a less steep path for some of our members who needed that. She has a lot of information to offer, so if you want a little less, you can say so. We visited the underwater archeology museum at the port on our own...
