Overview of your Cartagena tour

This tour is suited for tourists who prefer not so lengthy tours, but rather a 2. 5-hour walking tour inside the beautiful, amazing and charming colonial walled town filled with a lot of incredible history, and iconic landmarks. It has been almost 500 years since Cartagena de Indias was founded, hence its historic and cultural heritage is worth learning. Its undeniable importance to humanity prompted UNESCO to declare this colonial city a world heritage site in 1984. Thus, visiting Cartagena is a must for all those people that cherish such features and others offered by this city interestingly dubbed as the "Jewel Of The Caribbean, The Magical City, The Little Stone Corral and The Heroic City". No wonder many famous films and documentaries have been shot here, among them "Romancing the stone" and Famous Colombian Nobel Laurate author Gabriel Garcia Marquez's book's story based movie "Love in time of Cholera", for instance.
