I was born and raised in Cartagena. About 14 years ago, I became a tour guide after discovering the rich and fascinating history of my town. I felt a strong desire to share the stories of our native people and the historical events that shaped our city. Visitors were eager to learn about the roots and background of Cartagena, and I realized I could be an excellent guide, driven by my passion for history. Learning about Cartagena's past made me fall in love with my hometown all over again, and today, I am proud to have been born in such a remarkable place. I invite you to explore the many wonders of Cartagena, from its history and culture to its arts and folklore. I offer various tour options, including private city tours, walking tours, and museum tours. This is your opportunity to discover the true history of Cartagena. I’m a certified tour guide by Colombian government Professional Id Card #903 Approved by the colombian Ministry
