Andrea was great fun to be with,
We went next to theccathedral, where some street dancers were dancing, which we liked a lot, then to a famous rooftop and then to a recomended gourmet restaurant, Ana. The ambient was beautifully decorated, with live music, and not too crowded. The food was gourmet, but not well balanced and overcomplicated. It was not of our taste.

Wendy is the best!
Wendy did an amazing job showing us around! She is super knowledgeable, speaks perfect English, and was wonderful with our 7 and 9 year old children. I would highly recommend. Not only did we learn a lot but we had fun!

Wonderful tour with Andrea
We try to set up a tour everywhere we travel to get a sense of the city we are visiting. We were fortunate to book Andrea to share the culture, the highlights and favorite spots of Cartagena. She was so patient in answering all of our questions regarding the history of Colombia, the city of Cartagena and the everyday lives of Colombians. I wished we could have booked Andrea the next day for the food tour but unfortunately was not feeling well. Andrea has so much to offer! You will not go wrong booking her tour to explore this beautiful city.
