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.

An Amazing Day in Cartegena
We had a great time with Andrea as our guide. She patiently waited for us and we ran into some obstacles getting to the meeting location. She was very knowledgeable and took us to a number of locations we would have never found on our own.
We sampled street food and had delish coffee. She showed us beautiful streets and took us to some great shopping.
She was patient and kind (we take a lot of pictures). We plan to come back to this beautiful city.

Great overview of the historic center
Andrea was very flexible in coordinating our tour. We got a great overview of the city, saw sloths up close and learned some history. Really nice way to get a flavor of Cartagena.
