Cartagena Tour Reviews
Guest reviews from travelers on tours in and around Cartagena
Anonymous | Traveled in December
It would be good to spend less time driving but I can’t see a way around it.More time in Medellín would be nice.The hotel there was lovely but very out of the way.We arrived by 3 but did nothing that afternoon which was partly our fault.My preference if staying in that hotel would be for the guide to take us to the nearby subway station and suggest an interesting close neighborhood to go to for us to walk around and eat dinner.He did point out the station from the bus but in that concrete jungle all we were able to find was an uninteresting mall.We did a lot of interesting experiences but I would recommend that the botanical garden be included and skip the cooking class and shorten the coffee experience in the coffee region.
Mark | Traveled in November
Really enjoyed this holiday. Lots of variety. Organisation went very well. Tour leader Andres was excellent. Only issue was an incorrect itinerary - which states a visit to Pablo Escobar's house in Medellin, which never happened and local tour guide said was a joke. Explore leader said it couldn't be done. So I'm raising a complaint about this as it's clearly a real draw for Medellin
Niklas Schneid | Traveled in October
Another trip is coming to an end. Once again, I was able to enjoy an unforgettable time and get to know a country I'd never known before, but have now come to appreciate. TruTravels is also extremely fortunate to be able to regularly assemble such a great group. Isa always kept an eye on things and was always able to provide us with tips and tricks to ensure unforgettable experiences. Everything was excellently organized, and nothing stood in the way of a fantastic time. I'm delighted to have been part of this tour.
Benedikt Koch | Traveled in October
I had an incredible time on the 12-day Colombia tour! The itinerary was the perfect mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation. Our tour guide Isa was absolutely amazing – super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip even more special. My favorite part was definitely Isla Grande – such a beautiful, peaceful island with the best vibes. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience Colombia!
Fabian Daun | Traveled in October
The 12-day Colombia Uncovered tour was an incredible experience that I would highly recommend. The itinerary was perfectly planned, offering a great mix of cities, jungle, and beach time. All the included activities were fantastic. I especially enjoyed the water-based adventures; the Tubing down the river was a really fun and relaxing way to see the scenery, and the Snorkelling was superb—the water was beautiful and full of life. The biggest praise, however, must go to our tour guide, Isa. She made the trip truly special. Isa has a wonderfully fun and witty personality and kept the atmosphere light and enjoyable throughout the entire 12 days. Crucially, she was also perfectly organized and professional. Everything ran like clockwork, and she always had a solution for any minor issue. Beyond that, she was always attentive and had an open ear for everyone in the group, ensuring we all felt comfortable and included. A huge thank you to Isa for making this a seamless and memorable trip! Five stars.
Sebastian Blanke | Traveled in October
I couldn’t have imagined a better guide than Isa. She was part of the group, yet always took responsibility, organized everything, and made sure we felt safe and cared for at all times. We had so much fun together, and it was clear that she truly enjoyed it too. Thanks to her, I got a very positive and authentic impression of Colombia — its people, culture, and incredible energy.
