Perfect

Nestor was amazing. Very educated, which made this experience so special. He is so engaging and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend this excursion. When we go back, I will make sure to contact Nestor again.

Essential Caragenia

momhanneman, Oct 2019

Nester was very knowledgeable and we could tell he was proud of Cartagena. Was a lot of walking so wear good shoes. Lot of cobblestone roads. Unfortunately it rained and we only got 3/4 of the tour.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Thanks for your comments, I know, the rain gave us an undesired stop for the tour. Getsemaní was going to be the last stop, sorry we couldn't make it. Please come back to enjoy more of my city.

A MUST DO TOUR!

David_M, Oct 2019

We had an amazing time and Hector was able to help us fit in all of the major landmarks we wanted to see. He went deep into Columbia history without making it boring. The city came alive. Be prepared with good walking shoes but it is worth it and was the highlight of our trip.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Alex thanks for your splendid review, I just give my best so tourists can enjoy and fall in love with Cartagena. My name is Néstor and it´s Colombia, not Columbia, and you guys are always welcome. :) :) :)

Easy going and informative tour

Javier_A, July 2019

Néstor was an amazing tour guide. He showed me around the city in a relaxed stroll around the historic center and Getsemani. He has a deep knowledge of the city's history and culture and a natural talent for storytelling, bringing the events that marked Cartagena to life. Since it was a private tour, he customized the route to my preferences, which was an added benefit. I can highly recommend Néstor for anyone wanting to have an authentic look into beautiful Cartagena and its fascinating past.

Response from Host, July 2019

Thanks for your kind review. Hope I can tell you again many stories that can't be told because in #Cartagena you always need more time to tell the infinite life and history of this beautiful port city.

Antigua ciudad amurallada

David_L, May 2019

Among the best tours & guides of my world travels. Nestor was an exceptional tour guide with extensive historical knowledge. His English was very good & he has an interesting background as well.

Response from Host, July 2019

Thanks on your review, I am really flattered as I know you are a world traveler. You just give me wings to keep on going. Thanks very much. Cordially Néstor.
