Overview
This energetic tour combines the three most visited places in Cartagena. Join a guided tour of Cartagena and explore the city's history and culture. Visit the Castillo de San Felipe, the Walled City, and the Getsemani neighborhood.
Start your tour at the Port of Cartagena, where you will be picked up. Meet your guide and head to the Castillo de San Felipe, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most formidable fortresses built by the Spanish during colonial times.
Constructed in the 16th century, this fortress was designed to protect the city from pirate attacks and foreign invasions. As you explore its impressive walls, tunnels, and lookout points, learn about its strategic importance in defending Cartagena’s treasures. The tickets are included in the price of the tour.
Next, stroll through the Walled City, known as Ciudad Amurallada. This historic area is a colorful blend of colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and vibrant plazas. As you wander through its narrow alleys, encounter beautifully preserved buildings adorned with balconies overflowing with flowers.
Each corner reveals a piece of history, from grand churches like San Pedro Claver to charming squares where locals gather. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit artisan shops offering handmade crafts and souvenirs that reflect Cartagena’s rich cultural heritage. You will have 20 minutes for free shopping time.
Finally, head to Getsemani, a neighborhood that has evolved from a historic residential area to one of Cartagena’s most vibrant districts. Known for its artistic spirit and lively atmosphere, Getsemanà is filled with colorful murals created by local artists that tell stories of social struggles and cultural pride.
Explore its bustling streets lined with cafes, bars, and galleries that showcase contemporary Colombian art. You might even catch some live music or street performances that reflect the local culture.

Informative and enjoyable
Published on Jun, 2024
Our walking tour with Kayla was an incredible start to our trip. She was very well prepared for the tour and the experience was informative about not only the history of the five islands of Cartagena but also its current day and how its people are living today in a shifting landscape.
I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to both see the city and walk away more knowledgeable than you started.
