Acerca de esta actividad
Cartagena es una importante ciudad histórica, ya que su puerto marca el antiguo punto de entrada de los conquistadores españoles a América del Sur. Sus fortificaciones, construidas para protegerse de la invasión, siguen resistiendo en pie en la ciudad amurallada de hoy en día. La arquitectura colonial que puede verse en las casas, los edificios gubernamentales y las iglesias contribuyó a la designación como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO de la ciudad en 1984. En su visita guiada, aprenderá todo lo que hay que saber sobre las personalidades de la política, las artes y la música que habitaban la zona, así como la fascinante cultura e historia de la ciudad.

La excursión incluye una visita guiada a tres de los lugares históricos más notables de Cartagena. Primero visitará el Castillo de San Felipe, escenario de muchas batallas entre españoles, ingleses y franceses. En la actualidad, su impresionante estructura es solo uno de los muchos lugares declarados Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO de Cartagena.

Seguirá hasta la iglesia de San Pedro Claver, uno de los monumentos más visitados. Hogar de un sacerdote que ayudaba a los esclavos hambrientos y enfermos que llegaban al puerto de Cartagena, este monasterio tiene un valor sentimental especial para los descendientes de los afroamericanos de Colombia. Conozca la historia de los 300 000 esclavos que se calcula que salvó San Pedro Claver.

Su tercera parada es la visita al Museo de la Inquisición (si hay tiempo), donde se familiarizará un poco más con el pasado sangriento de Cartagena. Aprenda sobre la Inquisición en Cartagena en el siglo XVII y escuche las explicaciones del guía experto sobre los procesos y las víctimas.

Además, visitará el Museo de Oro, que cuenta con una vasta colección de oro de todo el país.

My guide Carlos (Charles) was friendly, knowledgeable, and considerate. As we rode between sites he told about events that occurred along the route, and Milna (?) would slow down or stop as was appropriate, they worked together very well. At the sites where we stopped he was never hurried, Vern informed, and always answered any questions. Even though this was not my first visit to Cartagena, he pointed out countless things I had not noticed before. A very relaxed tour. He even offered to help me plan another excursion!

Billy was extremely friendly, informative, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, even though I'm sure he's given this tour many times, he made my wife and I feel special. I felt like I was touring Cartagena with a friend. Fantastic experience.

This was a great tour, our tour guide Martin was very knowledgeable and gave us a fascinating history of the city. Only recommendation would be to possibly go to the fortress later on in the afternoon when it gets cooler. Otherwise it was a fantastic tomorrow with lots of different activities and stops. Highly recommend it specially at beginning of your trip

Our guide was William, an 83-year old veteran of the Cartagen touring scene. We boarded the tour agency car with Simon, the driver and travelled to San Felipe de Barajas Fortress. William showed us the tunnels built under the fortress to confound invaders just in case they overpowered the fortress. He also impressed on us the genius of the fortress design. Then we drove to the highest point in the city, Candelaria Convent at La Popa hill. We did the peninsula and the Bocagrande beach with the high-rise hotels and condos. Then to the walled city for the Santo Domingo square with the church and the Botero and the Simon Bolivar square with the Inquisition building and museum of gold. The only thing in the itinerary we missed was the Claver Church but William did go into an explanation of Claver so that was sufficient. There were a number of things William wanted to show us that werent really in the published itinerary, like the UNESCO heritage-tagged private homeson Manga island. the street art inside the walled city, the inside of the Heredia Theater, and the Claustro dela Merced where Gabriel Garcia Marquez ashes are buried. William was very quick to volunteer taking our pictures. Not only that, he knew what angles were best and would often do three to four shots of us at different angles at the same site. But his hands were a bit shaky after all, he was already 83. He seemed to know everyone in the city. For example, the theater was officially closed but he talked to the guard, slipped him a small note, and we were allowed in. Not only that but the guard even put up the lights inside the theater so we could enjoy its magnificence. He was quick to help us in negotiating for a good price whether it was t-shirts, local art-handicraft, fruits. I mentioned to William that my wife wanted to check out emeralds and William promptly had the driver bring us to the Joyeria Caribe emerald museum. It was an interesting place with arguably the widest selection of emeralds. It took an hour before she could buy her earrings and William patiently waited for us which meant adding another hour to the total tour time. But William didnt mind. We loved William and his grandfatherly style. But he could climb up and down and walk with the best of them. His English was occasionally hard to understand but it didnt detract from our positive experience with him. Hats off!
