4A Fun Way to get an overview of the city & learn its history
Okay let's get the critique out of the way......we should have had helmets as we were occasionally dodging Cartagena cars and pedestrians. Now the good stuff - our guide Jose was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We got to ride a section of wall and saw learned much about Cartagena history. We had already done a walking tour and yet we learned even more from Jose our guide. Pack (or buy) water which you can transport in the basket in front of the bike. Book this tour and enjoy!
5Great Tour!
Such a great tour. It was such a fun way to see the area. Daniel was awesome. Very informative and fun. Would definitely recommend. Herman was welcoming and extremely helpful as well. 5 star!!!
5Very chill tour inside...
Very chill tour inside the Centro historico. The guide is nice and will answer any questions. Be careful though, some streets are very busy and narrow.
5Great way to see the walled city
This was a great way to see the walled city. Our guide Jose and his assistant Herman were great. Jose is very knowledgeable and enjoyed telling us the history of Cartagena. Simply walking around on your own does not give you any understanding of when things were built or why. Having Jose as a guide provided us with so much of Cartagena’s rich history. They did a great job of maneuvering the streets and keeping us safe.
5Exploring Cartagena with Pedal Power
Bryan was very knowledgeable and personable. He is an incredibly friendly, talkative guide and very helpful to answer any history questions or regarding the city. Even when my brother had a flat, he called an employee to come exchange the bike so we didn’t have to ride back to the start. I highly recommend the tour for those interested in having a taste of Colombian food, drink, and culture with an engaging guide and means of transportation!
5The best value for bike ride
Our guide Daniel set a leisurely pace for the ride. We took many breaks to enjoy all the highlights the city offers. He was accompanied by Herman to ensure all bikes operated as planned. I highly recommend this tour.

About Cartagena
Cartagena, on Colombia's Caribbean coast, is a walled colonial port of flower-draped balconies, colourful plazas and warm, music-filled evenings.
The walled old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of cobbled streets and squares lined with pastel houses, churches and bougainvillea. The Clock Tower gate leads into Plaza de los Coches, and the cathedral, the Church of San Pedro Claver and the Palace of the Inquisition are all within a few blocks. Walking the thick ramparts at sunset is a local ritual.
Top-ranked sights in Cartagena: Rosario Islands (Islas del Rosario), Old Town Cartagena, Santo Domingo Church (Iglesia de Santo Domingo).
