Julie was an excellent...

Published on Jan, 2025

Julie was an excellent tour guide. We had a private tour and she took us to all the highlights of the city. She was very informative while we were driving around. We had a great time. I would highly recommend her.

Historical Cartagena with Julia

Published on Jan, 2025

Julia was an excellent guide through our journey of historical Cartagena. Our journey began with prompt pickup right outside the port and then ascended to La Popa Monastery for an aerial view of Cartagena. Julia was very knowledgeable about the monastery, the history and traditions and answered many random Colombia questions we threw at her. Next we travelled to Castillo de San Felipe where Julia once again proved her historical knowledge and provided great insight on old fort. Finally we travelled to the old wall section of town where we were able to see to Colonial architecture and Julia once again provided great insights. Definitely recommend her tour and look forward to going back and seeing her again!

Learning about Cartegena

Published on Dec, 2024

Julie made our entire day enriching and informative. We became familiar with Cartegena in a personal way that we would otherwise have missed out on. It was the best way to learn the city and appreciate the rich culture. Julie was friendly and terrific !!

Catrta historical tour with Julie

Published on Jun, 2024

Julie was awesome. She had the perfect blend of history, local customs/culture and contacts. She was flexible and focused on what we wanted instead of a formal itinerary. Wish i could give her a six!

Touring with Julie was exceptional

Published on Feb, 2023

My wife and I had an exceptional historical tour of Cartagena with Julie. She is a wonderful person, who knows all about Cartagena and it’s history. We were picked up promptly at our hotel at 9 AM in a private car with Julie. Fernando was our driver. Our first stop, was the monastery on top of a hill that overlooks all of Cartagena. The views were astonishing. She reviewed the history of this 400 year, old monastery, and an overview of the history of Cartagena and Columbia. The next stop was the fortress. She gave the history of the fortress and some of the many battles that occurred in this area. The next part of the tour was walking around Getsemani. This area is beautiful and has beautiful murals and paintings on the walls and alleyways. We made a few stops at street food vendors. All of them were amazingly good. My favorites were the grilled chorizo, sausage and beer, and the fresh made ceviche. Delicious!!! The next top was old city, or the walled city. Julie is well known in Cartagena. She explained the historical spots and we chatted with street vendors and artists. We went to many of the town squares and even took a picture with Monumento a Gertrude. We also made a stop at “Emerald King” jewelry shop. We actually bought some beautiful jewelry at a fantastic price. Julie made many recommendations on places to eat and places to see on our trip. We actually stopped and made a dinner reservation for Tuesday night at a very nice restaurant. Julie provided a lot of insight on safety in the city and how to deal with the street vendors. (I feel very safe and in Cartagena) At the end of the tour, Julie had Fernando picked us up, and he drove us back to our hotel. This was the perfect tour for Doreen and I on our second day in Cartagena. I highly recommend this trip for everybody. Enjoy!!!
