Cartagena for First-Time Visitors: Storytelling Walking Tour

Make sense of Cartagena on your first visit with a 4-hour small-group walking tour through the Historic and leave with a digital guide to 100 handpicked local places for the rest of your stay.
Begin your tour in Cartagena’s Historic Center and set off on foot to explore some of the city’s most important and recognizable places, including the Clock Tower (Torre del Reloj), Plaza de los Coches, Plaza de la Aduana, Plaza de Bolívar, Plaza Santo Domingo, the San Pedro Claver area, the historic city walls, and Getsemaní. The exact route may be adjusted according to local conditions, weather, events, or access restrictions.

Throughout the walk, your professional local guide leads the experience in English or Spanish and shares cultural and historical storytelling about Cartagena. Learn about the city’s colonial past, its role as an important Caribbean port, its architecture, fortifications, traditions, food, neighborhoods, and the people who have shaped Cartagena over time.

During the tour, your guide shares recommendations about what to eat, where to have coffee or drinks, where to shop, which beaches to visit, and which tours and activities may be worth adding to a trip.

Receive a map of Cartagena’s Historic Center and a digital guide with 100 handpicked local recommendations, including restaurants, cafés, bars, beaches, clothing and swimwear stores, independent designers, handbags, jewelry shops, affordable souvenirs, tours, and activities.
