We did not get to complete our tour in Cartagena. We went to the meeting point, and there was no one there. I even communicated with Viator the day before and no response. I have disputed this charge.

Our guide, Carmelo, was not qualified to lead this tour about Roman antiquities in Cartagena. He would stop at many buildings and structures unrelated to the cities Roman era and expound on them at length. The two important Roman excavation sites are the theatre and baths. He only thought his job was to let us look at them from the outside; erroneously contending over objections that inside entry was not included in our tour. We weren’t scheduled for a restroom stop until the presentation on Roman food and drink 2 hours into the tour. He attempted an unscheduled restroom stop at a small museum at a small Roman excavation site but a loud kerfuffle ensued with the guard when we headed to the restroom. We were forbidden to use the restrooms. When we finally made it to Maria’s Roman food and drink we had a very interesting presentation on Roman dining lifestyle. We also found out that our tour was to include Roman theatre entry and were offered the opportunity to backtrack and tour the theatre museum and excavation. We never determine if entry to the Roman baths was supposed to be part of our tour. All in all one of the worst tours I’ve experienced in 50 years of foreign travel.

This tour was the highlight of our brief cruise ship stopover in Cartagena. Before touring the Roman ruins, our guide, Juan, gave us a concise overview of Cartagena’s history that set the stage for what we were about to see. The ruins are as interesting as any we’ve seen elsewhere. Our guide conducted the tour at a good pace-neither too fast, nor too slow. He was easy to understand. And he patiently answered our questions and gave us enough time to take all the pictures we wanted. This was a good tour and worth the money.

Our guide was knowledgeable for what we could hear. If you weren't within 5 people of him you couldn't hear. Also competing with Spanish translator which was very distracting. We signed up for an English excursion. Guide shot off like a rocket and walked way too fast not knowing if everyone was following. Guide really had no awareness of the group and it's physical capabilities. Guide needs to get better at projecting and making sure entire group can hear him...even if he needs to repeat it. Example was on the bridge type thing in the Roman Theater. He explained to the people that could fit onto the bridge and then walked off. The rest of us didn't get anything there. He also needs some type of pole with identification along with Viator stickers. There were non excursion people that were tagging along.

Absolutely amazing experience. History and architecture plus tapas. What could be better. Engaging and informative

Robert_S

The tour sights were interesting and a valuable expeience. The wine and tapas were enjoyable. Our guise announced at the start of the tour, this was the 1st time he was giving the tour in English. Definately a minus.

Elizabeth_H

Roman theatre was awesome. Amazing to learn that it was only discovered a short while ago! Imagine what else is buried under the city!

Judy S

Our tour guide was very hard to understand. It was a small group which was great but not a very interesting tour. The tapas we had at the end were interesting…the sangria was amazing. We broke off from the group and made our way back to the ship. The Roman ruins were ok… I personally would have liked to see more of the “little Pompeii” ruins. Our tour guide spent a lot of time repeating herself…she did struggle for translating sometimes.

John_H

Bruno was great- building the story of Cartahegna step by step with a surprise stop off for tapas and refreshments at a local bar. Great excursion for small groups.
