After seeing so many positive reviews here, we decided to skip the pricier shore excursion offered by our cruise line and book a half-day tour with Claudia. Almost immediately we felt as if we'd been met at the gate by an old friend eager to show us her city. Claudia is personable and funny and well-informed on everything from current... More

Claudia was everything that you want a tour guide to be. She is completely knowledgeable about the city, is very well educated and a life long resident, fluent in English, full of intimate details about the people and place that you visit, has a tremendous sense of humor and a large array of funny and interesting stories, a large commodious...

In March, we visited Cartagena while on a Princess cruise. Since we had limited time to see such a major city, we booked a private tour with Claudia Vidal. She was well aware of our time constraints, and she tailored the tour to meet our interests. She was very accommodating, extremely knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. With respect to shopping: she... More

I booked Claudia for a tour of Cartagena during our port visit from a cruise ship. There were 10 people in our group. Claudia and her assistants met us with our name on a sign as soon as we exited the ship . We were led to a nicely air conditioned (very important! .. it was 90F and very very... More

We hurried off so fast into the ship, since my wife was not feeling too well, that we barely had time to thank Claudia, for such an amazing tour of this beautiful city. I thank Claudia from here and I highly recommend her. She, the driver, the van, tthe places we visited and that we looked at went far beyond... More

I arranged a private tour of Cartagena while visiting for the day on the Celebrity Equinox. After gathering a party of 11 for the tour, we were treated to a very comfortable day excursion, visiting many of the historical sights of the city. Claudia and her driver met us at the ship's disembarkation ramp and we were whisked away in... More

We were in Cartagena last month. It is certainly a beautiful and charming city. Its colonial area is the nicest part. We were really able to enjoy it and understand it mostly because of our guide, Claudia, who gave a great lecture on the history of the city with anecdotes and a good sense of humor. Don´t miss Cartagena and... More

We booked this tour looking for a taste of Cartagena. I was looking forward to going in the Inquisition Palace, as were others in our group but we just walked by it. I was disappointed that we were taken to an "Emerald Museum", which was really a ploy to sell you emeralds. Claudia is indeed knowledgable and friendly, but if... More

We were in Cartagena last January 23rd and decided to contact Claudia for a tour around the city. She was fantastic, very knowgeable and informative not only about the history and legends of the city, but told us everything about traditions, food, folklore, a really complete tour. I highly recommend her for a tour if you are planning to travel... More
