The 14 Best Audio Tours in Colombia

1.Walled Cartagena: Group Tour with Live Audio System

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,019 reviews · 2 hours 40 minutes (approx.) · from $13Our pick

Review of Cartagena’s $13 Walled City walking tour, with 12 historic stops, live audio, guide tips, heat advice, and honest drawbacks.

“If you want to know what the significance of the building’s and area you’re looking at is, then this tour is perfect! Lots of history and facts are shared. One star less because it was a lot of standing and listening to long stories. It was hot, humid and sunny but our guide Kayla always found shade for us to stand in. It’s a lot of walking also. We truly enjoyed it, just be prepared for the long history lessons. If that’s not your thing, chose differently. The English was good once your ear adjusts to their accent.”
