1.City Sightseeing Cartagena Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour Shore Excursion

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 143 reviews · from $23Our pick

Cartagena hop-on hop-off bus review covering cruise-port transfers, 16 stops, attractions, timing, value, and practical booking advice.

“We had planned to take this excursion, but we met a couple on our ship who took it the day before. They had to take a taxi to the pickup location and NOT the Hop On/Hop Off bus next to the ship. While they requested an English tour, the tour was all in Spanish. They said all they experienced was terrible traffic and horns-honking. Surprisingly, they were delivered back to the port. We decided to just absorb the $30 cost for the two tickets and avoid the additional cost.”

Review of Cartagena’s private shore excursion, with San Felipe Castle, Las Bovedas, port pickup, guide tips, price, and practical advice.

“This tour was designed for travelers wanting a private tour. We planned out the sights we wanted to visit in a specified time frame. We were very pleased with the outcome. A guide greeted us at the dock and walked us to the waiting car and introduced us to our driver and guide. The itinerary was carried out just as we planned. We enjoyed major sights, walking in the city and shopping in the tourist area. The private guide was from the city and entertained us with information and stories. We were safely returned to our ship and recommend the tour to others.”
