Free Walking Tour Cartagena
Guide services in English

Join us for a fun-filled walk to understand and to learn about the origins of the so-called “crown jewel of the coast”, the Caribbean storehouse for all the gold and other resources the conquerors stole from the continent.

On our walking tour, you’ll relive the battles and victories of the Europeans, the empowerment, and influence of Afro cultures, explore the narrow colorful colonial streets, see the contrast of antique-modern areas, and so much more! From its history, to its food and nightlife, to its beaches, Cartagena’s got it all.

Cartagena de Indias offers a fascinating journey through history and culture. From the panoramic views at the San Ignacio bastion viewpoint to the vibrant San Pedro Claver square with its sanctuary and monument, the city unfolds its captivating past. Explore the impact of the Spanish arrival and conquest, wander through the charming Carriage and Customs squares, and delve into the chilling history of the Inquisition Palace and its transformation. Discover the Clock Tower entrance, the heart of the walled city, and learn about the poignant legacy of African slavery and the resilient culture of San Basilio de Palenque. Finally, soak in the beauty of Santo Domingo square, adorned with a Botero sculpture, as you uncover the many other hidden gems this captivating city holds.
