Private Tour of Cartagena & Getsemani

Explore the Walled City of Cartagena and the neighborhood of Getsemani on a private tour. Travel through Colombia's history as your guide takes you through the city's historic center. Savor Colombian staples with a tasting of traditional snacks in the hip Getsemani barrio. Begin your tour in Plaza de Bolívar, also known as Peace Square, by the clock tower, then travel back in time as you visit the Walled City of Cartegena's historic spots and attractions. Visit San Pedro Claver Square and see the walls and bastions bordering the sea. Hear how these fortifications were important in the 16th and 17th-centuries in defending the territory from enemy troops. While at the square, also admire San Pedro Claver Church and its Spanish Colonial architecture. Stroll through the narrow streets with their colorful old colonial houses, and try some local Caribbean Colombian specialties like arepa with egg (a fried corn-based tortilla with an egg inside) and raspa (a cup of shaved ice with a fruity syrup). Finally, visit the Getsemani barrio and marvel at its colorful streets where families have lived in the same Spanish colonial homes for multiple generations. Explore the many street blocks filled with magnificent street art. You’ll hear laughter and music throughout the streets. You’re also likely to hear champeta, which is a type of local folk music with Afro-Caribbean roots. Visit favorite local culinary haunts like La Cocina de Pepina to try traditional Colombian foods like ceviche, soups, empanadas, stuffed peppers, plantains, coconut rice, and more.
