About this experience

Why choose your Cartagena bike tour

Fun and different way of touring the city: it is not the same walking in the sun or seeing it by car; on bike you discover more corners and enjoy the local atmosphere.

Authentic local guide: not only do you tell the official story, you also share anecdotes, curiosities and secrets of the city.

Complete and varied route: combine the colonial (walls, vaults, San Diego, Santo Domingo) with the popular and authentic (Getsemaní).

Contact with living culture : not only monuments are seen, but also urban art, music and Carthaginian traditions.

Close and personalized experience: small groups, with photo stops, rest and time to appreciate each place.

Cartagena from another perspective: more than a tour, it is to feel the city as a local and take stories that are not in the books.
