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.
