Highly recommended! The ride on these new bikes with DJI Osmo Mobile stabilizers was something innovative and one that allows to take a valuable memory. The attendees were very friendly, patient, and informative. This bike ride gives the opportunity to have various perspectives of El Centro and the Getsemani neighborhood. Walls, parks, graffiti art and picturesque streets are some of the attractions that you will be able to capture directly on your cell phone using the gimbals. Definitely one of the best experiences that I and my family have had.mischa511

I never would have imagined that this experience would be so informative and delicious! I was able to visit places little visited by tourists, starting with the beautiful Bahia de Cartagena where I took beautiful photos, the mythical Getsemani neighborhood, and the incredible and delicious Cecilia Restaurant in the Bazurto Market. I understand now why Anthony Bourdain selected the Bazurto Market, especially the Cecilia Restaurant, in his search for true Cartagena food. This experience is highly recommended by me who is adventurous and versatile when it comes to exploring and eating.ChefEscoffier

This was an absolute gem of an experience! From the moment we booked the tour to the moment it ended, our host was spectacular. Our host shared tons of knowledge about the history of Cartagena . They shared recommendations on best places to eat and visit throughout the city. Took time to take memorable pictures of my wife and I along the tour! Kept us safe during the entire bike ride to Bazurto Market. Introduced us to the owners and very important cooks at Cecila's and sat down to dine with us. Made the entire trip a memorable experience of a lifetime! Highly recommended! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️U2821GObeverlyc

I would recommend this experience to anyone wanting to learn more about the area, the people, the culture, and the food. It is not for the faint of heart as the biking through traffic is challenging and the Muscato Burrato environment is very different from the tourist areas of Cartagena. As Giovani says, you see the real Cartagena. I would take that any time.Miguel W

Kept on checking on us while we rode our bikes through the city to make sure we were okay. He told us what places to visit and which to stay away from. The best part or course was the visit to el mercado en Bazarte where we got to eat the food that the locals eat! Cecilias restaurante was amazing!ruhtl2023
