⭐ Free Tour of the Great Center of Cartagena: Walled City and Getsemani
Tour description
Visit the Greater Center of Cartagena: the neighborhoods of Santo Domingo and Getsemaní together in a single tour!
We are the largest group of expert local Free Tours guides in Colombia with 12 original tours created by ourselves and also the most awarded in the country! 7 international recognitions, 5 TripAdvisor Travelers Choice and Top 3 in Bogotá, Cartagena, Medellín and Cali.
We are authentic guides connecting Colombia since 2013, 10 years sharing passion in every step!
Visiting the districts of Santo Domingo and Getsemaní will give you a broader idea of how our lives during colonial times were divided by social classes but connected to achieve local independence. We will experience Cartagena in a different way once we cross the Camellón de los Mártires square, the old bridge that allowed the two sides of society to come together and build their own identity.
Revolts , independence , revolutions and uprisings are the basis of a resistant and fighting Colombian culture that you can see and feel. Travel in time, travel the historical path of freedom and be part of the essence of “La Fantástica” . Cross from north to south to the viewpoint of the San Felipe Fortress and understand the great power held by the people of Cartagena, the jewel of the ancient Spanish Crown.
