Best tours in Cartagena
Cartagena tours cluster around four themes: colonial walled city, Caribbean islands, sunset sailings and food and culture. Most start and end inside the walled city with hotel pickup included.

The Rosario Islands are a cluster of 27 coral islands about 1 hour south of Cartagena by boat. Catamaran day trips run 60-90 USD per person including lunch, snorkel gear, and open bar. Departures are typically 8am-9am returning 4pm-5pm.
Walled city walking tour
Small group walking tours (25-40 USD per person, 2.5-3 hours) cover Plaza Santo Domingo, the cathedral, the clock tower, Las Bovedas and the history of the Spanish colonial era.

Three days is ideal: one for the walled city and Getsemani, one for a Rosario Islands day trip, and one for Castillo San Felipe, local food and a sunset sailing.
Yes. The UNESCO walled city is one of the best-preserved colonial towns in the Americas, the Caribbean islands are a short boat ride away, and the food and music scene in Getsemani is alive every night.
December to April is dry and sunny. November and May are shoulder season with occasional rain but fewer crowds and lower prices.
