63 Super Sport Posted August 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2018 We are on the CB in December. We are in Cartagena for only 6 hours and want to make the most of our time. We are considering a private tour with Carlos Mora, Sion Tours. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homosassa Posted August 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Just a FYI for planning purposes. Cartagena's port is a cargo port. When we have docked in Cartagena. only ship excursions had pick up at the ship. Others had to walk a long distance to the port entrance to meet their non ship excursions. Check with any tour provider on where they will met you for the excursion. If they tell you at the port entrance, be prepared for a hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63 Super Sport Posted August 25, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Thanks for the heads up. When you state a hike...is it more than a mile? Or can you estimate walking time. Your help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted August 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Hmm? The Cartagena port web site says they also have a free shuttle that goes to the entrance for folks who cannot walk the whole way. We are also stopping there but are planning to take a taxi into the city not a tour. There will be more info on the Cartagena port of call thread on this site.

Homosassa Posted August 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 25, 2018 The last time we were there (two years ago), we were a mile and a half away from the port entrance. There was not a free shuttle at the time; maybe it has been added since we last stopped there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted August 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2018 We docked in Cartagena last October, but not on Princess. To get to taxis, we walked by shops and a mini-zoo. It was not a long walk. Taxi to/from the Old City was $10. DH downloaded an audio walking tour, which we followed, stopping in museums along the way.

aquilegia Posted August 26, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I was completely confused by this thread as when we docked in Cartagena a few months ago we were in the middle of the city. Eventually realised that you must all be talking about Cartagena, Colombia while we were in Cartagena, Spain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zman49 Posted August 30, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I agree with the prior post. I used Mr. Emerald. (Lee Miles) Private tour with driver and separate guide. Excellent. They will take you wherever you want to go and stay as long as you want. Did do some walking around town and on return, car drove me right to the gangway.
