  I did two tours with them. They were very helpful on both occasions. The Rosario islands was nice but pretty basic. The Tierra Bomba bike tour was great. It was fun and informative. The tour guides, Valerie and Cindy, were very helpful and went over the top to help.

  One of the best best vacations we've ever taken! Rainbow Nelson and his talented team looked after every detail of our nine days in and around Cartagena. We traveled with our three children and my parents--there was something fun for everyone. This Is Cartagena planned wonderfully creative adventures for us each day, like a treasure hunt for the kids, salsa dancing lessons, chocolate making, floating in a mud volcano, tours through the market and a gondola ride through the mangroves. They arranged for daily Spanish lessons (Gustavo was fantastic with the kids!) and private tours with dynamic, talented guides (Ronaldo and Alex!). We chose Colombia because we hoped to expose our children to other cultures and ways of life. I'll admit I was a little nervous to travel there, but we felt safe at every moment--and I appreciated the efforts they made to Introduce us to aspects of real life in Cartagena, beyond the typical tourist experiences. It left a lasting impact upon us all!
  
  The accommodations were great. We loved the Casa Hobo and the amazing staff! Excellent food at every meal--we dined in several times and were treated to traditional Colombian cuisine. The week also included several meals out on the town arranged by This is Cartagena. They planned for a range of dining experiences that were occasionally adventous, but always delicious! Our three days at a private beach retreat were heavenly! The place came equipt with a beautiful pool overlooking the Caribbean, food served up under the palm trees, and daily excursions on speedboats to explore the nearby islands. It was paradise! What luck we had finding Rainbow and his team. We were so well looked after--leaving it all to come home was the hardest part!

  Solid tour guide org - a little pricey but they're flexible and have good guides. I'd recommend them for those who are looking for a more private tour that will cater closer to your preferences.

  Fantastic day tour today with Ronaldo. We went around for 3 hours and he even took us to another area that was not included after the tour was supposed to have finished it was very kind of him. I would recommend you do the tour here as they are very professional and knowledgeable.

  "A day in paradise" was literally that. I didn spect to find such an amazing places so close to Cartagena as most of what you read when you come over is about the historic spots and Islas del Rosario. Well This is Cartagena will take you to the islands but in a less crowed way, much more comfortable, and you will visit fantastic spots. Definitelly a day in paradise, perfect to relax, doing snorkeling, relaxing in a yate and a beach, and having lunch at at beach club with a beach and a pool in case you preffer som sweet water. Plus the staff is sooo nice!

  If you're looking for an impeccable experience while traveling to Cartagena, I highly recommend using This Is Cartagena. As a non-Spanish speaking individual, their site was easy to use and we booked our two excursions without any hiccups. We booked one trip in the wee hours of the night and were still able to take our early morning tour.
  
  The excursions that they offer range from high end "Your Day in Paradise" to exploring gritty city life "The Real Cartagena" (the two we took).
  
  The Day in Paradise trip was perfect. We had nice weather to travel by boat to the islands, delicious Colombian meal, and the fellow cohort of travelers were friendly. It was so relaxing, I ended falling asleep in my beach chair right on the beach front.
  
  Now, the Real Cartagena tour was off the chain. This is reminiscent of a busy day living in NYC (think Chinatown). This day was the highlight of my entire trip to Cartagena. Highly recommended. You have to take this tour.
  
  I am a people person and the employees of This is Cartagena seal the deal. I can't speak enough to how kind and protective, Carlijn and Christian were while they served as our guides. They translated for us, bargained for us, and ensured that we had a great time in Colombia.
  
  Hopes this helps! Enjoy your future travels.
