Our family had a wonderful time in Cartagena.
Our driver Julio and our guide Gustavo were very knowledgeable and very friendly.
Our one day tour of Barranquilla was also very enjoyable, our guide Álvaro gave us a very good overview of the city and all the places of interest.
Our only bad experience was at isla del Rosario where the first of our two day stay there was no running water, not to take a bath or use the toilet, also I had a rash on my torso that looked like bedbugs bites. Other than that the food was delicious and the personnel very friendly.
