Cartagena through a local lens

On private tours of Cartagena, we make it our mission to give you authentic snapshots of local life because that’s what exploring a new city is about. Between exploring iconic attractions like centuries-old stone walls and sunny shores, our private Cartagena tours will also take you off the tourist trail. Your local insider will share with you some of the special places loved by the people who call the city home – hidden craft stores buried deep in the Old Town and street art-plastered walls rarely found by visitors. On our private tours in Cartagena, you’re not just any other tourist.

Tours tailored to you

Every traveler is unique, and that’s why we believe all our private Cartagena tours should be, too. When you book a private tour of Cartagena with us, one of our local hosts will reach out to you to learn about your personality and passions. Whether you’re a beach bum, a full-on foodie, or a history buff, we’ll craft an itinerary around your interests. No two private tours in Cartagena with City Unscripted are the same. And, in a city as diverse as this one, where the attractions appeal to people from all walks of life, anyone can find something to love. Ready to see the real Cartagena?

See the best of the barrios

From full-day to food tours, our private Cartagena tours cater to every type of traveler. But if you really want to understand the spirit of the city, the only way to do it is through Cartagena’s diverse barrios (neighborhoods), each with their own distinct charms. You couldn’t possibly miss out on exploring the crisscrossing lanes of the iconic Old Town, but you could also get off the beaten track to explore artsy, colorful Getsemani, or stroll down the palm tree-lined promenades of swanky seaside Bocagrande – just tell us where you want your private tour of Cartagena to take you!
