On our cruise from Chile to Fort Lauderdale, Cartagena was the last stop. After our day there, we felt we had definitely “left the best till last”. As promised, Marelvy (www.tourismcartagena.com) was waiting for our group of eight on the dock in her trademark white dress and immediately we felt in good hands, ready to enjoy our day. Marelvy is... More

Instead of choosing the standard cruise-ship excursion, we opted to see Cartagena with Marelvy. An excellent move! Marelvy is a native who truly loves her city and makes it her mission to assure that those touring with her see as much as possible and learn the story of this beautiful old city. We spent a very special April 1st with... More

I traveled to Cartegena, Colombia in Jan 2012 for my birhday. I happened to find Marelvy Tours online.

We missed all the... More

Rather than take a less personal cruise sponsored tour, we joined 10 others for an excellent and informative city highlights tour of Cartagena with Marelvy Tours.

I'm sure being married to an... More

Marelvy is in and of herself, a "must see" attraction in Cartagena. Aside from her deep knowledge and love for the city, this woman knows EVERYONE...when you tour with her you get to meet many people who highly regard her, this woman was warm, friendly, and evokes the spirit and love of Cartagena.

Dear Marelvy, There are barely words to tell you how much we enjoyed our time with you and seeing Cartagena through your eyes. Being with you was like being with an old friend, and we fell in love with Cartagena because of you and your magnificent way of expressing the history, culture, and life of this wonderful city. We thank... More

We visited Cartagena while on a cruise so had only a short time. Because I was so interested in Cartagena, particularly because of the writings of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, I decided to splurge on a private tour with Marelvy. She was easy to contact by email and very accommodating in arranging a tour that focused on the Old City and... More

All of us enjoyed your sight-seeing look at the city. We saw alot, considering the short time we had! You did a fine job, with lots of history &... More
