The Homes of Many Colors

If you truly want to see the culture of Cartagena, this is the tour to go on. Daniel (Danny) was amazing. Walked us through the beautiful streets of Getsemeni and down in the Market place. His story made us feel as if we lived a day in the life of the locals. He was so full of knowledge.
