Fun and informative

Gio was awesome! Personable and very knowledgeable. This was my first time ever on a segway, and he showed me how to do it in minutes. He also made sure that we were safe when crossing streets. This was a fun experience.

Wonderful experience

This tour was the perfect way to explore Getsemani and the old city. Giovanni is an amazing tour guide and using the electric scooters allows you to cover a large area easily and get the layout for the area. Having this tour in the early evening is perfect for comfortable temperatures and leaves you time to return to some of his fantastic recommendations for dinner or drinks. We were a party of adults and 21 year old girls and everyone loved this tour. Do not hesitate to book this. You will be happy you did.

Mediocre at best

First they changed the meeting location, then they wouldn't really take time to show someone who had never rode a skateboard (18) how to do it. There ended up being 3 people on tour and for all intents and purposes might have been 2. He didn't show any concern if older white guest was present, was struggling when had to walk and lift the skateboard. Tour could have been interesting but always started talking before everyone there.

Wonderful, family adventure and tour

My family and I had a great tour with Gio. He was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. Due to riding electric scooters, it was fun, and we were able to cover the walled city as well as Getsemani. We even took advantage of a beautiful sunset riding on the wall.

Great way to experience ...

Great way to experience Cartegena. We had been here two days prior to the tour so I wasn't sure how much more he would show us but he definitely surprised us. He showed us sooooo many new places. He gave us a slight practice on the scooter before we started because we were literally in the streets and on sidewalks. The start time at 530 was perfect because it was sunny but not too hot. Tour lasted 90-120 min. He took pictures and recorded a cool video of us. This eas the best way to see alot of Cartegena without getting tired. We wore longer skirts and that was the perfect outfit since we was flowing in the wind and it was breezy
