Cartagena chiva party bus tour with disco entry. Dance past Bocagrande and the old city, snap photos, end at Taboo club.

“Started off really good but unfortunately we had to switch chivas twice during the trip. I was glad that they had a back up but every time it was more of a downgrade. Nonetheless we had tons of fun. The music was perfect. We got to see some of the city and we stopped at the boot statue, the castle and the large Cartagena logo! Free entry for local club called taboo was included but we didn’t stay for that. Very close to our hotel so pick up and drop off was walking distance. Great tour guide who animated everyone and the price was good too ! They were very…”

“Esse foi, sem dúvida, um dos passeios mais animados que fizemos em Cartagena! Subir numa chiva rumbera e transformar um simples ônibus em pista de dança foi uma experiência única e contagiante. Com música alta, luzes coloridas e um clima de festa, dançamos, rimos e curtimos cada momento. Durante o tour, fizemos três paradas rápidas: - O Monumento das Botas Velhas - O imponente Castelo San Felipe - E o Letreiro de Cartagena Este último, porém, impossível tirar uma foto sozinho no horário noturno. Um ponto de atenção: realmente pode ser difícil localizar o ônibus certo entre tantas chivas no mesmo local de encontro. Isso poderia ser mais organizado pela…”

“Travel guide was good and explained things well.. however, having assigned seats on a bus you're getting on and off of often is beyond ridiculous. Ruined the whole trip!! The guide allowed people to complain about the only black ppl on the bus sitting in different spots, but other ppl were sitting in different spots and not one complaint. I could have done without having to feel targeted. Never again! And to the ppl complaining, please grow up! We are not school kids sitting in a classroom. Who cares where you sit, when youre getting off in less than 10min. Smh”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 9 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $18

Ride a Cartagena chiva by night, hit top sights, snap photos at Las Botas Viejas and the Cartagena letters, then party in the historic center.

“This experience is all about the vibe. It all depends what groups of people are in the Chiva and your own personal vibe. The experience for me was just ok. I was not aware that you could bring alcohol to the Chiva. I was also not aware that you have to get on a rickety ladder to get on and off the Chiva. The guide is very inclusive and plays all type of music even music that you request. Prior to getting on the Chiva, I had taken a panoramic tour of Cartagena. So, I did not need to get off and look at the monuments. Overall, it was an…”

“The pick up point was very confusing,. I waited for almost an hour before they actually showed up. I had to get Wi-Fi since I’m American and re-contact them to make sure they were still coming to get me. It was unprofessional and the bus was overcrowded. I barely had any room to sit down and people constantly bumping into me. I did not feel comfortable, and the music was boring.”
