“The Half-Day Tour to Totumo Mud Volcano from Cartagena was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The mud volcano itself is such a unique and fun experience — relaxing, a little surreal, and something I’ll never forget. What truly made this tour exceptional were our guides, Franklin and Eduardo. They were professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive the entire time. I accidentally forgot to get cash from the ATM, and without hesitation, they loaned me money so I could tip the local workers. That level of kindness and care went above and beyond what I would ever expect. It really showed how much they care about their guests and the local…”

“I am a frequent user of Viator. Every excursion that I have booked over the last 5 years has been wonderful. No complaints. I am truly disappointed by this excursion. I first want to say that this is not a commentary on our tour operator, Jesus—he was wonderful. He knew a lot, had a great attitude, and spoke good English. Our pickup was about 20 minutes later than projected which is to be expected with theses trips when there are pickups from multiple hotels. However, this excursion was only my group and one other who was picked up after us. Confused by the lateness. On our way out to the…”

I also like how the provided us with a snack and cup of juice before the bath too! Then we had lunch and drinks at the beach! The individual who is over the tour also booked my transportation back to the airport. I really appreciate everyone! Thank you so much for the lifelong memories!!”

“The day started off a little late our driver picked us up at 640am which was fine. Our driver, Omar let us know it will be an hour drive, he was very informative and explained what was expected during this experience. Once we got out the car we went straight into the volcano. Now the walk up them steps was a real workout, I wore water-shoes because I didnt want to slip on the mud even tho it was already dry. We couldn’t go into the mud with our shoes (which sucked) because once it was time to get out it was very slippery and hard to climb out of.…”

“Had an awesome experience soaking/dipping my n the mud. My tour guide was amazing. I did a private solo tour so it the experience was memorable. I would recommend not getting the massage, any pics taken by the locals there as they are very aggressive and demanding when it comes to tipping. If you have a buddy take turns in the mud and take your own pictures or at the end you feel like an antelope being chased by hyenas to get the tips!!”

“The two stops at the "museum" (two rooms) in a deserted town. And the "pink" lake (not pink at all, but they told us this once we were on our way) should be totally eliminated. Just go straight to the mud baths. We were "dropped" off at the restaurant for lunch. No one from the tour company accompanied us in. No one at the restaurant spoke English. Thank goodness, a kind restaurant patron spoke Spanish and English. They came to our rescue and communicated with the restaurant Staff to get us drinks and a meal. The tour company came back after we were done and sitting around chatting and picked…”
