“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…”

“My husband and I really enjoyed the mud volcano along with relaxing at the beach!! I would recommend this tour to all tourists! It was well worth it.

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.…”

“It was an interesting and fun experience. We went in the afternoon and it was a good time because it wasn't too hot and there weren't so many people that we couldn't stay long in the volcano. The tour guide was nice. The only think I didn't like was being harassed for tips at the end of the experience. They didn't ask if I wanted the services they provide like the massage and wash-off in the lake. They just did it and wait outside for you to to tip them. I didn't mind tipping, it was just the way that it was done. A guy offered to let me wear…”
