Were harassed by street vendors constantly. Hop on - Hop off bus not good. Just sat in traffic. Vendors prevented anyone from being able to hear guide or see any sites. Would not go back!

We were on the Island Princess this Sept to Panama Canal and loved it! Cartagena was wonderful, we took a private tour with Dora. HOHO bus is a pain in any city. Aviary at the port was beautiful. Blessed cruising! Joy
