If you’re planning a trip to Cartagena, I can’t recommend Nicky and her team at Cartagena Services, highly enough. We contacted at the last minute, and they somehow made every detail feel effortless. From securing reservations at the city’s best restaurants, beach clubs, bars, and nightlife spots to arranging transportation, security, and special touches throughout our stay, they handled absolutely everything. We truly felt like we had insider access to the very best Cartagena has to offer.

100/10!!!! We did a bday girls trip. Seamless from beginning to the end. The team was always available and replied quickly to all messages whether big or small. Every recommendation was excellent and they handled all the bookings etc What I loved the most was the little details that made a HUGE impact like the decor and the wellness day goodies. Hands down, eyes closed you can count on your experience being magical with them. Bravo!

Nicky helped my family plan a week trip to Cartagena 2 years ago and everything was sublime. Today I came back for the day on a Royal Caribbean cruise and she helped us arrange transportation, spa, and a delicious lunch in the old city. Perfect itinerary for a short day in Cartagena. Highly recommend her services! Friendly, attentive, and knows all the good spots.

As someone who cherishes the finer things in life but often finds myself too busy and overwhelmed to navigate the complexities of travel planning, I was absolutely enchanted by the expertly curated experiences offered by Cartagena Services. Nicky and her incredible team thought of every detail, leaving no stone unturned. … Without a doubt, they are my favorite concierge company I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

Testimonials

Nicky, her team from CS, and her local relationships was undoubtedly the best organization I / we have used....by a long shot! Her attention to detail, ease of doing business, local knowledge and customer service is second to none. She speaks perfect English which is a major bonus and ensures no "loss in translation." Nicky and her team surpassed all expectations at every juncture and as a group we were certainly tough to please.

Nicky was professionalism personified, but with the friendliest of faces! Her previous work with UHNWIs was evident in her discretion, attention to detail, and calmness under pressure. Cartagena is a magnificent place, but is ten times more enjoyable if CS helps navigate for you! I hope CS branch out around South America and will certainly use their services again. Thanks Nicky!!
