Lina was my guide on a tour of the San Felipe fortress in Cartagena And, the next day, a tour of the old city walls and other points of interest within.
Her command and pronunciation of English was exemplary.
Her knowledge concerning the evolution of the fortress over time and the various phases of building and construction was encyclopedic.
She was aware of the principles and purpose of fortification, defensive techniques and tactics and pointed out where these had been applied in the fortress’s construction.
She was willing and able to discuss any questions and volunteered background documentation.
Lina displayed the same level of knowledge while guiding me around the walls and points of interest in the old city.
Information was always clearly interestingly presented. Never a dull moment.
Lina has my full and unreserved recommendation for both these tours.
