Lots of great history here and our tour was okay, but the city is dirty and the vendors are obnoxious. I said, no gracias, more times in one day than I have in my entire life and travels combined. It was just frustrating to feel like every moment was a hassle. ...

We enjoyed this port, specially if you go to old town Cartagena, yes there are vendors but with a polite no thankyou they leave you alone, no harassing. ...
