Overview of your Cartagena tour

Be the first to see & feel the 90´s discovered the Spanish ancient capital of the ROMAN EMPIRE. As well as outgoing ones: we'll see how the archeologist are still working on more. This Spanish cultural hot spot elegantly blends its Art Nouveau architecture with ancient heritage and a key naval port. The Cartagena city harbour has been a prized city since the Carthaginian times until even during the 18th century when it was made the capital of Spanish Navy's Maritime Department. Today, it still maintains the flavour of an Empire. We'll be around all this majesty and will find spots to feel the Mediterranean flavour itself when stopping for its culinary specialties as well. Immediately you will feel surrounded by the majesty of Phoenician, Carthaginian, Roman and Moorish heritage.

Carolina was a knowledgeable and very kind tour guide. She went above and beyond for our family. My teen boys really enjoyed the tour as well as my wife and I. She took us for lunch at an authentic local restaurant and we enjoyed very different regional food that we would not have found on our own. Her English was great and no issues there at all. She had wonderful communication throughout the process. Again, highly recommend her for Cartagena, Alicante, Valencia and surrounding areas!
