Must do in Cartagena

Published on Jan, 2025

Had a fantastic trip with a really knowledgeable tour guide for all things Roman in Cartagena. Roman arena was highlight of tour. Enjoyed white wine and lovely local delicacies at end of tour.

A great way to see the sites of Cartagena

We really enjoyed this walking tour. The guide was really knowledgeable and interesting. She was very thoughtful to those who were less mobile. We enjoyed all the sites we visited. It was a great way to see a lot with limited time on shore from our cruise ship. We would recommend this tour.

An Informative and enjoyable tour.

This is a walking tour around the roman amphitheatre, museum and related ruins. It is not a difficult walk for anyone with mobility issues as there are ramps. The walk is followed by a tapas and drink. Our guide Camello, whose English is very good, was knowledgeable and made the tour more enjoyable by also pointing out & discussing other points of interest on the tour, for example the Central Grand Hotel. If there is anything I would have liked a little bit more information about it was why the Romans and originally arrived and why they left. But that is a small point and I can look it up. We weren't on a cruise liner but had driven up from the Costa Almeria. It was a really good morning which we thoroughly recommend.

A great tour!

We were originally scheduled for the three tapas experience however we were the only two booked because our cruise ship made an emergency stop in Cartagena. The company notified us immediately and gave us an offering of either taking the room and Empire tour or the three tapas experience later on in the afternoon; we chose to do the Roman Empire tour, which was at the same time as our original booking. Mello was our tour guide. He was well-versed on the Cartagena history and the evolution of the Roman Empire. We went to the room and Empire museum, which was included in the tickets and enjoyed a thorough explanation of how the theater was built and by whom. Ended with tapas at a local restaurant and was very tasty.

Great historical overview of the city.

Loved the Roman theater! Funny fact the Roman emperor statues have a replaceable head spot since the attrition rate on emperors was high!
