Your private English-speaking licensed guide will meet you directly at the cruise port or your city center accommodation, with private adapted transport. This Half Day Accessible City Tour Cartagena with Panoramic Coastal Drive, is specifically designed for those wanting to enjoy both the best scenery in the area and the main local highlight, the Roman Theatre, in a comfortable and convenient way.
After the pick up from the port, your tour starts heading for the coastline to discover the main geographical wonder to be enjoyed here: the so-called Mar Menor (“Little Sea”). The Mar Menor is an inner salted lagoon splashed with volcanic islands and separated from the Mediterranean Sea through a long thin spit of sand.
Your first destination is a charming fishing village where you will find the tallest lighthouse in the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, built over a cape, to enjoy some of the finest views of the sea.
After a short coffee break in the village, you will make your way back to Cartagena with a leisurely drive through the impressive scenery of an ancient mining Sierra. During the ride your guide will share the local ancient history, before arriving to visit to the Roman Theater Museum and Remains.
After entering the three-floor museum, you go to the upper floor by elevator. A completely step-free tunnel leads you to the real remains of the theatre, and can you admire these from a vantage point right in the middle of its graderies, carved by the slope of a hill.
After the visit of the Roman Theatre Museums, the tour continues with a pleasant (st)roll along the flat city center. You will enjoy the gorgeous-looking Art-Nouveau mansions from the late 19th century, before your guide will take you back to the ship or your accommodation.
If preferred, you can also decide to extend your time in the city for some further sightseeing, and you will make your own way back to the starting point.
