What awaits you on this unique tour

 

Our meeting point is on the charming promenade, right in front of the Cruise Terminal, between Licor 43 and the Mare Nostrum Restaurant. From there, we will begin our adventure heading to the port, a fundamental element of Cartagena’s identity, which symbolizes its commercial and maritime importance throughout the centuries.

Walking along the promenade, we will find the Naval Museum area, where you can admire the iconic prototype of Isaac Peral’s submarine, a key piece of Spanish engineering. We will continue to the Plaza de los Héroes de Cavite, dominated by its imposing obelisk, an emotional tribute to those who died in combat.

The tour will take us to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, where you will be dazzled by the splendid façade of the Town Hall, a jewel of modernism that reflects the elegance and splendor of the city. As we enter the historic center, we will reach the amazing Roman Theater, an archaeological treasure and a mandatory stop that will connect you with Cartagena’s imperial past.

After reliving the Roman era, we will immerse ourselves in the lively Plaza de San Francisco, the heart of local social and gastronomic life. From there, we will explore the area of the ancient Roman quarter before climbing Cerro del Molinete. At the top, you will be rewarded with stunning panoramic views and the opportunity to explore its archaeological park.

As we descend, we will walk along Calle Santa Florentina, famous for its traditional bakeries and its popular churrería, before reaching Calle Mayor, the main artery of the old town. Here, life bustles between its modernist architecture and local charm.

I had a great experience with Luca planning our time in Northern Italy—he was so knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with! Luca is extremely good at what he does. His communication is prompt and accurate. He arranged our private transportation (cars and boats!), recommended hotels (we loved them!), purchased admission tickets in advance for us (very convenient and time-saving!), and has a team that is just as professional and friendly as he is! You will not be disappointed! I can't wait to plan another trip with Luca!

Luca has helped us with many trips over the past few years. I think we're now planning our 10th trip. We know that if we book a trip with him, it will be amazing! He has top-notch recommendations and is very organized. He often personally meets the tour guides and other people he arranges for us, and everyone loves working with him. He ensures we have the best experience!
