If the itinerary had been reversed, we would have easily rated this tour five stars. Beginning our day early, exploring downtown Cartagena first would have been ideal, avoiding the crowds and truly immersing ourselves in its charm. Following this with a visit to Murcia would have been the perfect progression.

Gema was a marvelous guide. With her archeological background, she gave a wonderful insight to the history and current work being done to preserve the ancient sites.

What a waste of money. The only good part was the guide was very knowledgeable but the rest was horrible.

Warren_B

Tour Guide was one of the best we’ve had on our tours thru more than 80 countries. wish more guides were like Her, knowledgeable, patient and personable.

This tour was a fabulous introduction to Spain, Cartagena, and Murcia! Gema, our guide, has a Masters Degree in archeology and spends most of her time leading archeologists in working on the Roman and Arab antiquities under the ground in both cities. Her knowledge of the history, culture, day-to-day life and her “day job” Preserving the ruins made her an ideal guide. She also has a natural enthusiasm to share about Spain and her cities. This was my first Viator tour and I have to say it was far better than GetYourGuide.com tours I have taken- and they were Good. But his was exceptionall! I also like the convenience of them Picking us up by bus right by The port!

Gema, the tour guide is very knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly. She is an archeologist and has a very good knowledge of details in the history of Murcia and Cartagena

The tour guide spoke poor English. All participants in the tour were English speaking. However, the sights that we saw were beautiful even though the explanations were difficult to understand.

Danny was an excellent guide. He was patient with people & very informative. We saw so much of both cities. I would recommend this tour

Robert_K

Our tour was excellent and the knowledge of our tour guide unbelievable. She was raised in Cartagena and she is very proud of the city it has become. The theater ruins were my favorite part and the history is by far the most interesting I have heard on this cruise. Thank you
