Spain · MURCIA AND CARTAGENA
11 tours
The shortlist we would hand a friend flying in: 11 Murcia and Cartagena Tours, each with a price, a verdict and the catch, where there is one.
A $24 combo ticket for Cartagena’s Roman Theater, Forum Museum, Panoramic Lift, and Castillo de la Concepción, with optional audio.
“The convenience of entry and having the audio guide also helped explain what you were looking at and the history of the particular place.”
3-hour Segura River rafting in Murcia with UNESCO rock art at Monigotes Cave, a Cave of the Otters stop, wildlife spotting.
“We had an excellent day. The guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend as a family day out.”
Double-decker tour of Cartagena with a 45-minute narrated drive, plus an hour to explore the center and Cala Cortina.
“It could be improved by a better queuing system to get on the bus.”
Explore Cartagena’s Roman Theatre Museum, designed by Rafael Moneo. See a 7,000-seat theater, mosaics, and the story of rediscovery.
“You start with the museum and the history snd csn see artefacts. Various floors accessible by lift or escalators. Then you arrive at the theatre and are able to walk around it. Proms and wheelchairs have to stay at the top. For the small entrance fee it is well worth it however if you want an aerial view you can get to it without paying and take all your snaps .”

“Geweldige omgeving en we hebben het super leuk gehad . Zeker een aanrader voor iedereen. Bedankt voor de leuke middag”
Raft the Segura River near Blanca, Murcia. A 4-hour guided trip with picnic, lockers, showers, and a photo report for about $29.
“Wow, I thought for the money it wouldn’t be that great, but it was the best trip. Fun, well organised and even the lunch was branded drinks and substantial baguette. The views were great and being able to get in the river if you wanted to at certain points was brilliant. Be prepared to get wet! Brilliant all round, we will be back to do it all again.”
Ride Cartagena’s Panoramic Lift to Castillo de la Concepción for 3,000 years of history and top harbor views. Audio guide included.

“un servicio de bar ,cuando sales apetece algo fresco”
One-day ticket in Murcia for 500+ animals across Kenya and Iberian habitats, with shows and a water park.
“The zoo was spacious for the animals and was clear they had plenty of food, shade and water for whenever they needed it which made it much more of an enjoyable experience knowing the animals are in a healthy condition. The water park was a lot of fun and a much needed rest after walking around the zoo, plenty of activities and friendly staff! Would highly recommend for a family day out!”
Guided walking tapas tour in Cartagena from the harbor, with 3 tapa tastings, 3 drinks, and landmark history in 2.5 hours.
“Tour operator Maria greeted us just off the pier as we had a bit of confusion regarding time. How sweetly was that?!? Our guide Boris was knowledgeable, patient & kind, he made sure we all had plenty of time to enjoy our food & drink. Enjoyed how this tour was laid out, walk & learn about sights and history-eat/drink then repeat. (3 times). Thank you for the great tour!”
