About this tour

This 2–3 hour private tour takes you through the Roman Theatre and the hilltop Alcazaba fortress, two monuments that anchor the city's Phoenician and Moorish heritage. You'll move at your own pace without crowds, hearing stories from someone rooted in the place.

What to expect
Your guide will meet you and head straight into the Roman Theatre, navigating the tiered seating and stage remains while explaining its role in daily life under Roman rule. From there, you'll climb to the Alcazaba, a fortress built by Moorish dynasties overlooking the harbour and surrounding hills. The walk involves some uphill sections but is manageable for most abilities. Expect to stop often for photos and questions; your guide will adjust the pace to keep things comfortable. The entire experience stays outdoors, so bring water and sun protection.
