Private Guided Tour of Ubeda

I offer you a real journey through time to find us in the middle of the 16th century and discover the city of Ubeda, classified as a World Heritage Site for its Renaissance district. The circuit of course includes the most important monuments of the city but it also includes places less frequented by tourists. As the group is small, I like to interact with the visitors, ask them questions and get them to participate. In addition, the circuit can be modified according to the tastes and desires of the participants. For example, I can insist more on a monument, a style or a period of history. I can also modify the circuit and show other parts of the city such as the San Lorenzo district or the Santiago hospital. Finally, at the end of the course, I offer you an optional olive oil tasting, a real immersion in the region's flagship product. This moment of exchange is very instructive and much appreciated by visitors.
