Lovely Almuñécar tour connected to ancient mythology - Lovely experience. A walk from Majuelo Park up to the castle, museum and through the old neighbourhoods. It was obvious that Simona is passionate about mythology, and she does a great job telling the stories, blending this knowledge of ancient mythology with Almuñécar's history.

Enriching - Very interesting Tour. A new experience full with magic in the beautiful historic Center of Almeñecar. We enter the Castle to watch the breath taken view of the coast, then we went to the museum (both entrances are included in the tour, even if there is not a complete visit, as is not an historic tour). We listened to stories which reminds us of a past of magic and imagination that is always good not to forget. Very recommended.

Lovely walk with mythologic twist - A lovely tour with a twist - hearing mythology wrapped up in history was a refreshing change. We did have trouble parking near the meet up point, but Simona was willing to wait for us - we eventually parked in the big car park opposite McDonald's. Definitely take heed and wear sensible shoes as there are lots of steep uphill and downhill parts of the walk. Being able to visit the castle and museum as part of the walk was great - if we'd have time we would have headed back to those. Definitely recommend, thanks Simona

Fun for all - It was so fun and interesting, we saw a small poster on a wall and looked it up online. Then we brought the whole family. We walked through the streets of Almuñecar and we even git to enter the caves and castillo for a brief moment. Our guide even brought a small paper so we could remember all the Greek gods! So fun!
