VERY INTERESTING TOUR - Tourist visits to these two impressive cities are highly recommended. We did the tour with SEMER, very good explanations and knowledge of the monumental buildings and the history of both cities. We did the Ubeda tour with Laura and the Baeza tour with Cesar, two people who are passionate about the history of their towns and their profession, as they even exceeded the planned duration of the tour and they were delighted. Bravo for them.

Extremely pleased - My husband and I went to Semer to visit several places in the province of Jaén. We have two great guides (Nazaret and Marta) for private visits to Jaén, Úbeda, Baeza and Sabiote. They also coordinated the visit to Linares, where Agustín, another magnificent guide, accompanied us. Absolutely all of them perfectly met our expectations: professionalism, competence and kindness. We highlight the good management of Begoña Garay, the owner, always attentive to everything, who also provided the transportation. We would not have been able to carry out the tours without the collaboration of Begoña and her team. We totally recommend them.

Great visit and geographical clarification - We liked the visit to Baeza on Sunday the 28th at 11 a.m., just one observation, when the guide said that Baeza was repopulated among other people from the La Mancha Zone of Cuenca and Guadalajara, correct him since Guadalajara has nothing of the region of La Mancha, and yes, the region of La Alcarria and others. Cuenca capital is not in La Mancha either, although the south of the province does have a large area of the La Mancha region. But as I said, the visit was great and we were very happy.

Unforgettable guided tour in Úbeda - Great experience with Rocío, a super professional, entertaining guide, very knowledgeable about the history of Ubeda. It is very worth buying the Ubeda+Baeza combined ticket. Rocío in Úbeda and César in Baeza made the visit to both cities unforgettable.
