About this experience

These guided tours of the two cities, declared World Heritage Sites since 2003, are ideal for learning about their history, historical and artistic heritage, the figures who have shaped their history, and some interesting legends and anecdotes. They are entertaining and rigorous, and certainly not boring. The guides ensure a pleasant experience and offer all kinds of useful advice for travelers and visitors to the province of Jaén. Visits can be made on the same day (one guided tour in the morning - starting at 11:00 a.m. - and another in the afternoon - starting at 5:00 p.m.). It is advisable to check the afternoon schedule in summer, months of July and August). You can also choose to take the guided tours on different days, consecutive or not. Travel between cities is not covered; this must be done by visitors.
