The guided tour was excellent, very good explanations of the history of the town, we were with a person in a wheelchair and he was concerned about my wife's comfort at all times.

It is probably one of the best guided tours I have ever taken. Jesús the guide knows Alarcón and its history perfectly and knows how to transmit that knowledge in an entertaining and educational way.

Spectacular, both the visits and the explanations during them. Entertaining and highly recommended. The mural of Jesus Mateo with the explanations is great

We took the guided tour with Alarkum based on the opinions we saw on the internet and the truth is that it is very worth it. In addition to being able to enter some of the churches, which is not possible otherwise, visiting the mural painting of Jesús Mateo makes no sense if it is not explained to you. Highly recommended. The guide, Jesús, is very pleasant and professional.

A very interesting visit and Jesus, the guide who accompanied us was phenomenal. It seems that he knows a lot and likes what he does. To repeat without a doubt

It is essential if you go to Alarcón that you take the guided tour. Jesus is a wonderful guide. As it was Wednesday we booked the 10:00 visit and we only met one other couple, so the visit for four was a luxury. If you don't visit you will miss many things about the impressive history of Alarcón, the surprising collection of mural paintings by Jesus Mateo sponsored by UNESCO and you will not see any buildings inside since everything is closed, nor will you go up to the castle's amenities (unless you are staying at the parador)

It was a surprising walk, and we discovered Alarcón with the explanations that the guide gave us. All the cultural wealth of Alarcón is impressive. Don't miss the mural painting by Jesús Mateo.

Excellent guided tour, very interesting, enjoyable and illustrative, if you had not taken it you would not have seen anything and we would have left Alarcon without appreciating everything it has.

It was a very enjoyable guided tour, since Amparo the guide explained everything very well. You learn the history of Alarcón and the customs and of course all its monuments. Advisable to take a guided tour.
