Sue and John Walker – your guides to Jumilla
John and I have lived in Jumilla for nearly two years, and we love showing friends and family around the town. We have been on the excellent guided visits organised by the local Tourist Office, but we know some people can find them a bit daunting as they are all in Spanish, so we came up with the idea of Walkers Tours of Jumilla in English.
If you come on a Walkers Tour of Jumilla, your guides will both speak fluent English, as I am English and John is Scottish (OK, John’s fluent English may be debatable!)
We are also happy to tailor the tour to suit your needs. If you love looking around museums, we can time it to allow you to indulge yourself wandering around the Archeological Museum, the Semana Santa (Holy Week) museum, and the new Museo Jesus Nazareno. With enough notice we can even arrange for you to visit the private wine museum, which is a fascinating experience even if you aren’t a wine lover.
If you prefer gardens and plazas to museums, a walk out to the Botanical Gardens can be included as well as a stroll to see the many lovely gardens and squares around the town.
A popular option at the end of the walk is a visit to one of Jumilla’s many bodegas: after the tour of the bodega you can indulge yourself with wine-tasting and nibbles.
Prices are very reasonable. Depending on the size of your group and what options are included, you can have a guided walk around Jumilla, a visit to the bodega plus wine-tasting for less than 10 euros.
Please contact us through this website if you want to book a tour or for further information.
Comments from Kathy and Tony (San Pedro del Pinatar) after their Walkers Tour of Jumilla:
“John and Sue took us to all the local historic buildings carefully explaining about each point, last of which was the wonderful castle with views of the town and surrounding areas, absolutely breathtaking. These guys were good, their knowledge of the town second to none , and good fun to be with.
Thank you so much Sue and John, for giving us a truly memorable and enjoyable weekend with fantastic hospitality, and a guided tour not to be forgotten, far beyond what we expected and recommended to all.”

Hi Sue, I am so embarrassed to tell you that I’ve omitted to follow your blog since I added it to my own BUT I promise to rectify this. Take care, see you on Facebook.

Hi Janice
No need to be embarrassed, as I haven’t posted as much as I would like. This has been due to writing commitments for Mar Menor Focus, Over 65 magazine etc. However watch this space as I am working on a new post about our special award….
See you, and others, on Facebook.
Sue
Good info. I reached on your website by accident, so thanks.
