About this experience
Your half-day tour of 4-5 hours (depending on walking times for you, etc.) is completely private, only for you and your party, including a private guide and private transport from wherever you want to begin which allows you to get near to the top of Sagunto, with as minimal upward walking as possible. Since your tour is catered specifically to you and your interests, you are free to customize any part of the tour, as long as you let us know ahead of time. This tour is run by the first company to offer private Jewish tours in the Valencia area (since 2010) and you will see original and unique tangible Jewish heritage, nearly impossible to see elsewhere on this side of Spain. A small off-the-beaten path town, rarely crowded, but with hidden treasures of history. You will, if you so choose, see a great deal of Roman history, as the town has many eras of importance.
