About Tour Guide Begoña H.
Born in Segovia. I am an official tour guide of Castille and Leon, mainly in Segovia and surrounding villages.
Everytime I happen to walk in Segovia I feel like a tourist, yet with the knowledge of history of every corner of the city. It's easy to fall in love with Segovia being a World Heritage Site, having one of the most impressive Roman Aqueducts, a generous number of Romanesque churches, the last Gothic-style Spanish Cathedral and the Alcázar and much much more to discover.
On top of I really enrich myself exchanging knowledge with different cultures, which I believe it makes the visit more joyful and interesting.

“Segovia Highlights with Begonia”
Begonia was a wonderful tour guide. She showed us the highlights of Segovia and did a great job explaining the history of the city and it's monuments. When the tour concluded, she gave us a personal escort to the restaurant where we had reservations and would have been lost trying to find it ourselves.She was also very helpful when planing the trip and resonded to all questions. I highly recommend her if you plan to visit Segovia.
