# Rutas Vivamus Guide en Olite Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/companies/rutas-vivamus-navarre-guided-tours Official Navarre guides running guided tours of Olite and its Royal Palace, Ujué, Tudela, the Arguedas caves, Las Eretas and Pamplona. ## Who they are Rutas Vivamus is a tourist routes and cultural management company based in Pamplona, registered in the Navarre Tourism Register under code UETC0079. Its team, whose names the website does not give, is made up of graduates in History, Art and Tourism, and it presents its tours with an official Navarre guide. It does not publish a founding year; its first reviews and blog entries date from 2020. Its motto is "we want to show you our land" and what they stress most is the friendly service, small groups and the possibility of adapting the tour to what the customer asks. ## What routes they do and where They work mostly in Navarre, with an extension into La Rioja and the north of Burgos: Olite: a tour of the medieval old town with entry to the Royal Palace. Ujué: the perched village and its fortress-church, for groups only. Tudela and Arguedas: the capital of the Ribera and, in Arguedas, the caves dug into the rock and the Museo Ticiano. Estella-Lizarra: a visit to the Camino de Santiago and its Romanesque art, for groups only. Las Eretas: the Iron Age site-museum at Berbinzana. Pamplona: a free tour, a full tour and another combining history and gastronomy. Santo Domingo de la Calzada, with a daytime tour and a dramatised night tour, and Miranda de Ebro. In addition to the catalogue routes, they prepare tailor-made tours to other places and closed packages, and take care of bookings and tickets. ## What the tours are like The Olite tour lasts an hour and a half, starts at the Royal Palace, whose interior is toured, and continues through the streets; it admits up to 25 people, and larger groups are handled separately. It costs €12 for adults and €7 for ages 6 to 13, with palace entry included; under-6s do not pay. The Pamplona free tour leaves on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 17:00 and 19:30 next to the tourist office in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, lasts between an hour and a half and two hours and is pay-what-you-wish; groups of more than 15 people must call beforehand. The website does not publish a fixed meeting point for Olite or regular times outside the free tour: they are agreed when booking. Nor does it give a minimum age, although the children's rates make it clear that you can go with children. ## Booking, cancellations and languages You book by phone (617 189 957) or by email (info@rutasvivamus.com); on the Olite listing they warn that the online booking engine is not yet active. Conditions depend on the route. In Olite, tickets bought are not refunded, but the date and time can be changed if there is room; if the minimum number of people is not reached, the company cancels with up to 24 hours' notice and refunds the amount. Tours start on time and latecomers are not refunded. On the Pamplona free tour, the listing says everything is refunded with 10 days' notice, half with 5 and nothing with less than 48 hours.
