Category - I was lucky enough to do a tour with Juanjo in Cadiz and it was a fantastic experience. You can rating that he knows the city like the back of his hand and conveys history, anecdotes and corners with incredible passion. His way of explaining makes every street and every square come alive. Also, it is very close, friendly and always waiting to resolve any questions. Without a doubt, if you want to discover Cadiz for real, with someone professional and friendly, I recommend Juanjo 100%.

SPECTACULAR THE ROOFTOPS OF CADIZ "IN VIEW OF GULL"! - Fun, enriching and very interesting to walk the streets with the guide Alejandro, who is telling you the historical, architectural and cultural facts of the city in detail, enthusiasm and closeness. We share the magnificent views of Cadiz from the Tavira viewpoint tower, contemplating how the rooftops and viewpoints are fitted is a delight, to which adds a curious and wide perspective of the city from the camera obscura. At the end of the tour, relaxed talk and refreshment included on a hidden roof, personal touch of the guide and perfect farewell place of the route. We have to go back to Cadiz! Thank you🙂

Best way to see Cádiz ! - Alejandro was an engaging, Cádiz loving guide. Not only did he describe both the history and reason the Torre Tavira existed but brought to life the way Cádiz became so important as the major port to the Americas & world beyond. His English was excellent & he was able to describe the whole history within the tower which is only described in Spanish.
The tour also included an excellent walk around the local area , Alejandro brought it to life, showing us everything from special street lights to sculptures, to where the merchants & bankers lived. He explained beautifully how they would have lived, & showed us how the merchant houses have been changed over the years, some more so than others.
Can’t recommend this tour more highly, it’s enlightening & historically interesting but most of all fun!

Best Cadiz Tour!!! - It was a great time and experience. Alejandro was a great guide and was very patient with us as we had a few hiccups and arrived later than expected but he was kind and waited and still showed us a great time! He knew a lot about the area and was able to answer all of our questions and even took the time to get to know us on a personal level. We definitely look forward to going on another tour and if he is the guide it's a no brainer!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
