On this tour we will walk through the most emblematic corners of Cádiz and I will tell you the fascinating history hidden in the oldest city in the West, enlivened with curious stories and anecdotes from the city.
Over the course of these 2.5 hours, you will learn how to identify the house of an Indian shipper, discover some of the gems of our heritage hidden in plain sight, and discover why Cadiz was the only city in Spain that Napoleon was not allowed to enter, among many other things!
From our meeting point next to the town hall, in Plaza San Juan de Dios, let me guide you through our 3000 years of history in a dynamic and entertaining way so that you can get to know Cádiz today better and the leading role we played in the past, making a special stop to talk about "La Pepa", the first Spanish Constitution of 1812.

5.00Just the right amount of walking! Victoria was super upbeat, friendly, and knowledgeable. We would if missed EVERYTHING if she didn’t show us around since a lot of these hidden gems are down alley ways that seem boring
Excellent tour!

5.00Victoria was our tour guide and she was superb! She explained the history of the area and the buildings we were looking at and she also emailed us after the tour to give us suggestions of places to eat and things to see on our own. NO other tour guide has ever done that. Victoria's tour is not to be missed!
2 Hours Well Spent !
