5.00What a great tour! So interesting and informative. Our guide Alejandro was funny, flexible (we needed to adjust our arrival time after some travel delays), and told us heartwarming stories about the city and its little nuances. He clearly has a passion for the history of the city. The camera obscura was unlike anything that we had seen and was so neat. The drink at the end was a beautiful way to cap off the afternoon.
An experience you should experience

5.00A wonderful and amazing spectacular day. My experience on the Tavira Tower tour was very good. The climb is worth the panoramic views of Cadiz, which are spectacular and allow you to better understand the city from above. The Camera Obscura was undoubtedly the most surprising thing about the visit. It is a very curious and different experience, and it is made even more interesting thanks to the explanations of the guide. The guide was very professional, close and pleasant. He explained everything clearly, with a touch of humor, and you could see that he knew well the history and functioning of the Tower. It also resolved doubts and made the visit dynamic and entertaining. Although there are many stairs, the visit is not heavy and the route is spectacular. It is a highly recommended activity if you visit Cadiz, especially on a first visit, I recommend choosing this company, thank you very much!!

5.00How fortunate to have travelled Cadiz with Juanjo. The visit was amazing. He knows every corner of the city and his passion for history and legends is instantly perceived. Transform the streets into living narratives. It is close and very helpful. If you are looking for a top guide in Cadiz, for its human quality and knowledge, it is the best choice.

5.00I had the opportunity to meet Cadiz and take a guided tour with Alba and I was very happy and satisfied by both the knowledge of her and the love and passion with which she has and transmitted everything, a 10. Someone who loves and knows their city and gets to pass the same thing on to others. Fully recommended
The main thing was the great time we had and the Mood in the group.
