About this experience
Discover the city of Cadiz as if it were being shown to you by your lifelong friend you have come to visit.
You won’t have to take any exams when we finish the tour, here you will come to enjoy this magical place with more than 3,000 years of history without us filling your head with names and data that you won’t be able to remember tomorrow when you are having your first morning coffee.
A peaceful tour where we will tell you the history and culture of Cadiz as we Cadiz live it. Stories, curiosities and legends in a family atmosphere where we will make you stop feeling like tourists and know the city as we know it.
Groups where everyone can connect with the guide and participate in the visit. We are not at school nor are our guides teachers, we are all people enjoying a magnificent stage, so your questions and comments will always be well received.
