Our guide Marta gave us the best guided tour which I've ever experienced. She was so knowledgeable, funny, amicable and motivated that we enjoyed every minute of our tour. She spoke very good English and was always happy to answer our many questions. She even gave us more time than she had to! Graçias, Marta! Claudia and Mark

We had an amazing tour guide. A young woman from Santa Maria! Unfortunately we can't remember her name but she was brilliant. It ended up.just being my sister and I on the tour and she had lots of historic facts to tell us as we walked around the city. She took us into sweet shops and told us of local cuisine. She also personalised the tour for us as we'd already been to the cathedral! Really enjoyed it, she had such passion for the city and history.

We were very lucky to be the only 2 on a wonderful tour of key buildings in the medieval section of Cadiz. With thanks to our host Marta we had more of a long walking conversation past historic buildings we would never had identified without her knowledge, architectural and religious details through the streets and both cathedrals. It was extremely enjoyable. We took the 6pm tour so everything was much quieter and less congested. This also made a bid difference.
