this tour was very interesting and made us understand the history of t

Our guide was so very nice and informative, she was very punctual and so we could start the tour, wandering around all the little streets and discovering the old town walls and gates, the roman theater was amazing to think it was only discovered recently. We had plenty of time to listen to lots of history and take photos and ask questions. We really enjoyed this tour, with its variety of buildings, patios, towers, little streets etc. Cadiz is a very interesting city. Our guide was perfectly friendly and an expert in her job, Thank you very much

We had a personal tour round Cádiz, just the two of us. The young lady guide made the tour most interesting. Explains about the history of the different districts of Cádiz. Also told us about the James Bond film which was shot on one of the beaches. Well worth the two hour tour, would recommend it. Thank you
