our guide Dmitri sorted everything for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight, and first thing in the morning.

our guide Wei had so many stories and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight, and spot on for a couples day out, and came away with 200+ photos.

our guide Carla sorted everything for us and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and ran the full 4 hours promised.

our guide Carla sorted everything for us and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and honestly better than the tour we did in Seville last year.

our guide Ingrid was nice enough, but a stop the guide added on the fly felt a bit rushed honestly. Last day of the trip. Would only really suit you if youre not fussy, came away with 200+ photos. Bit disappointed ngl, 6 stops in about 3 hours.
