PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM ON MATERNITY LEAVE UNTIL MARCH 2ND. I AM ACCEPTING BOOKINGS BUT MAY BE SLOWER TO RESPOND!!! Come and join me for relaxed tours that maintain the Spanish pace and way of life. I am a local guide who speaks fluent Spanish and native English (albeit with a British accent!) and I'd love to share this part of the world with you, plus all the hidden spots that I have found since moving to Spain. I originally moved to Spain for 10 months. . . six years ago! Having spent this time exploring all sorts of secret places, nooks & crannies in Cadiz Province, I now truly love sharing them! I first began guiding visiting friends & family informally before the pandemic . . . then friends of friends . . . and then mutual friends' acquaintances. This means my tours are laid-back & relaxing. I want us to enjoy our time together and make the most out of your vacation not rushing around, ticking off a checklist. I run guides with three distinct focuses: walking and exploring the beautiful nature of Cadiz; sampling and eating as many tapas & sherry as possible (I have the ability to consume my body weight in them); and meandering through the history and culture of Spain. Whenever possible, I love to combine all three! I also offer Special Cruise Packages in order to allow you to make the most of your day in Cadiz when cruising around Spain. In this case I'd pick you up from the port and drop you back with plenty of time before the ship departs again, and we will discuss what you're most interested in seeing during your day here! As for transportation, I can accompany you in your vehicle or provide a comfortable van with 9 seats (myself and a business partner share driving). Finally, please feel free to drop me message about bespoke tours personally tailored to you and your party. I want to know what interests you and help you make the most of this beautiful part of the world. I am energetic, enthusiastic and have all the strange facts that your heart desires! I am experienced in smooth-running logistics so you can sit back and enjoy your tour! -Bachelors in Classics (Latin, Greek & Ancient History) - University of Bristol. -Operational Manager of a Ski Company 2015-2018 -Provided Bay of Cadiz Tours since 2018 -Fully qualified touristic driver with Spanish Licence with 9 years of experience. -One week minimum notice for tours involving hiking. -Two weeks minimum for tours involving transportation.

This experience is the perfect shore excursion for a relaxed half day to get to know rural Cadiz. We'll start by heading out of the city in our air-conditioned mini-van and drive to Medina-Sidonia, a charming white town with stunning views. Here, we'll explore this tiny village with twisting streets and feel as though we've travelled in time. We'll see the legacy of Arabic Spain and sip a coffee under one of the original arches in the town walls with views of the mountains, ocean and (if it's a VERY clear day) Africa! Then we'll descend down the hills towards the seaside town of Chiclana de la Frontera. Hidden in a small forest, next to the beach is a small family-run bodega and vineyard where they specialize in sustainable and local varieties. We'll walk through the vineyards, then enter the bodega proper for a tour and finish up with some local wines, vermouths and tapas. Both Breakfast and Lunch can be arranged on this experience if desired, please message and let me know.
My driver and I will come and pick you up from your ship or hotel in the morning (collection available for Jerez, Cadiz, Puerto Santa Maria, Chiclana & Rota). Let us know whether you're early birds or if you'd like a lie-in! Then we'll begin the drive up towards Medina Sidonia with options to stop for photos and just to take in the view. When we've arrived in Medina-Sidonia, we'll begin to explore these perfectly preserved medieval streets. We'll be seeing churches, castles and beautiful plazas. Next, it's time for a coffee (or a sherry! you're not driving!) and spend some time soaking up the magnificent views of Cadiz. Now, we'll drive down towards Chiclana de la Frontera and get ready for some wines and tapas! To begin with we'll enter through the bodega and then straight to the vines, before heading through all the barrels some of which are over 400 years old. Then we'll sit down to enjoy some sherries, wines and vermouths over some tapas. Normally, after all that wine, a siesta happens on the way back!
