Welcome to Andalucía. My name is Elena and I'm a full time official tour guide in Seville and Córdoba. I have done my studies in Tourism at the University of Seville, when I finished them I started a Master degree in Hotel Management. I decided to open my mind and it was the perfect moment to improve my English skills, for this reason I traveled around Europe and I have been living in London and Ireland for a while. These experiences were very productive to me and I discovered my passion. I love to be in contact with people of different countries, talk with them, make them feel passion for the places I show and also I love passing on my enthusiasm to the people. In fact, private tours are my specialty, I usually work with small groups. I am very flexible, I adapt itineraries and services. I love to customize, for this reason every tour is different. Finally I choose this profession and I started to work in Seville and Cordoba because they are very close to my hometown, Écija and both have an important heritage. For me being a tour guide is more than a job, it's my passion. If you want to know these cities deeply, I suggest you an experience where you can not only know the art, history or the importance of both cities. Also you will be able to discover the customs, traditions and the outlook on life in Andalucía. In every walking tour I combine my enthusiasm and love for my land and roots, always with the cheerfulness and Andalusian character. Andalusia is to live it, I invite you to discover the beautiful corners with an authentic Andalusian girl. - Bachelor in Tourism. - Master Degree in Hotel Management. - Official Tour Guide License nº3181. - Official Tour Guide License, Mezquita-Catedral Córodoba, nº201. - Official Tour Guide License, Alcázar de Sevilla, nº3181. - RASGO Tour Guide License.

Elena Gonzalez' Sephardic Córdoba tour was excellent, with her enthusiasm, choice of sites, historical knowledge of the Roman, Visigoth, and Moslem eras before the Christian kings, and sharing of personal experiences. She helped us understand the incredible impact of the Inquisition even to this day, with phrases like "hacer sabado" (work on Saturday) and "tirar de la manta." And my husband got a photo of himself with the statue of Maimonides! She also recommended a lunch place. Córdoba is incredible!
Brian D.United States
Elena was a fantastic guide and really brought the historical center of Cordoba to life. She adjusted the tour on the fly to cater to our specific interests, knowledgeably answered all of our questions and was an all around fun person to spend the day with - so much that we invited her to lunch afterwards!
Lynne F.United States
Elena really knows her city, is proud of it, and communicated that with her infectious enthusiasm. She's a real local with a sunny personality. She pointed us towards excellent restaurants and gave great menu recommendations for the best traditional dishes. We did her Sephardic tour, and the hour we spent with the guide at the Sephardic museum was also a real highlight; it gave us invaluable insights that informed the rest of our stay in Andalucia. An excellent combination with the other highlights.
