I'm full vaccinated . 34 years of EXPERIENCE in different tourism related companies together with my 25 years of experience working as LICENSED OFFICIAL TOUR GUIDE (not a temporary license) as a Free Lance in the city of Seville with a top level ENGLISH LANGUAGE, a very good KNOWLEDGE of the history and traditions of Seville and a very good sens of humour and flexibility, permit me to offer nowadays the BEST TOURS of this very city. Pls , LOOK MY NUMBERS IN THIS SITE . THEY ARE THE BEST GUARANTEE FOR YOU TO HAVE THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE IN MY HOMETOWN . MORE THAN 1.280 TOURS AND MORE THAN 600 REVIEWS WITH 99, 9 % RATED WITH 5 STARS ! BEST IN ANDALUCIA THANKS YOUR CONFIDENCE ! AUTHENTIC NATIVE (Sevillano). I consider ESSENTIAL being native in this Job because I have not only the knowledge because of my academic training, the several exams I must pass to get the licence as Official tour Guide , a constant updating , but also the LOVE to the city where I was born and live my whole life , where my relatives live, where in resume thousands of local histories live in my mind. SKIP THE LINES WITH ME. If you want to do an agile tour, don't wait long lines. Obviously, I can't write here every detail of the content of a rich tour like the ones I offer you as you must take into account that you're going to be with a LICENSED OFFICIAL TOUR GUIDE who must pass 4 exams and speak at least 3 languages. Being native, I've been living in my city during the last 50 years (I'm 51 yo) and you can imagine my knowledge of the area. So, together the history, traditions, etc, I will show the hidden places, tapas bars designed for locals (cheap and good), places to find the real hand painted tiles (even you have the possibility to see how they paint now using ancient techniques (those you will enjoy inside our monuments, etc, etc, etc . Let me surprise you ! If you don't find what you want to visit in my tours and excursions (for example Tangier, Gibraltar, etc) , pls ask me about it, as Seville offers one of the most important monumental heritages on earth, temporary exhibitions, new museums, Convents, local artists workshops, flamenco lessons, Cooking Classes, ANDALUSIAN wine tastings, horse rides tours in the countryside, industrial tourism (solar pannel plants, wind mills, olive mills, )etc, etc. I would suggest you to ask for availability as sometimes monuments change their schedules because of temporary special events or even I can also change/move my existing bookings. 100% SUCCESSFUL TAKE CARE AND KEEP EXPLORING THE WORLD !

I've designed this tour for you to have the possibility to visit this amazing city with its magnificent and unique Mosque (Mezquita / today this monument is called the Cathedral of Cordoba), Sinagogue (closed on Mondays) and Jewish Section and its muslim andalusian taste. We will explore the wonderful cordoban city centre and enjoy its patios , narrow streets, hiden squares dedicated to important ppl like Maimonides, or even the local leather and Silver workshops . I have a special feeling at this city as a part of my family lives in Cordoba, so let me show it to you! From my point of view , Cordoba is a must for those who want to really understand the local history (Roman and Muslim capital in ancient times) and visit one of the most amazing monuments in Spain : La Mezquita which began to built more than 1000 years ago. In the ways Seville-Cordoba-Sevilla We will enjoy the spectacular Andalusian Countryside Full of Spanish symbols and agriculture (the sea of Olive trees).
Great, knowledgable guide. Very well worth the time and travel to see and experience Cordoba. Highly recommend Alvaro.
Alvaro is excellent. He educated and entertained us. We booked Alvaro for three tours: a walking tour of the highlights of Sevilla, a day trip to Cordoba, and a day trip to white hill villages. Each time I came away with a greater appreciation for the history and culture of Andalusia, thanks to Alvaro’s narratives. Also, if you want to know where to eat and what to eat in Andalusia, Alvaro is your authoritative source. Hire him. You will not be disappointed.
Fantastic tour of Cordoba! Alvaro picked us up from our hotel and was a fantastic driver. His car was super comfortable for our family, and he spoke about the towns we were passing along the drive. Alvaro was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about Seville and Cordoba. He brought the history and culture to life and showed us beautiful spots we never would have found on our own. He provided amazing food recommendations. Alvaro went above and beyond; he made our tour enjoyable and made us feel like locals! Found great snacks and bathrooms along the way. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience Cordoba!
I have nothing but great things to say about tours with Alvaro. We did 3 different days with him and they were all outstanding. Alvaro is very knowledgeable and professional as attested by all the information we received. You can also tell that he is very proud of being from Sevilla and having a great knowledge of the area in general. His English is very good and he has a great demeanor. Would highly recommend him to anyone else thinking about using him for any tours.
5 stars are not enough for the wonderful tour we had with Alvaro. Perfectly customized to suit our interests. One of the best tours we have ever had.
A wonderful tour with professor Alvaro. We were blown away by the cathedral dropped into a mosque. Which is why it’s referred to as the mosque cathedral (naturally). Absolutely mind-blowing. Alvaro also set us up with lunch in a fabulous restaurant serving authentic regional dishes.
-Starting in SEVILLE, we are 1h 30m driving distance to Córdoba from Seville. -In CÓRDOBA, we will visit the highlights: *Mezquita (Mosque) *Sinagoge *Jewish Quarter *Palace of the CHRISTIAN Kings. -After lunch in a typical bar, in the way back to Seville we can stop in CARMONA to see how the muslim taste can be touched in any place of Andalucía. -Important. If we do this tour in Monday , the Alcazar and Sinagogue will be closed . Alternatively, we can visit other sites if the city and/or visit other monuments. Please contact me for a customized tour!
