My name is David and my passion is to make sure that people have a nice time. Although I am a true Sevillian and know every single corner of this city but I'm also an avid traveler, who has done his fair bit of traveling and discovering other cultures and customs. I study biology and specialized in marine biology. This gave me the chance to do a lot of sailing, diving and spending many hours at the sea visiting different ports and beaches in Andalusian coastline. After many years of working as a biologist I finally decided to follow my passion for traveling and my talent for looking after people and started my career as a private guide. Being a native Sevillan and the fact of having traveled a lot both allowed me to know exactly what visitors in a new city are looking for. With this in sight, I have designed a wide range of different tours and activities that offer an alternative point of view of Seville, far from the touristy routes, and enable people to gain a detailed overview of Seville before exploring the city on their own. These tours are also perfect for people, who are only here for a day or two and who want to make the most of their limited time here. I also offer tours and activities for families with kids who need to do something more interesting and funny than just walk between old buildings and monuments. Among the many tours that I could offer, you will find themed walking tours, fun bike or electric bike tours, tasty tapas tour that will make you never forget Seville and its tapas, kayak tours, delicious yet informative cooking classes, excursions to National Parks and charming villages that include it all: beaches, sightseeing, animals, hiking, swimming. . . Just ask me what you would like to do and experience and I shall be able to design a tour tailored to your wishes. As for languages, I provide tours in English and Spanish. I suggest all visitors to book my tours for their first day in Sevilla, so that they get to see the best that Seville has to offer and then they go exploring for the rest of their stay armed with a lot of instructions and recommendations from me. I accept individuals and ideally groups of between 2 - 6. But I could run bigger groups too. As mentioned before I have a passion for customising the tours for you depending on what you want to do and the time you have available. I do not and will not take a commission from any type of establishment. If you need some information about restaurants, hotels, shows or shops, I will just suggest you the best of them depending what you are looking for but never depending on my commission. My tours and activities are real experiences. And the last but not the least, I am passionate about traveling and communicating with people from different cultures. I am a music lover and amateur percussionist and I love food and wine, bikes and nature, people and people.

I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments but I could find an official guide if you need one.

Have you heard of the spectacular Doñana National Park or the charming village of El Rocio? Have you heard people talk about the wild and windswept beaches of the Costa de la Luz? Now you have the option of enjoying an amazing day out visiting the unique village of El Rocio, discovering the beautiful scenery in Doñana National Park; home to thousands of birds and unique ecosystems, and soaking up the sun or taking a dip in the Atlantic Ocean on the Costa de la Luz. An extra option includes a ride in a 4 by 4 through the National Park or a horse riding tour through the park and its beaches. My first job when I finished my degree in Biology was as a guide in this National Park, so imagine how much do I know this area and let me take you to one of my favourite places in Andalusia. One of my passions is birdwatching and I am sure after this tour it will be yours as well!
We had a wonderful day riding horses and exploring Spain’s beautiful national park. This tour exceeded expectations
David was a very helpful guide. He was full of information and answered our many questions. It was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the city. El Rocio and Doñanas were fascinating. We were a bit concerned when the weather turned a bit wet but instead it was a good thing. It brought out animal ad beautiful cloud formations. The area is very special.
David's trip to Doñana National Park was AMAZING!!! He had so much knowledge about the wildlife, natural communities and conservation efforts and challenges. He was also super open to adjusting his typical itinerary to give us the opportunity to focus more on birding. We also had a wonderful lunch in El Rocio. In addition to working with the chef to pick out the freshest items, he gave us a lot of tips on ordering food which we were able to use for the rest of the trip.
David was an excellent guide taking us to El Rocío was really interesting, learning the history about the village and the religious ceremony, then taking us to various different areas in the National Park to see all the different birds and plants. He was very knowledgeable about the fauna and flora. Such a lovely fish lunch in a restaurant overlooking the sea and then to see the sand dunes before our trip in a 4 x 4 around more areas of the park. He made us feel at easy at all times during the tour
David is a great guide who created a wonderful experience for us in Donana. He was very clear in presenting various options, both before and during the tour, to customize it to meet our interests and needs. He has extensive knowledge of the birds, animals, plant-life and communities of the area and clearly enjoyed sharing this with us. He made sure to have extra binoculars and bird books on hand. We would gladly book another tour with David.
We were delighted with our day. It started with David managing to bring his car right to the tiny street in Seville where our hotel was. He was such an expert at identifying all the many birds we saw and took us to some excellent locations - never seen so many flamingos before! Lunch was tapas in an unassuming bodega in El Rocio then onward for more birding. David really tailored the day around what we wanted to do. All in all a very rewarding experience! Anne and Malcolm
After Hotel pick up we will drive from Seville to El Rocío during 50 min. - Once in the charming village of El Rocío we'll have a stop to savor a coffee or have a typical breakfast (optional but highly recommendable). - After visiting El Rocío and its picturesque church we will have a walk of approximately 1hr through the National Park. - Afterwards, we will visit the interpretation center of the park and the marshland which can present a very different landscape depending on the recent rain fall. - Then we will walk through the National Park to an untouched beach belonging to the protected area. There we will have the chance to have a swim in the Atlantic Ocean and enjoy the view of the cliffs. - For lunch we can either buy sandwiches to have a picnic on the beach or have fresh fish on a restaurant close to the beach (to be decided on the spot). - After a full day of sun, sea and extraordinary nature we will arrive at the hotel around 6. 30 pm. - All depends on the extra activities(horses or 4x4)
