FEEL, EXPERIENCE SEVILLE LIKE A NATIVE! Hello! I am Carmen from Seville. Ring a bell? But now I'm a guide, and perhaps not just any other guide, or what do you think?. Yes, I used to roll cigars, remember? But those days are gone and now I will not even dare have your eyes roll, but just to admire and gaze at the full beauty of my Seville, the city where I was born, the city I love and I will make you love too. The old tobacco Factory? Funny, I never left it, since it was then turned into a University, and there I ended up taking my BA in English language. And true to my gypsy roots, I also travelled the world a bit and even lived in England for five years And back to my city, I have to say that it is not just the home of the world's largest Gothic cathedral or of one of the most exquisite arabesque palaces in Western Europe, but it is also the city of Carmen: full of life, energy, passion, exoticism and light. The light I would like to use to colour your experience of Seville, with interesting anecdotes, lots of humor, wit and good conversation. Conventional tours are not my style. In the past as we strolled along the Guadalquivir River: "Oh Merimé, how sweet of you to hum those seguidillas for me. Such beautiful music!" But what about the "manzanillas"? You will now ask -in the present. Oh! those I would like to drink with you my dear guest". Leave Carmen to guide you at her pace and her own way! I have been working as a guide for twenty years and after that accumulated experience, I have realized that the secret of my success is enjoying my tours. I am not a conventional guide and therefore neither are my tours. To discover Seville doesn't have to mean running from monument to monument cramming your head with facts, but to be able to enjoy the full experience of it, since the city opens to a whole diversity of activities. Besides, same as the rest of my colleagues, I can also guarantee: Skipping the lines A full licensed guide Tons of experience Trust me! You shouldn't miss my tour.

Why you should take the tour to the White villages ? This is an outstanding scenic trip to the heart of the real Andalusia, a unique combination of beautiful southern countryside and white Moorish villages. This singular romantic destination has been a refuge of many famed travellers and well known personalities such as Orson Wells and Ernest Hemingway. Let me surprise you with the stunning Zahara de la Sierra, a village of serpentine narrow streets, perched on top of a massive rock. There, we will enjoy a tasting of its local products. After this gastronomic experience, we will head towards the stunning Ronda and its breathtaking 100 m deep gorge and its beautiful sights to an ancient variety fir trees remant of the ice aged, unique in the world and today a Biosphere Reserve.

We had an amazing day in Setenil de Las Bodegas and Ronda with Carmen! She was able to keep all of us engaged… Ages 21 to 83! Carmen was very patient! We had different goals for the tour and she was up for the challenge. Carmen has an amazing knowledge of the area and an enthusiastic, inviting and warm energy about her. We can’t recommend her enough!
My wife and I spent a wonderful day learning the history of Andalusia and visiting Zahara de la Sierra and Rhonda. Carmen has a wealth of knowledge and is a joy to spend time with. Highly recommended!
We were a family of six adults traveling from the United States. Carmen, was absolutely amazing. She is extremely personable and easy going. We traveled in an extremely comfortable van with a professional driver who was very nice. Carmen knew all the perfect picture spots, eateries and sights. The white villages were a spectacular sight. The day was perfect. I highly recommend her services.
I can't imagine visiting Ronda and the White Villages for the first time without a guide. And Carmen is the perfect guide to have. Very cordial and very professional, she provided us with a wealth of knowledge of the area as well as the towns of Zahara and Ronda. We were engaged in conversation from the beginning to the end of the full day tour. Carmen's English is outstanding and her friendly personality made this tour a real pleasure. We highly recommend Carmen for this fantastic tour.
