I have always been passionate about history, geography, travel, and different cultures—a love I inherited from my family. My father, a pilot and history enthusiast, would quiz me on world flags and maps, while my mother, who adores languages and books, played English music and films without subtitles to help me learn. Growing up, my sisters and I traveled frequently, which shaped our careers—while I became a political scientist and historical heritage interpreter, one sister became an architect, and the other an artist and designer. After moving between countries seven times, my family finally settled in Seville, a city I fell in love with when I was eight years old. I was mesmerized by its rich history and stunning architecture. Years later, I decided to specialize in Historical Heritage Interpretation at university so I could share my passion for this incredible city with others. In 2017, I started working in tourism as a cultural manager, designing tours. Many visitors would ask if I was a guide, so I decided to take the Tour Guide Public Exam. Now, as a certified tour guide, I bring history to life by blending real facts with fascinating legends, always adding my own personality to make the experience fun and engaging. My tours are never robotic or scripted; they are dynamic, entertaining, and full of passion for Seville’s heritage. I can also customize the tours to fit each traveler’s interests—your wish is my command! 🎓 I'm certified as Official Tour Guide via public examinations (I have three licenses: Guide ID Nº 2114, GA-5424 and GHP00256). 🏛 University Specialization Diploma in Historic Heritage Interpretation, with a Degree in Political Science and European Studies. I have a Masters Degree in International Relations; and another Masters Degree in Historic Heritage, Art and Museums (my thesis was about Jewish Heritage in Seville). ✡ Diploma in Jewish History of Spain, by the Jewish Quarters Network Association in Spain. 📜 I'm the first person to be professionally certified as Historical Heritage Interpreter in Andalucía via new public certifications. 📜 Diploma in Cultural Management. 📜 Diploma in Chinese for Tourism by the Government of Aragon (plus official certificate HSK3 -former B1- level of Mandarin Chinese) 🏛 Founder of a small Tour Agency: ALTAI Turismo Sevilla. 🗺 I'm listed in the Tourism Registration catalog of Andalusia. 🛡 I have a public liability insurance. I am not a driver. I do not organize excursions/transfers.

Registered in 1987 by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites, the Royal Alcazar Palace and the Cathedral of Seville are two places that you definitely need to visit when in Seville. I am going to make sure you understand the importance of these two monumental buildings for the history and even for the current life of the city. We will meet at the heart of Seville, the Plaza del Triunfo, and from there we will start our visit of these two magnificent constructions, including the Giralda Tower. From the Umayyad Caliphate, through the Almohad dynasty, the Golden Age of Seville, and all the way to the present day, you will understand the reason behind the location of these buildings, including the also important Archive of the Indies. Fall in love with the vast gardens of the Alcazar, where Game of Thrones was filmed, and get lost in the beauty of this complex of different palaces. To make sure everything goes smoothly, I will book your tickets in advance, the price of these tickets is included in the total.
