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.

If you are coming to Seville, you must enjoy the real Spanish experience, and that means learning about the Old Town of Seville, and of course, trying the traditional snacks and pastries that come from a long tradition. We will "time travel" through the centuries of Sevillian history and see the print this left in the city center. We start at Plaza Virgen de los Reyes, in front of the Cathedral, visit Santa Cruz and Plaza de España, and end at Torre del Oro, by the river. With this tour, you will see the importance of the many buildings and hidden gems in some areas of this magical historical downtown, and I am sure you will be greatly surprised by the amount of secrets that Seville has to offer and that you can only find out about in a guided tour!
