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.

Amazing experience in Andalusia history. We visited a farm that has been working the land for 6 generations. Their knowledge, passion and respect to the animals was at the forefront of how they run their business. A wonderful experience that also educated us on how to choose the quality of jamon. Our guide David, was also knowledgeable, patient and flexible on what we wanted to see and the experience we wanted . A thouroughly wonderful day all around! Thank you David!

One of the highlights of our trip. Being out in the countryside/dehesa, seeing the majestic pigs in their element, and seeing all the intricate steps of the curing process was incredible. We had a great lunch at Montecruz and the chef prepared us some fresh mushrooms he procured that morning. The tour of the Grutas / caves was the icing on the cake. I had no idea on the size and detail.

David single handedly made our time in Seville worth the trip! Punctual, flexible, and simultaneously taught us a lot about Spanish culture, plus, we had a blast!!! We got to meet the pigs!!! The farm is beautiful and the representative from the factory was also fantastic. Then we toured the factory and saw every step of the process and then tasted it. It was so good we left with a bunch. Then we ate tapas and visited the caves - perfect day! We had so much fun we booked another tour with David!
