As a historian I like to show the monuments of the city but I especially enjoy talking about our local culture. This is Sevilla, so we can talk about soccer, tapas, processions, flamenco, and of course, our wines! I like to visit places that normally are not included in the traditional visitor's circuit. Let me take you to the charming market of Feria Street, a cloister convent where to eat a sweet. The views from the other side of the river are beautiful, specially if you go during the "blue hour". I love to travel all the time. I have been in UK, France, Italy, Egypt, Frech Polynesia, India, Madison Wisconsin, New York City, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Croatia, Portugal, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Cerdeña, Córcega, Sicily, Ireland, Canada, . . . I got married in 2006 and have two beautiful princesses, Elsa (2012) and Emma (2017). History and music are an important part of my life. I am lucky to live in Sevilla but really lucky because my job it is to show you not only the monuments , the gastronomy but specially the soul of Sevilla. Forget about the time, we need no maps, just enjoy as we are in Sevilla! History degree (1993-1998) Official licensed guide since 2001. Manager of a tourist company since 1999. Writer of the book "Semana Santa in Sevilla" (2001)

If you like History and roman ruins, leaving Sevilla without visiting Italica would be a sin. It is only 9 kilometres from Sevilla. The treasure of the place is the third roman anphitheatre of the roman empire, up to 25. 000 spectators. Gladiators and exotic beasts fighted there, did they also represented navy battles ? We just need to know that it was the birthplace of the roman emperors Trajan and Hadrian to get to know the great importance of this emblematic place. As a historian let me show you the roman toiletes, the games they played at the entrance of the anphiteather or the sculptures discovered in Italica. I will show you with my tablet videos where to compare the ruins and a reconstruccion of Italica in the roman period.
José Alfonso is a wonderful guide. His knowledge of Italica's history is incredible, including the association with the Game of Thrones series. Our visit to Italica was a wonderful experience. Seeing so many mosaic floors in the former villas, and the must see amphitheater are vivid memories. We will definitely be back to see more of Italica, and of course will choose José Alfonso as our guide.
Jose / Pepe was great. He works well with your group and is flexible with our schedule. We hope to have him as a guide again the next time we are in Seville.
Unbelievable place with an unbelievable guide. Jose, a/k/a Pepe is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and just a true pleasure to be with. Don't miss this tour with Pepe. He does NOT disappoint!!
We spent a half a day with José mainly touring Italica, a Roman settlement near Seville. José was very knowledgeable, personable and open to answering our questions. Having him walk us around the site added immensely to our understanding of this period of history. We were disappointed when our time with José ended. While we had José show us Italica, I know he also does tours of Seville. I'm sure they are also outstanding.
-I will pick up you at your place and drive to Italica. -It is only 10 minutes drive from Sevilla. -Get ready to enjoy a beautiful roman city, mosaics, ruins, sculptures, houses and my favourite, the amphiteather. -We will fell like gladiators so we are allow to walk in the arena. -Do not forget your camera so there is a view point so especial. -Once we finish the tour I will get you back to Sevilla. *If you want to combine Italica with another place just let me know and I can create a customized tour for you!
