Hello travellers! My name is Carlos and I work as an official tour guide in the city where I was born: Seville. I am in love with my city and its thousand-year-old history, so I feel lucky to be able to transmit my passion for Seville through my profession. Since I was very young, I knew I wanted to become a tour guide, so I prepared myself thoroughly for it. I completed a University degree in Tourism and later a University Master's Degree in History and Heritage. When I finished my studies, I made the decision to go live abroad to continue my education and learn about other cultures, and I went to live in the United Kingdom. I spent 3 years living in different cities on the British Isles, such as London and Edinburgh. Thanks to my job, I can daily pursue personal hobbies that come from my profession, such as art, architecture, literature, languages, meeting new people and my greatest passion: showing my city to visitors. I love making my visits a memorable experience for my clients. Travelling to Seville is an experience that will make your senses vibrate. For many people, one of the most beautiful cities in the world... The setting for great blockbusters such as Star Wars or Game of Thrones. The birthplace of great artists. The city of Opera (Carmen, Don Giovanni,etc.), the Gate to the Americas... It is a city full of art and history in every corner, and what better way to discover all its secrets than with the help of a local tour guide with years of experience like me, who will make your visit in Seville a much more comfortable, enriching and fun experience.

Discover the importance that Seville had and how the city was transformed after Christopher Columbus arrived in America.
Overview of your Seville tour
We will begin the visit by heading to the old river port of the city from where the different nautical vessels set out, where we will see the exact replica of the Nao Victoria, the only ship of the first expedition that circumnavigate the world led by Magellan that returned to Seville 3 years after they left in 1519. From this point you will have an incredible view of the Triana neighborhood, an emblematic neighborhood of sailors and navigators. The visit will continue by the old shipyards, and then by the Royal Mint. Then we will visit the General Archive of the Indies. A majestic building in which all the documentation relating to trade with the Americas is stored. You will also see from outside the Royal Alcazar of Seville, where the Casa de la Contratación is located, the headquarter for controlling trade with the Americas. And to conclude, the tour will end with a visit to the Cathedral of Seville, where the tomb of Christopher Columbus, and his second legitimate son Hernando Colombus, is located.
