Welcome to Seville: the Port of the Indies, door to America and city of the Opera! My name is Enrique and I invite you to live together a unique experience where you will find mixed history and art with important doses of humour, legends and traditions. Let me show you the mystery and magic of this city through my stories and anecdotes! After getting a diploma in tourism from the University of Seville (1992), I started my career as a tour guide in 1993, when I obtained my official license. I combined this profession with other jobs in the industry, including travel agencies and hotels, always looking for new challenges. Due to personal events, I joined my family business in 2000, working in the industrial market, something different from what I have done in the past. The good side was that I got to travel a lot, attending trade shows and strengthening business partnerships with several factories abroad. Because of this, I lived for six months in Turkey, three months in Morocco and one month in Romania. I frequently visited countries like Germany, Italy and France as well. This period of my life contributed to my personal growth, giving me the tools to better understand diverse cultures, and to widen my horizons, seeing history and culture from different points of view. Back in Seville, I decided to come back to my beloved profession of tourist guide, being fully dedicated to it for the last nine years. So if you want to get a local perspective of the city, come with me and don't waste your valuable time in long queues to visit our monuments. Skip the lines with me and be ready for something different, because I don't guide tours, I make history come alive! -Diploma in Tourism 1992. -Official tourist guide license in Andalusia 1993. Nº1790 -I regularly give tours to guests of luxury hotels in Seville. -In Cádiz, Huelva and Seville ports I work with luxury cruises. -President of AUITS, official guides major association of Seville. No restrictions. I am an offical licensed guide in Seville and Andalusia. I am allowed to give tours inside historical monuments.

Overview of your Seville tour
After the first trip of Columbus to America, the Spanish crown designated Seville as the Port of the Indies, with the exclusive rights to trade with America. The Sevillian river port was safe and perfect for regulating this rich monopoly. We will visit in this tour all the buildings that still stand as silent witnesses of that golden era. We will visit The General Archive of the Indies, known by historians as "The Mecca of Americanism". This superb building contains all the documents relative to the new world. We will continue walking to "Barrio de la Moneda" former Royal Spanish mint, where all the precious metals were transformed into coins and ingots. On the way we will take a look from outside of the medieval shipyards, where "La Niña" carabel was built. We will see the old School of Navigators, finishing by the Golden Tower, where we will ship on a river cruise.
