I thoroughly enjoyed the medieval tour of Cadiz! My guide was engaging, knowledgeable and witty. She provided deep insight regarding Cadiz’s medieval history, culture and sociopolitical reality. The visit to the Cathedral was incredible. The time spent learning about the cathedral’s construction, artwork, confessionals, chorus, alter and relics in the underground chamber was time well spent! My tour was bilingual in Spanish and English and there were 2 Spanish speakers in the group. As a native English speaker, the bilingual nature of the tour did not detract from my tour experience. My tour concluded at the tower. The payoff for climbing the stairs provided incredible panoramic views of the city, bay and ocean. I asked many questions and my guide provided thoughtful explanations which directly contributed to my tour experience. I rate this tour 11 out of 10!

It was a very hot day so Marta requested we go later in the day and made sure we kept to the shadowed side of the streets. There wasn’t too much walking involved, but we didn’t notice as she shared so much history and information with us. She took us through the cathedral which was lovely and cool and we basically had it to ourselves. This really enhanced our enjoyment of Cadiz and was well worth the cost.

This tour is brilliant. We knew Cadiz had a rich history but didn’t know any real detail. Our guide Martha was superb. Her wealth and depth of knowledge was truly impressive. While she was describing details I could build a picture I my head bringing the whole depiction to life. Her passion and enthusiasm was infectious demonstrated when we visited the vault of ‘Catedral de Cadiz’. As we entered the vault she saw two bored children. She told them to stand in the very middle where it possible to play with the echo. They loved it. Martha showed and told us so much about the city including a wealthy merchants house with two turrets, the metal on the corners of the houses, the amphitheatre (the largest outside Rome) that was only discovered in the 1980’s and of course the cathedral. We both loved the tour and the local agent was fantastic and sorting out an early glitch which we were very grateful for.
