Cadiz To Vista De Gaviota : Visit The Tavira Tower And Camera Obscura

Huge thanks to Alejandro for the most amazing tour. Perfect amount of information. He is charming and we loved every minute. Thanks

Fascinating experience made all the more enjoyable by Alejandro's humour & personality. Don't go through expensive agents, book direct. www.torretavira.com

Alejandro was a great guide very passionate about his city and tour it was a unique experience seeing the sites and learning the history.

What a great tour! So interesting and informative. Our guide Alejandro was funny, flexible (we needed to adjust our arrival time after some travel delays), and told us heartwarming stories about the city and its little nuances. He clearly has a passion for the history of the city. The camera obscura was unlike anything that we had seen and was so neat. The drink at the end was a beautiful way to cap off the afternoon.

Alejandro was knowledgeable and passionate about Cádiz, and shared his love of Cadiz with the group. Thanks for the journey around Cadiz.

This tour was one of the best tours we have ever been on. Alejandro was was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Cadiz which makes him a great tour guide. He seemed to really enjoy aharing the little details of his city which we would have never figured out on our own. We would highly recommend taking this tour. You will be glad you did!

Alejandro was an engaging, Cádiz loving guide. Not only did he describe both the history and reason the Torre Tavira existed but brought to life the way Cádiz became so important as the major port to the Americas & world beyond. His English was excellent & he was able to describe the whole history within the tower which is only described in Spanish. The tour also included an excellent walk around the local area , Alejandro brought it to life, showing us everything from special street lights to sculptures, to where the merchants & bankers lived. He explained beautifully how they would have lived, & showed us how the merchant houses have been changed over the years, some more so than others. Can’t recommend this tour more highly, it’s enlightening & historically interesting but most of all fun!

It was a great time and experience. Alejandro was a great guide and was very patient with us as we had a few hiccups and arrived later than expected but he was kind and waited and still showed us a great time! He knew a lot about the area and was able to answer all of our questions and even took the time to get to know us on a personal level. We definitely look forward to going on another tour and if he is the guide it's a no brainer!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Alejandro, was excellent, friendly, and knowledgable. I would definitely recommend this tour. If you're visiting Cadiz for a few days, I would recommend doing this on the first day, as you will get some ideas about where you want to visit.

We were part of a small group of 5 which was refreshing when you see huge hoards of folk on some tours. So very intimate tour. Very knowledgeable guide. Alejandro very pleasant and answered all my questions and queries. Lovely experience especially learning about the merchants' houses and how they were built to serve particular purposes. Alejandro also suggested we visit the large scale model of the city at the Museum of the Constitution which we did the next day which was very impressive. Thanks 😊

The tour was an amazing experience to see Cádiz from a different perspective. After, you see the city with different eyes! Alejandro showed us the many facettes Cadiz has to offer, explained interesting facts about history and culture and how it connects to architecture. The view from the Tavira Tower is phenomenal and it was great to have our guide with us answering all our questions! We ended the tour at another rooftop for a drink, again with stunning views of the city! I would definetly recommend the tour, in fact next time I will be in Cádiz, i would probably do it again!

This tour is quite new and uses the Torres Tower to explain the significance Cádiz and the way merchants communicated with ships bringing supplies. Our guide Alex was fun and informative and we learnt loads about Cádiz. It was a personal touch to finish at a rooftop bar which wasn’t in the beaten trail.

We really enjoyed this tour and it definitely enhanced our stay in Cadiz. Our guide, Alejandro, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his city and paced the tour well making us stop and look up and stop and look down. Cadiz is like a labyrinth and whilst it’s great to wander round and get lost there’s definitely an advantage to being guided around by someone who knows the city well. The inclusion of a drink in the rooftop bar at the end of the tour is a nice touch.

Amazing tour during which you can see some amazing viewpoints and hidden gems of Cadiz. The guide was very knowledgable and shared a lot of info!

My family came to visit from the US and I wanted to show them the amazingness of Cádiz. I'm so glad we ended up doing this tour and got Alejandro as our guide. He really made the city come to life with his enthusiasm and fun facts throughout the tour. We all learned so much and were entertained the whole time. Highly recommend!

Alejandro was our guide, we had a great time with him, you can tell he enjoys showing us around Cádiz. We visited the Tavira Tower and finished the tour with a beer in a very cool place. Highly recommended.

Alejandro was a ten-out-of-ten guide: very professional, approachable, and, above all, hilarious. We learned a lot and enjoyed the visit to the Tavira Tower and its spectacular views from above even more. A totally recommended experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A wonderful and amazing spectacular day. My experience on the Tavira Tower tour was very good. The climb is worth the panoramic views of Cadiz, which are spectacular and allow you to better understand the city from above. The Camera Obscura was undoubtedly the most surprising thing about the visit. It is a very curious and different experience, and it is made even more interesting thanks to the explanations of the guide. The guide was very professional, close and pleasant. He explained everything clearly, with a touch of humor, and you could see that he knew well the history and functioning of the Tower. It also resolved doubts and made the visit dynamic and entertaining. Although there are many stairs, the visit is not heavy and the route is spectacular. It is a highly recommended activity if you visit Cadiz, especially on a first visit, I recommend choosing this company, thank you very much!!

The tour with Alejandro has been magnificent. He answered all our questions very well and all his explanations were very interesting. The very successful route. Fully recommend the tour with him!

How fortunate to have travelled Cadiz with Juanjo. The visit was amazing. He knows every corner of the city and his passion for history and legends is instantly perceived. Transform the streets into living narratives. It is close and very helpful. If you are looking for a top guide in Cadiz, for its human quality and knowledge, it is the best choice.

I had the opportunity to meet Cadiz and take a guided tour with Alba and I was very happy and satisfied by both the knowledge of her and the love and passion with which she has and transmitted everything, a 10. Someone who loves and knows their city and gets to pass the same thing on to others. Fully recommended

The tour has been a 10, it has been a wonderful tour accompanied by an exceptional guide, thank you for the experience!! Thank you very much

We did the tour and the view without making the camera but it was already great, the view is beautiful and unmissable for a visit to Cadiz

I was lucky enough to do a tour with Juanjo in Cadiz and it was a fantastic experience. You can rating that he knows the city like the back of his hand and conveys history, anecdotes and corners with incredible passion. His way of explaining makes every street and every square come alive. Also, it is very close, friendly and always waiting to resolve any questions. Without a doubt, if you want to discover Cadiz for real, with someone professional and friendly, I recommend Juanjo 100%.

The visit was also interesting, very fun thanks to Alejandro who at all times explained everything very well and very professionally. A great guide and better person.

Fun, enriching and very interesting to walk the streets with the guide Alejandro, who is telling you the historical, architectural and cultural facts of the city in detail, enthusiasm and closeness. We share the magnificent views of Cadiz from the Tavira viewpoint tower, contemplating how the rooftops and viewpoints are fitted is a delight, to which adds a curious and wide perspective of the city from the camera obscura. At the end of the tour, relaxed talk and refreshment included on a hidden roof, personal touch of the guide and perfect farewell place of the route. We have to go back to Cadiz! Thank you🙂

Nice walking tour in the old town of Cádiz. Between the Tavira tower and a rooftop, strolling through streets lined with private mansions, with patios, described enthusiastically by our guide Alejandro

The visit was excellent. A unique and enriching work of explanation. I would repeat without a doubt, it is always nice to live different experiences that help you learn and also do it in a pleasant way.

Wow, what a guide! Accustomed to this kind of visit in various cities of the world, this one deserves the detour! You can be guided by Juan José with your eyes closed, he will punctuate your trip with many enriching anecdotes. Special mention for the drink on the rooftop.

Delighted with the experience. The Guide was very funny and was able to show us Top-rated corners of this beautiful city with interesting and curious anecdotes. Recommended 100%.

I have loved it, I am from here and I have never appreciated the things we have in the city. I loved it and I find it super interesting, an experience that everyone should live. 👌🏼

Highly recommended.. We loved it, it got very short. I recommend it 100 percent. A nice tour to take many photos

Recommended! I like everything (talk, views, experiences) you appreciate too much professionalism. Thank you very much!

Visit the best of the old town of the oldest city in the West, lookout towers, watchtowers, visit to the darkroom, spectacular views, Cadiz at your feet, with final surprise on the roof typical of the city refreshment included. You want to repeat.

The tour has been very interesting, we visited the Tavira Tower which is the highest point in Cadiz and you can see the whole city and we ended up having a wine on one of the typical rooftops of Cadiz. It was a fantastic experience, I patch it up.

The enthusiasm he squanders in explaining every aspect, story, anecdote of every viewpoint, rooftop and other aspects of the city is infectious. You learn and enjoy at the same time. I recommend it without a doubt!!

I went with my partner and the experience was amazing. In particular I would highlight Alejandro, an exceptional guy who helped us at all times and was very friendly, it seemed as if we knew him all our lives. 100% recommended.

It is a very different and entertaining route, to see Cadiz from this new perspective is amazing. Guide Alejandro is very friendly and does a great job. I recommend 100%

He had already been to Cadiz several times, but never with a Guide. My vision of the city changed with every detail that the Alejandro Guide taught us. I recommend the route without a doubt to all new visitors and those like me who thought they already knew the city!

A unique and very beautiful experience. I've been to Cadiz before but never like this. Alejandro was very friendly and Pro. I would repeat again!

I had been to Cadiz before, but they recommended this route and I can not be more satisfied. Rooftop views are another world, and Alejandro is a very friendly and specialized Guide. A 10 out of 10.

Very entertaining visit to know parts of the history of Cadiz. The Tavira Tower is interesting and so is the rest of the route. Our Guide was Alejandro, we had a great time with him. We ended up having a few beers and chatting in a spectacular place.
