Carlos was our guide and was perfect in every way. His knowledge of the history and culture is amazing. He is the nicest person and so accommodating. I would hire him again and indeed we requested him for our two additional tour days after having him for the first day. I would give him 6 stars not just 5!

Carlos Santiago was the best tour guide ever. We enjoyed him so much. We requested to have him for three days. He was brilliant with both cultural and historical knowledge. Knew all the right places and people as well as places for food and great things to find and learn about. We have decided to adopt him as our Spanish younger brother.
I enjoyed a great solo trip with Joan to Cadiz and Jerez. Also had lost a credit card in my travels and Masha was very helpful and assuring that I still had a spot for the tour when my credit card was declined. So she was very helpful also. We toured around Cadiz old town and the marketplace. Then we went to Jerez for the sherry wine tasting and that was very good tour also. Joan pointed out things along the way to and from Seville which I greatly appreciated.
We had a wonderful day in Cadiz and Jerez. Joan was an exceptional guide, very competent but also full of fun and music. The tours, the food, the sherry tasting all excellent and perfectly organized.
My guide was friendly and informative. He knew his history of the areas that we covered. He was very helpful and accommodating. We went to Cadiz and to Jerez. Turned out to be a beautiful day. Sherry tasting was also great!
We had a lovely day learning the history of Cadiz, exploring the city and the market. We finished with a Sherry tasting at Cayetano del Piino and a delicious lunch in the center of Jerez. Our guide, Carlos was great- friendly, very knowledgeable, and took good care of us throughout the day.
Oscar is a courteous, knowledgeable host making this excursion an enjoyable and memorable one. He cared about our needs and adapted the tour to accommodate them. Many thanks for the experiences and insights we shared on the tour.
Thank you Oscar for a wonderful day in Cadiz. Your passion and historic knowledge is amazing and it’s lovely to see how much you love your work. Not only an unforgettable day, but you made it completely tailored and personal to our love of history, arts and local food. We look forward to seeing you again here or in New Zealand. Muchas Gracias Rachel and Adam
Our tour guide Oscar did a fantastic job. He was very polite and extremely knowledgeable about all the sites and the town. He was very easy to talk to and made our day tour a great trip!
My friend Alice and I had a fantastic day tour from Sevilla to Cádiz and Jerez! Our guide, Carlos, was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, making the experience even more enjoyable. The sherry tasting at Lustau was a highlight, and our lunch at La Carbona in Jerez was absolutely delicious. A perfect blend of culture, wine, and great company. I’ll definitely be recommending this tour to my clients. Highly recommend!
Cadiz has so much history, it was neat to walk through it. Vermont and Sherry tasting were great. Got to eat at a Michelin star restaurant in Jerez
Carlos was an amazing guide. We had a great time on the tour. Great recommendations for food. The sherry bodega was great
Carlos is a terrific guide. Friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us around the city including some unique spots. We were able to enjoy lunch and then go to out Sherry tasting. The Lustau winery was fun and we tried some great sherries and left with some!
This was a great day trip! The team went above all expectations to provide us with a personalized and knowledgeable visit to Cadiz and Jerez. The wine (sherry) tasting was at a small family run winery which provided us with the history and art of growing and producing some of the finest wine we have tasted. As it was just a group of 3 of us we were free to modify the schedule to our preferences and even dined at a Michelin star restaurant for lunch. Great tour guide, great team, and great experience.
We loved the sherry tasting and our guide Lucia. It was a very relaxed day and perfect to avoid the summer heat in Seville. Our guide even booked us in a nice restaurant where we could have more wine and do a food pairing.
The Equestria show was amazing! Sherry tasting was informative and in beautiful location. Being with Abby was like spending time with a good friend who just wants to make you happy. Since we spent a good amount of time in the car, it was great to have someone so fun and friendly. We even stopped on the way back for a photo opp in the sunflower fields. I highly recommend doing this as a private tour.
As wine lovers we arranged a few different tastings with Mahsa at Not Just a Tourist. They all were really nice and we found ourselves mostly alone in the winery while other people were standing in long lines to enter nearby wineries. We felt very fortunate about having this intimate experience. We tried 5 different varieties and the explanations were perfect. After that, our driver, Jose, took us to a great sea food restaurant in Cadiz which happened to be the best food in the entire trip. We were also offered to take our bathing suit to spend some time on a lively local beach in Cadiz. We opted to walk and explore this historic town that seems to be the oldest town in Europe filled with markets, bars and churches but had a local drink called Tinto de Verano on the beach too. It was a great summer day in Spain with great food and wine!
My friends and I booked this experience and we were very happy. The bodega was incredibly beatifull, we tried different types of sherry and received a lot of very interesting information
Fue una experiencia muy buena se aprende y disfruta mucha historia y lugares bonitos . La cata de vinos fue muy buena y el chofer muy amable y agradable
Thanks to the good and detailed advice in advance by the extremely charming and competent Mahsa, the day trip became a great experience, with all expectations met and even exceeded.
