Isabel was very informative and was able to answer questions. The last time I was there, I did not get to do a tour. I didn't realize how much information there was to be missed. Isabel was amazing.

The guide (Rocio) was great, she made the visit much better than expected and that did not start well, since we were given as a meeting point in front of the entrance door of the Mosque-Cathedral instead of in front of the entrance of the Alcazar, where it was correct, which happened to about 10 people, but the good work of Rocio made the visit was great.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to describe the various historical aspects very vividly and clearly. Although new guests were assigned to her every hour, she took into account the guests' different levels of prior knowledge. Without the tour, we would have missed out on the very complex and exciting connections.
