Our guide, Ashara, was very knowledgeable and gave us the complete history of the Mequita, which was exactly what we hoped to get from the tour. Muchas gracias Ashara. Booking online was simple and arrangements to join the tour were clear and easy to follow. Would recommend without hesitation.

The quality of the guide, very high, his clarity and his competence and passion. The place is beautiful in itself but without the very broad and comprehensive approach it would have been much more difficult to understand the meaning of many things.

The tickets were simple to book and, boy, were we pleased we did! The trour was absolutely amazing and the guide, Jaime, was fantastic! So much so that we booked on the trip of the Jewish area and the Alcazar as well, in all 4 hours! He was so informative but also funny and entertaining! We were reluctant to do a tour but so pleased we did in the end. could not recommend it more highly!
