Informative and Fascinating Tour of Jerez - Rosa was an amazing tour guide. She helped us meet up with the tour even though we’d had a travel delay and were late, which was a kindness! She gave the tour in both English and Spanish and was excellent at going back and forth. She didn’t shortchange either language group, and her English was perfect. It was honestly impressive how she managed it so smoothly. The tours of both the Alcazar and Cathedral were detailed and informative. Rosa made the history come alive with her passion and storytelling. We learned a lot and had an excellent experience.

Superb walking tour, Lucia was excellent - Lucia was incredible!! So knowledgble in history and art (she's an art restorer!), and a great sense of humor. She has a very engaging style and speaks excellent English, and we were able to have a number of detailed discussions with her. She gave us a whole new understanding and appreciate for Jerez. We couldn't have done better!!

An excellent tour and tour guide! - Lucia was a wonderful guide who enthusiastically showed us around Jerez. History and art are her passions and it showed with her knowledge of the Alcazar and the Cathedral. It rained during our two hour tour but the four of us so enjoyed all the history and information she provided. Her English is virtually fluid. She also provided places to eat as well as suggestions on other sights to see. We would love to give her 6 stars for this tour. Don’t hesitate to book this tour. You will learn so much!

Don't miss it. - A very pleasant experience. With Lucia, time is running short. He is an amazing person, with a deep knowledge of the places he shows and a taste for the culture and art he infects. It made our stay in Jerez very easy. We can't say there's anything wrong or better. The price is very much in line with what is offered. Fran and I congratulate you on your work.

Great introduction to Jerez - Negatives; It was hard to locate our guide as the meeting point was very busy and she did not have a board/uniform or anything to help identify herself. The tour lasted 30/45 minutes longer than advertised because the guide had to deliver it in two languages. Viator does state this may occur but if you are tight for time be aware of this. Positives; guide was very informative, engaging and friendly with an awesome standard of English. Entrance tickets to the cathedral and casa were included and we were given a guided tour of each which was just at the right level for us. Would recommend as an introduction to Jerez and its history.

Great city tour - Alcazar was closed but we were told that in advance. Guide Rose told us all about it though, together with the historical story of Jerez, sherry making and a tour of the cathedral and surrounds. Very knowledgeable and a fun guide. English was very good.
