Lucia was a very good guide- engaging and very interesting on the history and culture of this lovely city. She was happy to answer questions and it was lovely to see her enthusiasm for the place.

A really interesting walk around Jerez. Luisa was a fabulous guide. Her passion for Jerez shines through and the information about the different architecture she pointed out to us was interesting and easily understood. She was also full of little anecdotes about day to day life in the city which really added to the experience. She has a masterful grasp of English which meant we didn't miss a thing. Our tour started at 11.00am and we were told to meet in Plaza del Arenal. This is a big square and despite being there at 10.30am we only found the guide at 11.00am! A more precise meeting point is required.
