As a mother with two children, this was not it. Boring, exhausting for my smallest child and none of us learned anything from here. Stay away!

Ms Jamilah booked accommodations that we were happy with and arranged all the logistics for us prior to our trip within the short time frame that we gave her. We had a very friendly and accommodating tour guide who accompanied us throughout our trip. Mr Hernan Cortes made our stay in Spain & Lisbon much better and we wished still that we could have stayed there longer and explore more of Spain.

The first travel around the world. "" ... and this path that this ship made was the greatest and newest thing that since God raised the first man was seen. "" Welcome to the heart of the city of Seville, where a team of hosts awaits you ready to accompany you and create a unique experience for this traveling chapter that you are about to start. The expedition of Magellan and Elcano was the first to "" travel and discover all the roundness of the world "" in the words of Juan Sebastián de Elcano himself. This happened between 1519 and 1522, when the means of navigation were still incredibly rudimentary, and life on board these primitive ships lacked any comfort or security. Furthermore, it was a journey into the unknown, which was not going to have any possibility of receiving help, and full of possible dangers.

Inclusions: Local guide and professional expert in History, 90 Minutes tour and Stories and Legends

Exclusions: Entrance to the visited monuments, Optional tip

I rented a bike from them for the 950 km journey to Santiago and I could not of made a better choice. Their service was outstanding. When my hotel would not permit me to store the bike on the first night they opened their store for me on Sunday so I could set off on time. When I experienced problems due probably to the 36 degree heat and jet lag they brought me another bike. They arranged for me to drop off the bike in Santiago at the conclusion of my journey. Sofia was my main contact during the complete process and she was excellent. Can’t say enough good things about her and the company.

I was recently in Seville with my wife and another couple. When Western Civilization was taught in school when I was a kid in the US, it was all about England and the Italian Renaissance. Antonio gave us a wonderful course in the 3000 year history of Spain in 2 hours. He is very knowledgeable. Aside from the content of what he said, he has an unusual gift to explain the complicated history in plain and simple terms and does it so patiently. My wife and I have been in almost every European country over the last 15 years and I can say with question that Antonio is the best tour guide we have ever had.
