City Tours
Spain and Portugal
Spanish and Portuguese cities are built with layer after layer of history and concentrate, as everywhere else nowadays, most of the population. Therefore they are a must if you want to get to know a country and its culture. They also make a great counter balance to your time enjoying nature and rural culture.
Today´s easy access to tons of information allows for easy independent exploring in cities, but we think that our city guided tours can be useful in two ways.
If you are short of time and you want to grasp the history of the city in one concentrated session, an official guide will help you achieve this in a couple of hours.
If you have some more time in the city, this standard visit can be combined with a more personal tour of the city with one of our local guides. We believe the best way to get to know a city it´s through the eyes of a local that can take you around, mixing the history of the city with an insight into the day to day life of the city. This means that you might focus less in the list of Medieval kings but learn about today´s cultural life of the city, its economical and social troubles or the latest urban development plans.
The Iberian Peninsula´s three major cities, Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon, are vibrant busy towns where you can take the pulse of the country´s history and present. But there is also an amazing array of middle size towns that will show you the variety of the Iberian regions: Bilbao, Pamplona, Zaragoza, Girona, Seville, Granada, Porto, Evora….the list is large and attractive! All of them are full of interest and allow for lots of more specific activities such as art and history tours, cooking classes, foodie experiences, language stays..etc
