“Spectacular and culturally super-enriching day! My experience on the day trip from Seville to Cadiz was absolutely wonderful. From the first moment, Santiago was very attentive with us, who decided to travel in pairs, for everything we needed. The trip, which starts in Seville was very enjoyable and the little more than an hour on the way flew by.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-09
