Cadiz through the eyes of a local - A great day with Catrina.
I had an excellent day with Catrina who showed me around with a local’s eye with stories of the life there that really brought Cadiz to life and got beyond the stock history you normally get. She knew all the best spots and ready mad the day fly by. Fully recommended, when stock history tours get too much.

Amazing promenade in a face to face manner to see the city in a chilly and quiet way - Wonderful experience of a chilly, enjoyable and interesting walking tour around Cadiz with a local student who is showing you the Cadi she likes. A little bit of history. No museums. No churches (it was a sunset tour between 8 and 10pm). This is the kind of activity I like, giving me the desire to see more the next day following the advices I got today. It’s a 2hours interesting conversation about the city but also a social experience to walk along with somebody who lives in and love the city.
It’s highly recommended for solo travelers or for a couple. Not for a big group…
Many thanks to my guide Malak who was so kind to explain me a bit of Cadiz history but moreover to discuss over trees, flowers, fishermen, and university work among tens of other things. Maiak was exactly the right girl at the right place .

Fabulous Way to Spend the Day in Cadiz - This tour was delightful! We really didn't know what to expect with a Lokafy tour, but it was outstanding. It reminded me of visiting a new city with a friend and having them just walk with us around the city telling stories and places they liked, not just touristy areas. We had the pleasure of spending the day with Jack. He was so personable! He had a lot of knowledge of Cadiz and its history. We especially enjoyed the botanical gardens, seeing the market, and hearing about the religious holidays and the pageantry that goes along with them. Jack was very helpful with ordering lunch and recommendations for local cuisine (since our Spanish is nonexistent). It was a great way to spend the day.

Walk the marvelous city of Cadiz - We choose this tour because Cadiz didn't have big monuments as others cities in Andalucia, but it has a long history so we thought that a better perspective could be to walk the city with a local and to know stories about the city and their inhabitants. We were able to acomplish it. thanks to Vivien we could grasp at some extent the spirit of the city.

Fun in Cadiz - The tour was enjoyable. Malak took our group to some highlights of Cadiz. We really had a fun day. The beaches are beautiful & the gardens were also quite beautiful. We ended up at the cathedral square, which was very nice. It was a leisurely stroll thru your beautiful town.
Thank you
Malak

Lovely morning learning about a place we'd never before been.... - Cadiz was a beautiful town that we had never before visited. Seeing a new place through a "local's eyes" is always our preference. While our guide had considerable knowledge, he's a transplant who has lived there for approximately a half dozen years. He was able to share some of his favorite experiences but, I think, lacked a full understanding of the local culture that a native likely has. Having said that, he certainly warmed up and improved as our tour continued. We enjoyed our 2 hours together and would still recommend the tour to others.

Disaapointing tour of Cadiz - To be honest our expectations were quite high based on the reviews we read beforehand on Lokafy. We were however very dissapointed in the 3 hour tour we had with Tony. Although he was very friendly and amicable, we did not feel we had somenone show us around as a local. Of course we are aware that Lokafy tours are not the normal historical tours, but his knowledge of Cadiz was very limited and we were left with very many unanswered questions (to the point that we did not ask anymore). We have done local tours in many places in the area (amongst which Sevilla, Malaga, Gibraltar) where we were always left with a smile on our face. The walk around Cadiz was something we could have easily done by ourselves as it did not add much that we could not have discovered on our own. We felt cheated in our experience of what is presumably an amazing place to visit. We plan on returning another time to discover the city once more.
