Engaging and Fun Tour - Guiding us through the narrow and beautiful streets, Julio led a compelling, fun, and thorough tour and spoke in a way that worked for adults and engaged kids alike. We learned lots of the Jewish history of Seville (our focus). He's an excellent storyteller and answered all of our questions. For a family interested in learning, it's way better than trying a self-guided tour. Highly recommend!
