Juan is an exceptional guide! History come to life!! - Had an absolutely wonderful tour guide in JUAN! We do a walking tour in every city we go to - and JUAN has to be the best and most interesting guide we have ever encountered. Full of passion, knowledge, history and fun facts. We went to places and learnt things we would never have encounted without Juan's expertise and understanding of his city.
We loved this tour and would highly recommend Juan and this tour. Thanks Juan we feel like we made a new friend!

White Umbrella Seville, all the best. - The experience with White Umbrella in Seville was very good. We took the tour through Hotel Halo and were surprised by the quality of the service. I would like to congratulate the guide Aliz who, with his friendliness, intelligence and preparation, led us to immerse ourselves in the history of Seville. I recommend it to anyone who is thinking about visiting this charming city.

A good way to get a foundation on the history of the Jews in Spain - Quite an experience to be standing in the square of the 1391 pogrom. The guide was knowledgeable and very open to learning about Judaism.

Don't miss the white umbrellas in Seville! - Excellent Patricia's guide to Santa Cruz and María Jesús to monumental Seville. We have enjoyed and learned a lot from them. I definitely recommend white umbrellas! In addition to original tours and good information, we had our time to rest and have a coffee, with super good empathy from the guides.

Experience to repeat - I was having difficulty making a reservation on the website, all it took was a call to the store and on the other end of the line they quickly booked my visit. I made the visit with the guide Juanma. We were a small group, which made the experience even more enriching. The guide clearly explained various details about the places he visited, told jokes and even launched challenges, showing that he is passionate about this city. It was a very positive experience and I can only highlight the professionalism of this company.
