Come with me on a intimate tour with a nice mix of history, architecture, fun anecdotes, a few jokes and really, really, tasty food.
We'll start at the Plaza Mayor and then make our way through the old town, stopping at a local market to enjoy some entrees and drinks. Then continue our historical journey through the most ancient and interesting parts of the old town, to finally end before the majestic Royal Palace.
After putting aside the history we’ll finish the tour at a really classic local restaurant where you'll get to taste different, mouth-watering food and local drinks.
Of course, aside from the food goodies, we will get an opportunity to chill, know each other better and share some laughs.
I want to make you feel as if you're walking through the city with a bunch of friends but one of them happens to know a lot about it and is more than willing to share the knowledge with you!
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
The meeting point is right in front of the Plaza Mayor’s tourist information office (the building with the pretty paintings and flags). I’ll be right by the "i" sign.
