About Tour Guide Mercedes P.
I am spanish woman, History degree and master in American Anthropology, working as a guide in Granada since 2010 (Oficial licensed guide in Andalucia)
Before then I have lived in different countries such as Paraguay and thee Netherlands and have had scholarships in New York and Paris to learn English and French language. For a period of a year I was working in the luxurious train Al Andalus that travels around Andalucia, as a guide first and as the train manager after. At the moment I am home based in Granada and I work as a guide mainly in this city.
I love to be a guide so I can provide a nice, interesting and empathic perspective of Granada and its monuments, its society and its history.

“OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!”
Mercedes provided my wife and I an informative, interesting and illuminating tour of the Alhambra palace and gardens complex. Her knowledge of the history was impressive, and she new little details about life in medieval times that were very interesting. Her English is outstanding, and her international experiences come through in her perspectives and the discussions that we had with her during the tour. She also provided information that we used on our visit to Burgos later in our trip. We highly recommend her -- she goes above and beyond what we expect from tour guides. Thanks again, Mercedes!

Hello! My name is Manu. I am master architect, master in Historical Construction Techniques and licenced guide. I studied architecture in Granada and during the degree I also worked as urban photography teacher and editor in an arts magazine. I finished in 2015 and I did an internship in Yokohama National University in Japan. After that I worked for the structures department of the University of Castilla La Mancha, where I did some restorations and started working with heritage architecture. In 2018 I started my own architecture studio and got an official guiding licence. Since then I work running my own projects and collaborating with different companies while showing the Andalusian architecture , heritage, history and urbanism in the cities of Granada, Sevilla, Guadix and Málaga.

I was born and grown up in my beloved city, Seville. After studying tourism and 2 masters degrees, one in event organization and the other one in Marketing, the economical crisis arrived to Spain and I decided that was a really good moment to leave home and flied to Australia where I have been living, working as a chef and as international tour leader for 6 years. 4 years ago I came back to my city where I am an official tour guide. I know almost every corner of Seville and feel the culture like a part of myself. Thanks to this love I really enjoy showing to my clients all the passion I have for the lifestyle here, the history and the details to understand how we are, how we live and many others things from our everyday life. I love what I do and that's why I really want you to tell me what are your expectations in your experience in order to tailor made an amazing experience. We can make an unforgettable experience to make your trip to Sevilla worth for the rest of your life . Some of my passion are cooking, football, tennis, surfing and flamenco. I practice all of them and follow them in Sevilla so you can count on me to enjoy some of my passions too. I really love to be like I am with my clients in order to make them feel really natural and treat me like a friend. I am easy going and really enjoy my profession so please don't hesitate to contact me and lets enjoy Sevilla and around together.

Hi there! I'm Marta, a licensed tour guide with an Art degree and working as a freelance tour guide for about 7 years now. After travelling to different countries for a while, I decided to come back and to help other travellers to get to know the real Andalucia so their time here turns into an unforgettable experience. Baeza and Úbeda, the cities where I live and work at, are two hidden gems away from the tourist crowds . Their historical and architectural relevance got them the recognition as World Heritage Cities by the Unesco in 2003 and are the perfect destination for those who love to go beyond. I can't wait to meet you!
