About Tour Guide Rafael R.
Hello! My name is Rafael, an architect, and I have a PhD in architecture focused in architectural theory and contemporary vernacular architecture. I have a Master’s degree in Architecture and historic heritage, and a Master's degree in Education. I have been working for 18 years carrying out very diverse projects in architectural design and urban planning. In 2017. I changed my activity towards cultural management, heritage dissemination, curating and designing exhibitions and cultural events.
Beside this I am very involved in the cultural life of the city. I have been the director of several cultural festivals, and have been collaborating in organizing several exhibitions, conferences and other cultural events in Seville the last years. I love drawing, architecture, art, history and gastronomy.
I would like to share with you my passion about Seville and Andalusia with a different point of view, through the eyes of architecture.

Seville, World Heritage. Archivo de Indias, Real Alcázar and Cathedral.
Seville, a city of immense historical significance, boasts a stunning monumental ensemble. The cathedral and the Alcázar, Europe’s oldest royal palace still in use, reflect Moorish influences and the rich heritage of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian Andalusia. The Giralda minaret, an Almohad architectural gem, adjoins the world’s largest Gothic cathedral, which houses Christopher Columbus's tomb. Nearby, the old Lonja, now the Archivo de Indias, safeguards invaluable colonial-era records.

My name is Beatriz, I was born in Seville and I´m an experienced tour guide. I studied Tourism in the University of Seville as I love studying languages, obtaining my guide license in 2.016, so today, I´ve got a job that makes me happy as every day is different, I can know visitors from different places around the world and I´ve known people I never thought I would meet through it. I am specialised in cultural visits being my favourite themes: the roman period, the age of discoveries and the olive oil. If you prefer a day trip outside Seville and you want to discover cities like Córdoba, Ronda or Cádiz I can guide you as well. When I´m not working I do like going to the cinema and enjoying its most wonderful movies, so I know everything about actors, actresses and directors. I also love spending time with my family, specially my daughter and my dog and reading. If you want to know SEVILLE in a different way, join me! You will have an unforgettable experience!

Hola! My name is Giusy and I am a licensed tour guide in Seville, one of the most fascinating cities in the world, the city which adopted me 15 years ago and where I decided to live. I studied tourism and philology and in 1994 I started my professional career working as a tour guide in Sicily. After a 10 year experience as an English teacher, in 2008 I arrived in this stunning city. Foreign languages, art and history have always been my passion and thanks to my studies I also had the opportunity to delve into aspects connected to anthropology, the history of popular cultures, Islamic culture and ethnology. My education in tourism and my professional experience in this field allow me to adapt to different kinds of guided tours, both for individuals or groups, as well as to the rhythms and the specific needs of each customer, by optimizing the time of the visit. It will be my pleasure to accompany you on a journey of discovery through this city whose culture, art, architecture and people I love... Seville is the city of colours, smells, tastes...a mixture of feelings to live to the fullest...
