Interesting tour and unfortunately very hot indeed , lovely guide but spoke too fast . She was most helpful but my husband wears hearing aids so prefers slower speech .
Marta was our guide. A LUXURY. She explained all the monuments in great detail. It was a fantastic visit. Thank you, Marta.
We had the pleasure of meeting Rose and having her guide us around Jerez, pointing out interesting historical sights and details, and regaling us with interesting bits of history. The tour was well-paced, and she sent us a list of local eateries to try when we finished.
We have come a group of friends to visit this winery and it has been an experience that I recommend if you want to know how this spectacular chamomile is produced! Laura has been an outstanding guide, she has taught us a lot and has conveyed the special and different of this denomination of origin!! You can see that he knows a lot and transmits his knowledge with a lot of passion..Laura we will continue to apostle with your teachings, do not hesitate!!
El Chapparal and la siesta bars and restaurants are very good. If you want live music Rosie's bar, cha locos and Carmen's offer some good acts.If you want good food Carmen's,and Rosie's are good. Restaurant casa Mia offer a great choice of English and Italian food and a good breakfast.
We booked an English speaking tour. A Spanish couple were included so it became a bilingual tour. A lot of time to wait for the translation. The guide was sweet girl but her delivery in English was with too much information delivered at too high a speed. We felt very sorry for our Dutch members in the group who, although their English was impeccable, found it extremely difficult to follow the guide. We do either walking tours or cycle tours wherever we go but this one did not work for us.
Dear customer, We regret that your experience was not as expected, but our booking conditions stipulate that on rare occasions the service may be provided in both languages. On that occasion, it was conducted in both languages, taking more time from our guide to ensure that our clients received all relevant information. We advise you to carefully read the booking conditions for services before proceeding with your purchase in the future. However, you could also have opted for the private tour option to ensure that your visit was conducted in a single language.
A very interesting tour of Jerez through this tour of the old quarter and main monuments of Jerez. Rosalda gave us good anecdotes making the visit even more interesting. Thanks to her for giving us time.
I was hoping otherwise. The Pillar guide I admit I knew a lot but I think it got very thick. Something lighter would have been better
Buenas tardes, Actualmente no tenemos ninguna guía llamada Pilar. Seguramente se haya equivocado de empresa a la hora de escribir su reseña. Saludos
Excellent customer service. Spacious and clean facilities. They need to work a better deal with the Arenal public parking.
We really enjoyed our walking tour in Jerez. Rose was a knowledgeable guide and delivered the tour in 2 languages. Nothing was too much trouble and we thoroughly recommend this tour.
