Hello! I'm Victoria - a licensed tour guide with a passion for history, culture... and my city! I'm officially accredited by the Andalusian Government as a certified guide, and for years I've had the privilege of showing people from all over the world the most beautiful and special corners of this city. I know Cádiz inside out, and I love helping visitors discover its charm, its history, and those little details that often go unnoticed. My goal is for you to take home not just photos, but unforgettable memories. In addition to Cádiz, I have also experience guiding tours in Málaga — a city full of life, art, and Mediterranean flavor. From its impressive historical heritage to its vibrant cultural scene, Málaga has so much to offer, and I'd be delighted to show you the best of it. Fancy exploring Cádiz or Málaga with me? You can check out my tours at www.destinocadiztours.com. I'd love to be your guide!
