History comes alive. - This was a truly amazing tour. Manuel is exceedingly cordial, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. His bright and friendly demeanor is so engaging. Manuel was so excited to share his wealth of history and insight that the time just flew by. We are so grateful to have found him. If you are interested in the myriad intersections of Islamic, Jewish and Christian histories, this is a tour not to be missed.

Walk with Manuel to understand how truly amazing Seville is. - Manuel is a fountain of history. His presentation is in excellent English. Seville is an amazing city, which we found even more amazing after Manuel's empassioned differentiation between fact and legend. Manuel's private tour is the only way to see the Jewish Quarter and understand the reality of religious differences in Seville rather than the fiction. In this time of global intolerance and violence, we all need to understand the facts of Seville rather than cling to its illusion.

Imaginative and interesting tour - Manuel was very knowledgeable and did a great job creating a context for explaining Jewish history of Seville. Unfortunately, there are no buildings, museums, synagogues or even good archives about the Jews living in Seville prior to 1492. Therefore, the tour is imaginative…it requires one to imagine what life was like in the ghetto. It is as if the existence of Jews was completely expunged. Manuel did a wonderful job of integrating stories and legends as we walked the streets of the former hub of Jewish life.
