Private tour of Vejer de la Frontera with tapas and sherry-tasting - My sister, auntie, mom and I booked a private tapas and sherry tasting walking tour with Carlos this past month and had the best time! Carlos was extremely knowledgeable about the history, nature and culinary scene in and around Vejer de la Frontera. He was flexible with the schedule and was always checking in to make sure we were having a good time. The food and sherry we tasted was incredible and spending time with Carlos felt like a day out with an old friend :) He even made a pit-stop on the way back to our hotel so that we could see the beach. Thank you so much for everything Carlos and team! Hopefully we will get a chance to visit the area again and take another tour! -Michaela and family

One of our favorite activities in Spain! - If you make it to Vejer la Frontera you must make time to explore it with Carlos! We did a private walking historical tour and then a tapas/sherry tour afterwards. HIs passion and knowledge of history, food, and sherry is impressive and he shared it with both humor and love. The tour and place were one of the highlights of our 3 week trip to Spain. Had we known how fun his tours were we would have stayed longer and done some of the other ones. He was very flexible with us and customized the day to our interests.

Brilliant experience with Carlos - We did the sherry and tapas tour with Carlos and also a day hike in El Estrecho and tour of Baelo Claudia. He also set us up to spend a half day in Aracena to see the Iberian pigs and how the ham is processed. Carlos is a great guy, well organised and his communication was fantastic. Just do it! Spend some time in beautiful Vejer and El Estrecho with Carlos. It is one of our highlight days of our month long trip in Andalusia! Thanks Carlos!

Sherry tasting and much more. - Excellent! Definitely recommend! We did a custom tour with Carlos which included a sherry tasting. We told him of our interest in history and of previous visits to the area. Carlos knows his history well. We did not have a car and he picked us up in Cádiz. He took us to the beautiful village of Vejer de la Frontera. (not our first white village but the most beautiful) He told us much about the history and accommodated our interest in a small shop of old radios. The big eye opener was the visit to a Sherry bodega. This sherry tasting opened my eyes and we tasted something not experienced before. It was a small operation but produced sherries that I am still raving about with food pairings that were perfect .

A very enjoyable, fun and interesting evening in great company - Set in the gorgeous town of Vejer de la Frontera, this tour includes delicious and varied tapas, perfectly matched with different types of sherry. Carlos is very passionate and knowledgeable about food and sherry but also about lots of other subjects, always willing to share information. I would highly recommend this tour. And I would have no hesitation in contacting him again to book one of his "ruta de senderismo"

Cool Sherry & Warm Welcome to Vejer. - Carlos had been recommended to us by friends who had enjoyed one of his tours recently. Booking was very easy and we were contacted swiftly to confirm arrangements. We received a warm welcome in Plaza de España & were invited to confirm our knowledge of Sherry, which, as near novices, meant we got the full rundown on its origins, cultivation & fermentation. Wandering around the walled town, sampling 5 varieties with accompanying tapas along the way was a great introduction to Vejer & some of it’s history. Carlos’s passion for sherry ensured we learned a lot more about it but his warm personality also allowed us to have a conversation about other mutual interests such as travel. We highly recommend joining one of these tours.

Original and delightful guided tour, perfect to discover the authentic Spanish lifestyle and gastronomy. - We had a great time in Vejer de la Frontera where we decided to take this tour to discover the town, the guide was recommended by a friend of us, so we were sure we would hit the target with this trip! We felt it was very well organized and saw a lot of places in only two days (Molinos de Vejer, Arcos de la Frontera, Grazalema…) with wine and food tasting, hiking and more relaxing moments. The guide takes you to great places to eat, which are not tourist orientated. As a French person I was surprised by Carlos' wine knowledge and I still have a fond memory for the bluefin tuna we ate the first night! Carlos is passionate, flexible and super friendly, we had good laughs with him! I highly recommend this tour for foodies and Spanish culture lovers! Simply wonderful!

Fun, informative and delicious - We took this tour with Carlos on a sunny July evening which was perfect. His knowledge of sherry/wine and the region is excellent. He made the tour fun and informative - without being too technical. It was such an enjoyable evening and fantastic way to see more of Vejer and learn about the history and dynamics of the area. We were still chatting until well after the tour ended. We’d highly recommend this tour. It is excellent value for money - we tasted five wines/sherry and the accompanying food was delicious. If you know a little or know a lot, you’ll throughly enjoy this experience. Mucho Gracias Alex

Brillant tour!!! - This is an absolutely fantastic tour - don't even hesitate, book book book! We wandered the beautiful streets of this picturesque village, sampling the most delicious tapas and sherry, and learning so much about pairing these from the brilliant Carlos. The food and drink are wonderful, but the knowledge, enthusiasm and passion that Carlos shows puts this tour as a definite must. Carlos also offers other tours - I will most definitely be back!
