Quick Luxury Tour Overview + Ideas…..
“Life is a great adventure… or nothing.”
– Helen Keller
Beautiful 2000-year-old Seville, Spain is one of Europe’s most unique and beautiful river cities. With our savvy, caring guides you enjoy more, your way in Seville, also know as Sevilla. Experience the towering, artful Giralda Tower, the quaint Santa Cruz district and King Fernando’s fortress in one of the most unique cities in Europe.

The essence of Spain’s unique lifestyle awaits you with our fun expert guides on an insider’s walking tour + tasty tapas tasting. Options: Flamenco guitar & dance show, meet a local painter, fun cooking demo, or the mysteries of Columbus.
Discover Córdoba… Enjoy the Moorish, Roman & Jewish heritage of Córdoba, once the richest in Europe. On our private guided tour, discover the best of this UNESCO-listed old town including the Roman bridge, once crossed by Julius Caesar, the Mezquita. Now a Cathedral, originally the Mezquita was among the largest medieval mosque and still includes over 800 hand cut columns, some from Roman times. Nearby your guide will help you navigate charming maze-like tiny winding streets of the old town of Córdoba. Master artist Julio Romero Torres is from Córdoba and there is a fine museum here full of his dramatic regional paintings often of beautiful women. Maybe that is how he is said to have influenced Picasso, who was born 3 hours south on the Mediterranean coast in Málaga. They met through Picasso’s father apparently.
Andalucia’s white medieval hilltowns, los Pueblos Blancos, olive oil mills and vineyards & Hemingway’s favorite town await. On your custom luxury tour of Andalucia, savor flower pot-lined-lanes and a slower pace of ancestral life. Enjoy postcard-pretty villages Grazalema, Zahara or even Arcos de la Frontera.

Enjoy guided old town exploration to noble palaces, Roman ruins or medieval Moorish baths or an optional fun country walk to an enigmatic religious shrine. Do not miss one of the best sunset views of your life!
Explore Granada, the last medieval Moorish capital.… You could almost think of it as the “Moor’s Alamo” except their King Boabdil negociated a surrender that allowed him to depart with treasures leaving his people behind. Highlights include the incredible vistas from the hilltops of the Albaizin (reminiscent of Morroco’s souks) the old Moorish quarter of Granada. But the biggest attraction is the Alhambra, a Moorish castle, palace, and gardens. This is Europe’s 2nd most visited monument and best discovered with a top local guide on a private tour. This means you can interact get personal attention. Later perhaps an exotic meal or tea and desserts in a Moorish style restaurant or a fine dining and wine tastings with an unforgettable view of the Alhambra.
