Description

What better way to get to know Cadiz than by taking a guided tour with a local guide?! On this free tour, you'll visit all the main points of interest in one of the world's oldest cities.

Free Walking Tour of Cadiz

Beginning at the central Plaza de San Juan de Dios, we'll dive into the long history of Cadiz, touring the main places of interest in the Andalucian city, one of the oldest in the world.

In the square, you'll find the Town Hall, which was first built by the Phoenicians, who founded the city itself around 1104 BC. Here your guide will teach you some unusual facts about the origins of the city, and then we'll continue our free walking tour around the Pópulo neighbourhood - the oldest part of the city. This neighbourhood is home to some of the most important monuments in Cadiz, such as the Roman Theatre, the Santa Cruz Cathedral, and the Plaza de las Flores - monuments filled with history, and sure to take your breath away.

And our free tour would never be complete without getting to know the city's local culture. We'll visit the Mercado Central de Abastos, (Central Market) - where you can find the famous bay tuna - a delicious local speciality.

We will continue exploring the traditions of Cádiz, touring the Viña neighbourhood. Here is the famous Falla theatre, one of the most important buildings during Carnival in the city of Cadiz. Cameras at the ready!

We will continue the guided tour, heading to the La Caleta beach - a natural port where the Phoenicians, Romans and Carthaginians long ago arrived with their boats. We will enjoy the view of this charming bay framed by the castles of San Sebastián and Santa Catalina.

Following two hours of free tour around Cádiz, we put an end to the tour in La Caleta.

Raquel fue simpatiquísima, nos recomendó sitios para comer muy buenos y varias actividades turísticas con las que hemos mejorado nuestra primera visita a Cádiz. El tour es bastante completo para el tiempo que dura, y las curiosidades que nos contaba Raquel entre paradas fue lo mejor de la actividad. Muy recomendado si es tu primera vez en la ciudad.

Raquel was incredibly friendly and recommended great places to eat and several tourist activities that enhanced our first visit to Cádiz. The tour was quite comprehensive for its duration, and the interesting facts Raquel shared with us between stops were the best part of the activity. Highly recommended if it's your first time in the city. Opinion translated. Show original.

Había estado varias veces en Cádiz, ya que soy de Sevilla, pero nunca había hecho una visita turística por allí. Tengo que reconocer que me sorprendió gratamente, gracias sin duda, a la aportación de María, la guía, que explicó con detalle, amabilidad y simpatía, historias muy interesantes sobre la ciudad y su idiosincrasia. Translate this opinion into English.

I'd been to Cádiz several times, as I'm originally from Seville, but I'd never done a sightseeing tour there. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised, thanks no doubt to the contribution of María, the guide, who explained in detail, with kindness, and friendliness, very interesting stories about the city and its idiosyncrasies.

Tour muy ameno y muy profesional. Raquel sabía perfectamente qué iba a decir, cómo decirlo y cuándo. 10/10 Por sugerir algo totalmente personal, quizás eché de menos una breve explicación del origen histórico del Carnaval de Cadiz. Encantados! Un saludo y gracias! Translate this opinion into English.

A very enjoyable and professional tour. Raquel knew exactly what to say, how to say it, and when. 10/10 For suggesting something completely personal, I perhaps missed a brief explanation of the historical origins of the Cadiz Carnival. Delighted! Best regards and thank you! Opinion translated. Show original.
