My rating is not a criticism of Our guide Christina. She was interesting and tried to find tapas that we hadn’t tried yet. Our first try with her had to be rescheduled, because at the time of the original tour, everything was closed. Second time around was much better. We visited two different tapas places. One in the middle of the tourist area, the second definitely a local hangout. The site for the tours is very badly set up. Most of the times offered don’t take into consideration that everything in Cadiz shuts down from around 2-3 till 8pm. The price charged for the tour was highway robbery. I just hope the guide gets a decent portion of it. We paid €177 for the 2 of us. For that money we could have had dinner at the most expensive restaurant in Cadiz!Christina is a very good guide

We had the best time in Cádiz with Joanna! She introduced us to many areas of the city and gave us little bits of history throughout our food tour. The tastes we got were delicious and it was so much fun experiencing the areas of the city where the locals go to eat. We really enjoyed our time with Joanna and would recommend her as a guide for any tour!!Fabulous Tour!

We had a fantastic few hours in Cadiz with Joanna. Arriving on a cruise ship she met us right outside the port. We were a family group of ages 8-70 and Joanna accommodated all very well. We tried some wonderful food that was different to what we would try by ourselves in some fascinating places. Having visited Cadiz 3 times before we learnt loads we didn’t know and saw new places. It was rated by most as our best day on our entire holiday and the best visit to Cadiz! So clearly comes highly recommended by us! Food tour Cadiz

As fairly typical reserved Brits, we simply wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the variety and exquisite flavours of Cádiz without Joanna’s friendly expertise. She took us through the colourful market and we tried lots of different local dishes, and ended up at a lovely little taverna, trying..well see it for yourself by making a booking you will have made a great decision. Joanna knows the local people and shares a passion for the produce so we were able to enjoy food we would never have found by ourselves. Thank you Joanna for a wonderful few hours!!😀Unmissable food experience!

We had a private tour in Cadiz with Joanna and she was an absolute delight. She has a personal connection with the local store owners which gave us an even personalized experience to each place we visited. Joanna has a big heart and passion for history , culture, food and knowledge of the wines. It shows in every detail of her tour. She also gave us lots of great recommendations for the rest of our travels in Spain. Highly recommend Joanna for every tour in and around Cadiz , Rota and beyond.

We had the absolute pleasure of joining Jo's food tour in Cadiz, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Jo was not only knowledgeable and passionate about the culinary delights of the region, but she also went above and beyond to ensure that every member of our group had an exceptional time. From the outset, Jo took our dietary considerations very seriously. With a range of dietary preferences and restrictions in our group, she made sure to accommodate everyone without missing a beat. Her attention to detail and dedication to inclusivity were evident throughout the tour. One of our group members is hard of hearing, and Jo was incredibly considerate in adapting the tour for them. She made sure they were always included in the conversations, using clear and thoughtful communication methods. Her genuine care and attentiveness ensured that everyone could fully enjoy and participate in the experience. Beyond her remarkable consideration for our needs, Jo shared a wealth of historical knowledge about Cadiz. We learned so much about the city's rich history and culture, which added an extra layer of appreciation for the culinary stops we made. She introduced us to dishes we would have never thought to try on our own, each one more delightful than the last. We were so impressed with the places Jo took us to and her recommendations that we found ourselves returning to many of them later in our trip. Each visit reaffirmed the quality and charm that Jo had initially highlighted. In short, if you're umming and ahhhing about whether to do the tour... Stop. Just book it! Jo is an outstanding guide whose passion for Cadiz and its cuisine shines through in every aspect of her tour. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore the food of Cadiz in the most considerate and enriching way possible. Thank you, Jo, for an unforgettable tour!The Only Way Is Jo! Best Cadiz Experience

We had a fantastic food tour with Joanna. It could not have been better. She sent very clear directions on the meeting place and even though the place was crowded due to a festival, it was easy to find her. Joanna's has an excellent knowledge of the city and provided informative details of Cadiz history during the tour. Our stops were very well organized, even though it was a busy Saturday, and included sherry, olives, oysters, paella, local meats, and desserts. Joanna has a fantastic level of energy and enthusiasm for food tours (and life in general), and it was such a pleasure to spend time with this very positive person. 10 out of 10 for sure and I'd highly recommend this guide.Outstanding in every way!

We were trying to just make the best of a rainy day and Joanna made it more than we could ask for. She had so much knowledge. Knew all the locals spots and goodies and truly had the most uplifting attitude! It was like we had known her forever! Highly recommend this tour!

Well, in a nutshell Joanna was an awesome guide! She really took the time to personalize our fun filled day of sightseeing and food tastings across the entire island of Cadiz. We covered quite a bit of territory with perfectly timed stops at various food spots for Sherry, Cheese, Tapas, Hot Chocolate and a few sweets! Totally delicious! Joanna also did an amazing job of imparting local history as we roamed through the various areas of Cadiz. I have to say that visiting the local food marketplace was amazing as well. Really got to experience hanging out with the locals and trying out the local fare including fresh oysters just caught from the bay. Long story short you cannot go wrong booking a tour with Joanna in Cadiz. Enjoy your time in Cadiz and the great food as well!Livin La Vida Loca in Cadiz!

My tour with Joanna was great. She was able to pick me up at the port gate since I was nervous and traveling alone with crappy phone service. She tailored the tour to the mood of the day. Kept it casual, with great historical education, local wines and beautiful local venues. She definitely turned a sour day into a great one. I would highly recommend her especially if you are English or Spanish speaking. Friendly, knowledgeable and caring!

I was part of a group of 3 couples who had the pleasure of meeting with Joanna on a private cruise excursion in Cadiz. Joanna was absolutely wonderful! She taught us quite a bit about the rich history of Cadiz and showed us beautiful and historic sites while filling us in with great stories from this amazing city. Joanna also brought us to a local market where we were able to sample some of the local delicacies for ourselves. She even made sure to accommodate one member of our party who is a vegan. Joanna even followed up with us as she knew that Lisbon was our next stop and she offered some great suggestions for that city as well. Overall, a truly great experience. We cannot recommend Joanna highly enough!Wonderful day in Cadiz

Had a fabulous day yesterday with Joanna on our tour around Cádiz. She had such a wealth of local and historical knowledge - delivered in a fun and engaging manner. As a native English speaker we found it very easy to engage with her warm and bubbly personality. Her Spanish fluency was a massive bonus and made navigating around Cádiz a breeze. It was the perfect tour to combine the history and food of Cádiz. We walked around 2.5 miles but had plenty of stops at various delicious eateries and bars so a perfect mix for our group who had varied mobility. We would never have found these gems without Joanna’s tour. Would 100% recommend to anyone going to Cádiz! A huge ‘thank you’! 😍 Living La Vida Loca - Joanna Amazing food and history tour with Joanna

Also had a lovely varied tapas stop and our dietary restrictions were respected. A final stop for the local version of flan was just right.
