Overview

Join this 2-hour tour of the old town of Cadiz in small groups (maximum 12 people). We include entry to the Tavira Tower, where you can enjoy a stunning panoramic view of the entire city, and we will enter its Camera Obscura with a specialized local guide, who will take you to discover the history of the city and how people lived in Cadiz during its time of greatest splendor. Immerse yourself in stories and legends from another era that will make your visit to the Tacita de Plata a unique memory and discover the importance of the city's towers and rooftops after the discovery of the New World. During our visit, you will see that walking through the streets is not the same as contemplating the city from above. You will see for yourself the secrets hidden in the rooftops of Cadiz, concluding the tour in one of them, where you can enjoy a complimentary snack to quench your thirst.

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
