Our take
If you only do one guided tour in Jerez, make it this one, because it combines the old-town walk with the inside of the Alcázar, the city's most striking sight. The climb up the Villavicencio tower gives the best views of the old town. Arrive early, as they do not wait for latecomers.

The experience
What you will see
- The 12th-century Almohad Alcázar inside: mosque, Arab baths, gardens and the Villavicencio Palace with its tower.
- The cathedral, a mix of Baroque, Renaissance and Neoclassical.
- Plaza del Arroyo and its palaces.
- Plaza de la Asunción, with San Dionisio and the old Cabildo, ending at the Town Hall.
How it works
You meet in Plaza del Arenal and, after seeing the Alcázar's walls and gate, go inside with the guide. You then walk on to the cathedral, Plaza del Arroyo and Plaza de la Asunción, finishing at the Town Hall. About two hours in total.
Who I recommend it for
- First-time visitors who want the essentials with context.
- Anyone who would rather not sort out Alcázar tickets themselves.
- Groups who prefer the private option.
Who I don't recommend it for
- Solo travellers: the minimum booking is two adults.
- Anyone wanting to explore the Alcázar slowly at their own pace.
