“How lucky we were that Victor was our art tour guide for a wonderful art exhibit about female deities from various ancient cultures: Sekhmet, Isis, Circe,Hecate… Lilith. Victor knew so much of the colorful beliefs and symbolism of goddesses that it seemed as if he must have been giving this in-depth tour for years and […]

“6/5 stars! This is by far one of the BEST tours I have ever been on. Víctor clearly knows what he is talking about…and then some! He bleeds passion and energy with each step of the tour! His English is amazing and you can tell he gives tours because he is drawn to the history […]

His tours are very well researched, and while it […]

“I dreamed of visiting Andalucia for years after reading ‘Ornament of the World’: a book about medieval Spain that explores the golden age when Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived in harmony under Arab rule, for centuries. A friend referred us to Victor and my wife and I arranged to travel the major cities of Andalusia […]
