Free: All time
Pancho Tours started in Cadiz in 2011 as the pioneers in Free Walking Tours in town. The guides live on tips (their slogan is “you choose the price!” and they are usually very talented, fun, enthusiastic, and younger that the usual tour guides. Cadiz is the oldest city in Europe, mithologically founded by Hercules, after separating the continents and creating the “pillars of Hercules- Strait of Gibraltar”. Famous harbour throughout the centuries, home of several famous pirates, 60 miles away from the place where the Battle of Trafalgar took place in 1805 (where Nelson defeated napoleon), home of the greatest Carnival in the Iberian Peninsula, and where you can find the freshest (and cheapest!) red tuna!! The tours will take you around the 3,000 years of history in a fun and different way. Have a look at Pancho Tours’ official website for more details and route of the several tours. You must sign up for the tour on their website and then just show up in the meeting point and look for the bright orange shirts!
