I have gone with many tour directors on my travels, and Jorge was the best of them all. Not only was he knowledgeable about Sevilla, his love and respect for his city was palpable. He was so eager to share his knowledge with my group( all 8 of us!) but he was never condescending or snooty about the knowledge he had about his beloved city. He regaled us with stories as an extra in the movie "Kingdom of God" , and showed us vantage points where Game of Thrones was shot using Alcazar as the Kingdom of Dorne in GOT. Since he grew up in Seville, he knew its secrets and he was so eager to share them with us. At one point at Plaza de España, he pointed out the place where Star Wars was filmed, and this was a treat--pointed out on the map of Huelvo along the painted ceramics on the wall, where my Spanish ancestors could have come from! All in all, Jorge was the best tour guide imaginable. He certainly raised the bar so high that I now expect my tour guides for the other countries that I will visit to be just like him. Bravo, Jorge!
