Just when you thought ol’ ShitAdvisor couldn’t get any shittier…

First they removed all contact details from everyone’s pages, and now this. A notice at the top of the pages of people not using their rip-off (25% commission) online booking service, suggesting that prospective clients use them instead. On the other hand, they have returned the contact details (must’ve been a legal issue), so people can also “book now” directly with me. But they’ve worded this new notice to make it seem like there is something WRONG with my tours because they aren’t on the TripAdvisor service. Assholes.

becky’s back!

I first met Becky, Scott and their 4 kids in December 2015, after they had taken a We Love Tapas Tour with the fabulous Delia. And that Christmas Day I spent a wonderful afternoon with them. Then in the spring of 2017 Scott came back to Sevilla with a friend and took a Sherry & Tapas Tour with me. The family has been back to Spain a few times since then, but this time Becky was passing through Sevilla with three of her brood (husband and eldest stayed home this trip), and we got to meet up for a lovely lunch.

Wow, what a difference 2.5 years have made, as you can see from the two photos above. Honestly, I love these kids (NOT a phrase you hear me say often 😉 ). They are so inquisitive and fun to be with. And of course, it was great to catch up with Becky. After lunch we stopped at Rayas for ice cream and then it was time to say “hasta luego”. Plans are afoot for a return visit to Sevilla in October. Can’t wait!
