Explore hidden courtyards, centuries-old monuments, and untold stories of the city's founding with a private academic historian as your sole guide. This is the real, unfiltered narrative of a place — not a rehearsed script.
What to expect
Your private historian meets you dockside and immediately reframes the port city as a layered palimpsest of civilisations. The route winds through lanes that don't appear on any tourist map, pausing at architectural details — a Moorish arch, a colonial doorway, a resistance-era mural — that only an expert eye would catch. Entry to one usually-closed heritage building is arranged in advance, offering a moment of genuine exclusivity. The pace is entirely yours: linger, question, debate.
Good to know
Maximum 4 guests keeps this truly intimate. Wear comfortable walking shoes; some sites involve uneven stone steps. Book 3+ weeks in advance to secure the preferred morning slot before the day-tripper crowds arrive.
