Marco Mangut, a local patriot, has made his life where he was born: in Cáceres, World Heritage city in the wild and stirring region of Extremadura.

Passionately committed to explaining both city and region to visitors, Marco was educated at Extremadura University in Cáceres - and at St Andrew's University in Scotland.Son of a guide, he is fully qualified as a guide to his own city and to Extremadura at large.Marco is well versed in history, art and architecture and has a keen appreciation for issues of the present day.His offering is rich and delivered with intelligence and humour.

Marco has traveled widely in Europe and South America.As a keen linguist he is able to conduct tours not only in Spanish and English but also in French, Italian and Portuguese.

He is sensitive to the differing needs of each language group, to differing levels of appreciation and to each individual.Nobody feels neglected or 'talked down to'.His authoritative responses to questions are delivered in his usual lively style and often if you pass him in the street you will see his groups rocking with laughter.He can help you to shop, wine, dine and find the best tapas in town.

With its huge history of Romans, Arabs and Conquistadors, Extremadura is one of the most delightful and impressive parts of the Iberian Peninsula.Rich in magnificent small towns and monuments, it exudes a sense of the remote and different.There can be no better  companion than Marco with whom to explore Extremadura.Time with him is always time well spent.
