Tiny City Explorers, the app that will make young children enjoy cultural tourism
Paqui and Manuel are two Sevillian teachers with great passion for their work and for cultural tourism. They always travelled a lot and when their children were born they asked themselves the big question: “And how do we do it now?” They decided to do some trips that would also be appealing to little Julia and Mario, through activities and educational games.
