“We totally loved this tour! Maria was a very competent tour guide who shared valuable information and trivia about The Giralda, Cathedral and Royal Alcazar. Her English was spot on. As an art historian, she was able to provide an artistic lens to each of the important points we stopped and looked at. The tour itself was good value for money. We didn't feel rushed. We had more than enough time to go up the 34 ramps and 17 steps up the Giralda, look at the important stations of the Cathedral and explore the interesting interior of the Alcazar. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know a bit more about Sevilla.” - Get Your Guide Traveller (See more reviews or book your tour now)

“What an amazing tour! We literally saw the best of all of Seville!! Miguel was a great tour guide. He knows so much history and interesting facts about this beautiful city, and he is quite entertaining. We got little headsets, which made it super easy to hear, so if you were falling behind to take a picture of one of the majestic monuments, you'd still be able to hear everything he was saying. He also has tips for restaurants, the best ways to get tickets, how to subvert the line, where, to see, the best shows, and more, making it quite the full tour / experience. 5 BIG stars!” - Kevin (See more reviews or book this tour now)
