Seville cathedral and Giralda tower were absolutely beautiful and steeped in fascinating history. Our guide, Hector, was so friendly, enthusiastic and most of all so knowledgeable - he really bought the rich history alive with good humour. His passion was clear, he was not clock watching so we got some extra time.

Overall the experience was very good. There was a delay getting the tour going once we walked to the Cathedral, as there was a family of 3 delayed joining us for some reason, despite there being a head count prior to us setting off from our meeting point. Our guide Julio was very knowledgeable and encouraged questions from the tour party. The tour and guide was very good and our party of 2 thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

The Cathedral is a unique monument and this was well explained to us by the passionate and knowledgeable guide. Thanks to this man, who speaks Italian very well, we learned not only the historical news but also the chronicles of the time relstive to Christopher Columbus. Interesting, beyond any doubt, I suggest without fear of contradiction. Thanks again to the guide

    I bought the guided tour in Spanish to visit the Cathedral, but the day before they sent me a message saying that for organizational reasons the tour would be in English. If they didn't have availability for that language, don't sell. I didn't take the guided tour, I just used my ticket to access the Cathedral, which was unfortunate because if I had bought a guide, the aim was to have an explanation of the monument.

    Recognized as the world's largest Gothic cathedral, this is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a focal point of the city’s history. Its bell tower, the La Giralda, was once the minaret of an Almohad mosque. Today, it offers stunning panoramic views of Seville's historic capital.

    • Christopher Columbus' tomb: The subject of much debate and scrutiny, the cathedral also houses the tomb of this ever-so-famous Italian explorer.

    • Patio de los Naranjos: Stroll through this historic orange-tree courtyard, a remnant of the site’s Islamic past.
