The ticketing and entry experience was very smooth. We got in immediately and everything was very punctually organized. The tour was simply amazing. The Tour Guide Maria is excellent. Even though it was crowded, she managed to show us the the important parts and emphasize on intricate details with a comprehensive narrative and a humorous touch. She gave us enough relevant information to get us started and then let us explore on our own. Absolutely amazing experience. Very much recommended.

Nice tour, but it doesn't really last 90 minutes. You have to include the time before departure and the time to queue before entering the cathedral, so the tour is really more than 50 minutes. It was enough for us, but very spacious and quick. You can still stay on afterwards and visit on your own. Our guide Aida was very kind and very good!

The day didn't start well our booked time slot was 11.00 and we were amalgamated with two other groups and the time actually was 11.30. The chap was very knowledgeable but not always clear on the microphone. The Alcazar in the afternoon on time but was delayed by the administration. The buildings were impressive and worth seeing.

    Without a doubt, the guide Isabel was phenomenal! She was cheerful and, as well as talking about the history, she told us curious facts that made a difference to the young people who were there. She talked about details of Spanish history related to her childhood. She lent me her own blouse because I had forgotten to bring a scarf to cover my shoulders. The tour, the ease of getting in without queuing... everything was great. I would definitely buy other experiences with this company.

    The guide was helpful and informative and a fast-track without the necessity to wait in a long queue (it was actually massive) created an amazing experience from this spectacular landmark!

    What to expect

    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.

    • La Giralda: Ascend the ramps of the cathedral's bell tower for sweeping city and countryside vistas & go back in time to when the muezzins ascended the tower on horseback to issue the call to prayer.

    • 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.
