The guide, Sam, was great. He accompanied us for three hours and even made it short. The tour and the thread of the story he told us was great.

We are a group of 7 Italian friends and we visited the cathedral and royal palace in Seville with the guide José Maria. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. An experience to recommend Ester

Our visit was scheduled for 2:00 pm and took place in 2 parts. The first part was at Seville Cathedral. Our guide got off to a late start. Unfortunately, the quality of his French didn't allow us to fully understand his explanations. The fact that the tour started late had an impact on the time we had to get up to the Giralda (20 minutes). Then she pointed out a meeting point at the Alcazar with another guide who would take over. Fortunately, on our way to the Alcazar, we bumped into the guide who had accompanied us to the Alcazar. The Alcazar guide spoke excellent French and led us on a fascinating tour of the site. He gave us lots of explanations and anecdotes, which we thoroughly enjoyed. In the end, instead of finishing around 4.30pm, the tour ended shortly before 6pm. It's a pity that the delay didn't allow us to stay afterwards at the Alcazar, which closed at 6.00 pm, to stroll around a bit more once the guide had left us there.

We would have liked to enjoy the gardens. They were closed because of the weather: blue sky, no wind... The tour was suspended for 3 hours because the French-speaking guide didn't know that we were supposed to continue with the cathedral and the giralda. A charming new guide explained the whole cathedral to us... too much perhaps, as it was too late for the giralda and the ticket could not be postponed. Two big disappointments. Otherwise, the French guide was top-notch.

Tour was described as 3 hours - not as two tours, separated by a break, thus making the entire tour 4 1/2 or 5 hours. We could not stay for the second half as we had other plans. Another family of four also had to skip the second half. Our tour was scheduled for 11:45, and we were instructed to arrive 15 minutes early - the guide did not show up until 11:50 or 11:55, and the meeting point was actually around the corner from the location specified on our tickets.

Your experience

Discover the fascinating history of Seville while bypassing lengthy queues at the Alcazar of Seville, the Cathedral, and La Giralda with an authorized guide available in English, Spanish, Italian, German, or French, tailored to your preference.

Alcazar of Seville

Visit the Alcazar of Seville, a palace that was once home to the Spanish ruler Alfonso X of Castille and his son, Peter of Castille. Step through the Lion's Gate and make your way to its lush green gardens. Pass by iconic places such as the Courtyard of Maidens and the Hall of Ambassadors, and marvel at the historical artworks including “The Virgin of the Navigators” and “Azulejo” that are kept on display inside the palace.

Seville Cathedral

Explore the Seville Cathedral, a 16th-century Gothic church and the burial site for Peter of Castille. Inside the cathedral, numerous chapels house religious artifacts and artworks, including the tomb of Christopher Columbus. However, more than the architecture it is the La Giralda that brings tourists to this church. This bell tower, once a minaret during Islamic rule, showcases a fascinating blend of Moorish and Renaissance architectural styles. At its summit, visitors can marvel at the iconic bronze weathervane known as the ""Giraldillo,"" symbolizing faith and triumph.
