Our guide Guylaine's enthusiasm and energy! The anecdotes about Isabella of Castile, as well as the many photos she shared with us to illustrate her points, were particularly interesting. I now know the difference between private and public spaces! I also liked the explanations about the two cultures, Christian and Muslim, which have put their artistic skills at the service of aesthetics. A spirit of tolerance 🙏

My daughter and I visited the royal palace, the cathedral, and the Giralda tower with Elena, our excellent guide. This delightful and highly knowledgeable guide gave us an in-depth understanding of all the details of these dreamlike places and helped us discover a piece of Spanish culture, always with a smile, despite the wealth of information. I highly recommend this tour and our guide Elena, who is from Seville but speaks perfect Italian.

What a wonderful tour of this beautiful city, hector was one of the best guides I've ever had on a guided tour. He was knowledgeable friendly and showed us round every small interesting piece of the cathedral then we had a little break and then we were taken into the palace to have a look at all the lovely architecture there. We were lucky enough to have him for just us 3! Definitely recommend! Keep up the good work! Ryan and family

    What I liked most was the Real Alcazar. The cathedral is beautiful, but it was covered in scaffolding, which detracted from its beauty. The guide was very friendly.

    Our fantastic guide, who was extremely knowledgeable and very welcoming, explained the history and stories of the various places and characters very well. He was able to attract and maintain the attention of the two 15-year-olds who were with us!
