The whole guided trip to "Seville Cathedral and La Giralda" was organized and easy to keep up with from beginning to end. Getting to the location where I will meet the tour guide and other tourists within the group was easy. They began by distributing an ear piece that we wear to be able to hear the tour guide better when he's walking and explaining. Our tour guide began the tour on time and began explaining the history of the two sites we were about to reach from the beginning of the walk all the way until the end of the trip. He explained the most important things within the Seville Cathedral and the La Giralda. It was interactive too as he asked us questions to get our opinions on some facts he said. The only note was that his Spanish accent kind of came through when he's explaining in English and so it was a bit hard to understand what he was saying.

Unfortunately there was a death in the church, causing the cathedral to open late. This in itself was of course no fault of the guide- the guide was wonderful. However- the tour was set to start at 11:30. By 12:20 we got into the cathedral. We were then prompted to climb the tower or "explore on our own" for 20 minutes. By 12:45 the tour actually started. We were shown 3 thinfs then the guide ended at 1pm to go to another tour. Not what you expect when paying a high price for a guide.

The departure time was moved up twice, and in the end we left right on time. Then we went up the Giralda Tower, which wasn't very interesting, and we didn't have enough time to visit the cathedral... It's a shame because the guide was really interesting. A bit disappointing...
