A very positive experience, with an Italian-speaking guide dedicated to our group of four. We started by climbing the Giralda via its 34 flights of stairs, enjoying a priceless view of all of Seville. Immediately afterward, we immersed ourselves in the Cathedral with a truly knowledgeable, passionate Italian-speaking guide who paid close attention to every detail. She helped us discover the history and secrets of the chapels, the halls, the magnificent High Altar, and the choir. It was fascinating to learn that the Cathedral houses the tombs of Christopher Columbus and his son. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who wants to fully appreciate this monument without missing a thing.

Hector is a very enthusiastic, pleasant guide, highly knowledgeable, and knows a lot of relevant information about the cathedral and Giralda. We recommend taking tours with him. Next time we are in Seville, we want to visit the Alcazar with him!

The tour was excellent. The guy, although we don't remember his name, was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend this tour in this tour company.

A great guide, good explanations, we got a real eyeful and a workout for our legs with these 35 slopes and 17 steps. I recommend it.
