Everything was perfect, thanks to the professionalism, expertise, and friendliness (which never hurts) of our invaluable guides Susanna and Filippo, who accompanied us during our visits to the Cathedral and the Alcazar, respectively....it's rare to find guides who can keep the group's attention throughout the entire visit. It was essential to be accompanied by such experienced professionals because there is a risk of getting lost in a "mare magnum." In short, highly recommended.

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 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.

The complex is wonderful and I'm happy that I had the chance to visit it in an organised way. I really appreciate we had free time to walk through Alcazar and see again the splendors. BUT I didn'like the way the tour of the Cathedral was organised, with NO time alocated to the Altar Mayor (biggest in the world). I didn'like that the guide offers poor details about imoortant places (like the Ambassadors Hall, for example), just things that anyone can find on net. I don't understand why the tour includes Giralda as time as the tower was not included in the visit. I paid for looking atbit from outside and for hearing what I alredy found about Giralda before buying tickets.
