Itinerary
The manager will introduce you to your guide at the Immaculada Monument, and together you’ll access the interiors of the monuments.
Be guided through the Cathedral of Seville, not only one of the largest churches in the world but also a fantastic museum with remarkable pieces of art. A pleasant stroll along the different styles used to build their five naves and more than forty altars and chapels. We'll stop in the most interesting ones, sharing curiosities like empty graves, stolen pictures, or the Virgin revered by traders and sailors in order to survive the hazardous transoceanic trips. We’ll highlight the biggest altarpiece in the whole Christianity, in the Main Chapel, and the choir sited in front of it. As well as the huge mausoleum of Christopher Columbus, full of symbols.
Discover the extraordinary symbol of Seville. Learn about the amazing past of the tower from the famous Patio de los Naranjos (Orange Tree Courtyard). To complete the visit we will encourage you to climb the thirty-four ramps to enjoy an amazing 360 degrees view of the city underneath its bells.
The experience continues with the Royal Alcazar, the oldest European Royal Palace still in use. This magical place comprises several palaces and rooms, graced by awe-inspiring gardens, representing a harmonious synthesis between Christian and Muslim cultures.
As the icing on the cake, we will walk through its famous gardens; a vast green space with Islamic influences, Renaissance details, and a romantic soul. A true delight for the senses.

Our guide, Lola, gave us an excellent history of the cathedral and the alcázar, which is really a history of Seville. She was informative but never boring. We thought the tour might be too long but the time flew by! Highly recommended.
Incredible tour given by Andres. He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us the highlights that we wanted to know. I’m a huge proponent of small group tours, and this was my favorite yet. If you care about having an educational, close, and thoughtful tour, go with this one. You won’t be disappointed.
Andres , our guide was fantastic. He combined a wealth of knowledge with humour throughout the tour. We highly recommend him.
Andrea was awesome. Best guide ever. So very knowledgeable and courteous. Excellent English. Always would recommend him.
Andres was incredibly intelligent and made the history we learned so comprendible.
Alfonso was an incredible guide - his knowledge and clear passion for both the Alcazar and the cathedral, willingness to customize the tour to our group’s interests, and great conversation, made this a definite highlight of our time in Sevilla.
Good for skip the queue and best viewing spots. Lots of detail about building styles and history including royalty and cultural influences. The guides knowledge and English was very good but sometimes the speed and accent meant good concentration was needed.
A dres was the vast tour guy. Engaging and CB passionate about sharing history. Kept us interested and ensured we were avoiding larger tour groups once inside. A must for everyone!
Could not have been happier with our tour and our tour guide Andres. We were a small group of SIX people only which was phenomenal, especially as groups of 20-50 people passed us in clumps. Andres was so knowledgeable, funny, and thoughtful in both tour arrangements and also giving breaks. We came out with so much more knowledge than an average tour and with a personalized small group, it couldn't have been better. Highly recommend and definitely would say to avoid the crown tours and anything over 15-20 people - you'll regret not having booked this tour instead. Highly recommended! Thank you Andres!
Excellent tour, Farran our guide was extremely informative, thoroughly enjoyed it we booked the smaller group size which we found much better
