Had a wonderful afternoon today it was very hot but we still enjoyed it our guide Sam was so lovely and so knowledgable and had a great sense of humour myself and my daughter loved him
Giralda tower is a long way up with stairs. However you have the option to not climb. Also tour guide needs to speak more slowly.
Thank you for your feedback. The climb to the Giralda is indeed demanding for some visitors, which is why participants are always free to decide whether to go up or not. We also appreciate your comment regarding the guide’s speaking pace and will take it into account to continue improving the experience for all visitors. Best regards, OWAY Tours
It was super average tour with simple facts about the constructions of the sites, did not went deeper on details.
Thank you for your feedback. This tour is designed as a general guided overview of Seville’s main monuments, combining the Cathedral and Giralda experience within a limited timeframe. For visitors looking for a much deeper and more specialized historical analysis, separate extended visits to each monument may indeed be more suitable. We still appreciate your comments and are glad you were able to visit these iconic landmarks. Best regards, OWAY Tours
We are so pleased with Sam. He was entertaining and oh so very knowledgeable. We absolutely loved his energy. He navigated us ably and respectfully through the throng, which I appreciate in Holy places. The many side chapels could take hours to see, so it was helpful for him to prioritize which ones to see based on our.interests. Among the best tours I have taken!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the experience with Sam. His energy, knowledge and ability to adapt the visit to each group are qualities we truly value in our team. The Cathedral is an extraordinary place with so much history and detail, so we’re very happy to know that Sam helped make the experience both meaningful and enjoyable for you. It means a lot to us to hear that this was among the best tours you have taken. Best regards, OWAY Tours
Know the color of the guide's flag. We waited 15 minutes and could not join the group.
Merci pour votre commentaire. Nous sommes désolés pour la confusion au point de rendez-vous. Le guide porte toujours l’identification correspondante d’OWAY Tours et toutes les informations de rencontre figurent clairement sur le voucher de réservation. Dans des zones très fréquentées comme les alentours de la Cathédrale, surtout en haute saison, il peut y avoir de nombreux groupes et guides en même temps. Nous recommandons toujours d’arriver quelques minutes à l’avance et de nous contacter immédiatement en cas de difficulté pour localiser le groupe afin que nous puissions vous aider rapidement. Best regards, OWAY Tours

Thank you very much for your review. We’re happy to hear you found the tour well organized. As you mention, WhatsApp is very useful for quick communication and updates, especially in dynamic tourist areas and busy schedules. Best regards, OWAY Tours
Really worth it! Laura guided the visit with charisma and contagious enthusiasm :) Super recommend!
Muito obrigado pela sua avaliação! 😊 Ficamos muito felizes por saber que gostou da visita com a Laura e da sua energia contagiante. Best regards, OWAY Tours
This was one of the most stressful booking experiences I’ve had. The operator kept changing the time and even the meeting point, including last-minute updates while I was already traveling. Communication was inconsistent and often contradictory, making it difficult to know what was actually confirmed. After several days of confusion and back-and-forth, I completely lost confidence in the operator and chose not to attend. The lack of organization and accountability made this a very disappointing experience. This operator should not be listed on Viator.
The tour guide was good but the instructions from Viator on where to meet caused unnecessary stress. It reads that you need to collect tickets from a collection point which on the day we attended was closed, instructions also dont pinpoint the tour guide so we asked numerous guides until we found ours.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found the guide good and the tour itself enjoyable. However, we’re sorry for the confusion regarding the meeting instructions. We understand how important clear directions are and will continue working to improve clarity in the information provided prior to the tour. Best regards, OWAY Tours
The guide changed the time of the tour. We arrived 30 minutes prior to the tour and could not find the guide and we consequently missed the tour and the experience at great cost. We tried to communicate via the app without success. Very u fortunate.
