Marta was a wonderful guide. Our group of four enjoyed seeing the beautiful Seville Cathedral and climbing to the top of the Giralda Tower. Marta had very interesting historical details to share; we all learned so much more than if we had done a self-guided tour. I would definitely recommend experiencing both the cathedral and the tower in the small group tour setting.
Thank you so much, Pamela! We’re really glad you enjoyed the Cathedral and Giralda tour with Marta. Her way of sharing the historical context truly helps bring these incredible monuments to life. It’s wonderful to hear your small group enjoyed the experience so much and felt it added far more than a self-guided visit. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in Seville! 😊

Carmen did a wonderful job leading our tour of the Seville Cathedral and Giralda Tower. Her expertise on the architecture and the vast history of the cathedral was impressive. She managed the tour perfectly, ensuring that we saw all of the highlights while providing fascinating context that we would have missed on our own. A highlight of our time in Seville!

There is lots to see and observe so ensure you book a tour with pre booked tickets as the day’s allocation sells out. Give this tour plenty of time and don’t try to see everything in a rush. Our guide showed us the main points and explained the history. It was excellent: our guide, Carmen, was a very knowledgeable historian who gave us many details we would have missed on our own. Luckily we had her to ourselves so it was like a private tour - more of a conversation with an expert rather than another tourist experience.
Thank you so much, Susan! We’re really glad you enjoyed the Cathedral tour with Carmen. She has a wonderful way of turning the visit into something much more personal and engaging. It’s great to hear you could take your time and enjoy it almost like a conversation — that makes all the difference. We hope to welcome you again in Seville! 😊
