Seville Cathedral Tour including tickets and skip the line entry
Description
Discover the most famous monument in which Seville was created around, the Cathedral of Seville. The Cathedral has been the beating heart of Seville since its creation as a mosque in 1198. After Seville fell under Christian rule, the decision was made to create a Cathedral in the place of the mosque that would show off seville’s prosperous wealth. Legend has it that the original design committee wanted the outside world to think they were “mad” for attempting this daunting project. Built in 1507 the Cathedral remains the largest Gothic style Cathedral in the world! Today the famous Giralda bell tower, which lower portion remains from the original 1198 mosque, rises powerfully about the city skyline.

Beautiful cathedral and a fascinating history. We particularly enjoyed the carvings and the story behind them.
Very disappointing. We'd booked this tour with our friends however the company messed up the booking, sending the tickets to the wrong guide. It was too late to get replacement tickets and by the time they worked all this out (30 minutes) it was too late to get tickets for that day, and leaving 3 of the 5 of us unable to visit the Cathedral as they were leaving the following day.
Hi, thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're sorry for the inconveniences you had and we would like to express our most sincere apologies. Kind regards.
Karlos was an amazing guide! Nice pace, funny, and informative!
Great experience with the guide Alvaro
Great tour guide for this tour of the beautiful cathedral. Bring walking shoes if you want to visit the bell tower. It’s ramps, and some steps, but it’s 34 levels. I highly recommend a visit!
This is one of the worst tours I have been on. The office is not air-conditioned where we needed to check in. The audio equipment is inadequate. I had to use two different devices and two different sets of earphones because they didn’t work. And this was not tested before leaving for the cathedral. The one I ended up with only had one battery line which quickly went to zero lines. If I was not standing on top of the tour guide, all I heard was static. I was not informed that I had to cover my shoulders in advance, and so I had to buy an ugly hot scarf to put over my shoulders in 100 degree heat. Every other tour company I have used has texted or emailed detailed information about what to bring, what to expect, and what to do. The tour guide was OK, but I could barely hear her or understand what she was saying which made the explanations less than engaging. Many people ended up leaving before the tour was over, likely for all these reasons. Highly disappointing.
Hi, thank you very much for your feedback. We're sorry but the dress code is clearly stated in the terms and conditions. Kind regards.
Be aware online ticket isn’t your actual ticket, you need to go to tourist office and register in person, and late starting due to technical issues
Hi, thank you very much for your feedback. Actually, It is clearaly listed in the product's description that you have to come to our office to secure your ticket and to download your audioguide. Kind regards.
Our guide spoke clearly and was easy to understand. Despite being a novice Spanish speaker I found it easier to listen to him than the English audio guide I dowloaded on my phone. The tour covered everything; the tomb of Christopher Columbus, the paintings of Goya and El Greco and access to the Giralda. If you need last minute tickets to the Cathedral and can speak a modicum of Spanish, I highly recommend getting a Spanish guide through Viator when the foreign language tours are unavailable.
This was an excellent tour and especially with the knowledge and friendliness of our guide. Skip the line was also smooth and saved a lot of time not having to queue at the main entrance. At other attractions we chose an audio guide but that was a disaster. Way too much information at each stop, plus difficult to hear. Hence advice is forget the audio and take a real person as guide.
Stunning cathedral and knowledge tour guide. Climbing the tower was highlight, an easier climb than most bell towers and the climb is mostly a ramp not stairs.
