Review below the sights visited
Set in the middle of the park’s elaborate Moorish-style gardens, Plaza de España was built in a classic Renaissance Revival style, and is now home to several important Government buildings. . Its semi-elliptic floor is surrounded by an estuary that separates the inner plaza by a marble banister. Four tiled brick bridges, representing different regions of Spain, allow access across the estuary
“Bairro de Santa Cruz” the famous Jewish quarter located in the city center, surrounded by beautiful and big houses, palaces and white backyards smelling like flowers. Wander around Santa Cruz, admiring its cluster of whitewashed houses and lively tapas bars that spill onto the streets
Stop at least for photos outside Seville Cathedral, one of the world’s largest Gothic cathedrals.
The Cathedral and the “Alcazar” Palace – originally a Moorish fort and once the Royal family residence. This palace is one of the best remaining examples of “Mudéjar” architecture, a style under Christian rule in Spain using Islamic architectural influence. Walk around the outside of Real Alcazar Palace, home of King Juan Carlos, and admire its array of architectural styles that range from Moorish to Neoclassical. The entrance is not included and please be careful with the time if you decided to use all you free time in Seville (3 hours) to visit the palace
Sightsee independently, shop for souvenirs or relax over lunch in one of the city’s atmospheric tapas bars (own expense); how you enjoy your free time is up to you! Then, meet your guide at the prearranged time and travel back to your hotel in the Algarve where your day trip finishes. The guide will provide you 3 hours in total in Seville to use on your own after giving all information and explanation of seville importance.
Explore Maria Luisa Park, and hear how its centerpiece square and palace complex Plaza de España was created for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition World’s Fair.

Excellent trip. a very valuable tour, a day of many adventures in Seville, with a guide and an excellent drivers.
Agradecemos os seus comentários e esperamos poder recebê-lo novamente!
Loved Seville! Would love to go back there! Would have rated 5 stars, but didn’t like how the bus ride home, everyone was dropped off at their individual hotels! Where as in the morning, there were several people at each pick up spot! Also our tour guide really pushed the one hour boat ride, which I don’t recommend! Your time is better spent exploring this beautiful city!
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you loved Seville and enjoyed exploring such a beautiful city. Regarding the return journey, we’d like to clarify that the drop-off process is the same as in the morning: guests are returned to the same meeting point where they were picked up, which is the closest designated meeting point to their hotel. This means that several guests may share the same drop-off location, just as at the start of the tour. You are free to use your free time in Seville in the way that best suits you, and we fully understand that some guests prefer to explore the city on foot. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again on another tour.
Excellent from start to finish . Bus timing and pick ups were prompt and very well organised. The guide was very knowledgeable with a pleasant reassuring manner.
We sincerely appreciate your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Seville Tour and that everything ran smoothly. Thank you for your kind words, we hope to welcome you again soon.
The trip was good but I felt Ana our tour guide was pushing us more to do the boat ride and visit the garden . She was discouraging us to do the castle and the cathedral, which were actually the highlight of the trip. The boat ride is pretty mediocre, I would have felt very disappointed if I didn’t visit the cathedral or do the whole old town square by myself using a horse carriage.
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip overall and that the castle, cathedral, and old town were highlights for you. We sincerely appreciate your input, as it helps us improve and continue delivering better experiences for our guests.
Seville is a beautiful city and I was glad to experience just a taster today! Our guide Ana was amazing and very knowledgeable and gave us insight to a lot of history of the city and its culture!
We strive diligently to provide our guests with a rich and meaningful experience. Thank you sincerely for your kind feedback!
The trip to Seville, Spain was amazing. We have booked all 6 of our tours in Portugal with Viator Tours and highly recommend them.

The day was long but enjoyable. Ana the guide is possibly the best guide I have ever had on any trip or tour both overseas or at home. She is very personable, humorous and knowledgeable. Her briefings and updates were in English and German and were very smoothly transitioned. The day in Seville was initially escorted to give us our bearings before allowing us to have about 5 hours to explore ourselves.
We strive diligently to provide our guests with a rich and meaningful experience. Thank you sincerely for your kind feedback!
Seville is a beautiful city. Lots of historical buildings to see. The expo exhibition was a surprise.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for joining our Seville excursion. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and the highlights of the city. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
We did not have a good experience with the guide. We felt abandoned by the guide. If he would of handed us a Hop on Hop off brochure, we would of least had a map of the city. When we went to go into the Palace, there were not tickets available. Our guide told us to meet at 1.45 to go on the River Cruise which we did. On the ticket it said it included a free walking tour, which our guide did not tell us and at that point we had no time to do this as we had to get back on the bus. If we would of known, we could of did the walking tour, then the river cruise. As it worked out, we basically went to Seville for lunch and back to Portugal.
We’re truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience you faced during your Seville excursion. We regret that your experience didn’t meet expectations. Your feedback is very valuable, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it. Our goal is always to provide a smooth and enjoyable experience, and we’re sorry this wasn’t the case for you. Thank you for your feedback, we will continue working to improve our service.
First on the site, it located my resort as one of the pickup for 7am. Instead, I had to wake up 4am catch an uber to go to a bus station that was not close by 5:45am. We made several stops to pick other at their hotel. Arrive Seville 11am and leave 3pm. A very short tour and last 2 hours alone. Return home 9pm and of course back to bus station and another uber. Trip to Seville direct is only 2 hours but as you can see it was a long day from 4am to9pm.
We regret that your experience didn’t meet expectations. As indicated in our tour description, we provided the closest available pickup point. We understand this required extra travel on your side and apologize for any inconvenience. Regarding the time in Seville, this tour is designed to offer free time so guests can explore the city at their own pace, while also considering the necessary return transfer schedule. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to improve our services. Thank you for sharing your experience.
