Very comprehensive tour of the city covering all the major points of interest. Lots of walking, but they go at a comfortable pace always offering opportunities to rest, if needed.
An exceptionally good walking tour. Miguel clearly loves his city of Seville and seems to know it inside and out. I learnt so much about the architecture, the history, the myths and all about Don Juan. It was a pleasure to spend almost 3 hours with Miguel. Highly recommend this tour…
Thank you very much for your kind words Carolyn, we really hope that you enjoyed the tour and your visit to Sevilla. For us it was a pleasure to share the experience with you. Looking forward to repeat it! Best regards
Our tour was amazing. The Tour Guide was super knowledgeable and could tell exactly what we wanted to see. He took us all around the city, giving us history lessons while showing us all of the important sites. He seem to really enjoy his job and loved entertaining us. We were with him for more than three hours in Seville and could not have been happier. We learned so much from him.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment – we’ll try not to get too flattered and will keep working hard to improve.
Francisco is a great guide. Local and has all the knowledge of Seville. Very accommodating and spoke great English. Went over our contracted time with no issue or pressure to finish. Great private tour.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour & experience, for me it was a pleasure to share those hours with you, Erika & Levi. I hope that you all enjoyed the dinner at the Serranito & that enjoy the rest of your holidays in Spain as well. Big hug & best regards to the whole family
Our guide was wonderful! He shared stories about the history of Seville and brought the city to life. The tour runs longer than the allotted time, so keep that in mind when booking. Highly recommend and do a walking tour at the start of your trip.
Thanks a lot for sharing with us your opinion Lynne, we really appreciate it and hope that you really enjoyed. It was a pleasure for us to share this experience with you.
We had a lovely walk around the historic district. 3 super nice hours where we got around, with lots of good and interesting stories.
Whoa! Your comment gave us a bigger adrenaline rush than the tour itself. Thank you for being so awesome, come back soon before we miss you too much!
Really amazing introduction to this beautiful city! Francisco was a wonderful guide who gave us the history and interesting information in such a friendly manner, making sure we saw all the main highlights as well as showing us in detail on the map lots of his favourite recommendations. Highly recommend this brilliant tour to get your bearings and get all the main highlights during your stay! Thank you Francisco!
My pleasure Natalie & David, it was great sharing those few hours with you in spite of the weather, I really enjoyed our time together. Thank you both for your kind words & hopefully we will meet again someday again in Sevilla...or Leeds : ) Best regards
This tour is a great introduction to Seville and helps you get oriented in the city. There are maps available in the office (meeting place) and your guide can show you where you’ll be going, as well as suggest places to visit on your own. My guide was friendly, personable and knowledgeable about the history of Seville and the places we visited. He made sure I was aware of opportunities to use a restroom (difficult to find public restrooms here). He brought some snacks to share; we also stopped at an upscale candy store where I bought seeds and sampled a chocolate. The tour is 3 hours and you walk at a good clip the entire time. There are pavement, dirt, and cobblestone surfaces, so the ground underfoot is frequently uneven. There are also some stairs, but most are optional. Sturdy shoes are a must.
