Het meest iconische monument van Sevilla. Het was de minaret van de oorspronkelijke moskee. De bouwwerkzaamheden begonnen in 1184. Met een hoogte van 117,50 meter was het destijds het hoogste gebouw van Europa. La Giralda heeft geen trappen, maar hellingen die dik genoeg zijn om tijdens het paardrijden naar de top te kunnen klimmen, om de oproep tot het gebed 5 keer per dag te vergemakkelijken.
Nadat Fernando III de stad op de moslims had veroverd, werd volgens Leendend besloten een kathedraal te bouwen, zo groot dat iedereen die hem voltooid ziet, ons als gekke mannen zal beschouwen. De kathedraal werd gebouwd op de oorspronkelijke plaats van de moskee, waarbij sommige delen van het origineel nog steeds bewaard zijn gebleven. Het werd door UNESCO tot Werelderfgoed verklaard.
Eén van de meest indrukwekkende monumenten van Sevilla, absoluut een must see. Koninklijk Alcázar is een versterkt paleis. Nog steeds de officiële residentie van de koninklijke familie als ze Sevilla bezoeken. Gebouwd tijdens de islamitische periode, waren de prachtige kamers en tuinen het scenario geweest van beroemde producties zoals Game of Thrones of Lawrence of Arabia
Gebouwd als het Spaanse paviljoen voor de Ibero-Amerikaanse tentoonstelling van 1929, wordt het beschouwd als het meesterwerk van de geniale architect Ánibal González. Geplaatst in de majestueuze Maria Luisa-tuin, bevat het verwijzingen naar alle provincies van Spanje en naar de verschillende stijlen ervan.
Deze tuin behoorde vroeger tot de tuinen van het paleis van San Telmo, in 1893 door María Luisa Fernanda de Orleans aan de stad geschonken. Naast de indrukwekkende tuinen en fonteinen herbergt het zowel Plaza America als Plaza de España.
Gebouwd tijdens het islamitische Almohade-bewind in Sevilla. Het werd later gebruikt om het goud op te slaan dat afkomstig was uit de koloniën in de ¨Indias Occidentales¨ (Zuid-Amerika).
Gelegen in het oude centrum van de stad, was deze doolhofachtige wijk vroeger ook de joodse wijk van de stad. Het is gevuld met oude huizen, patio's en paleizen, maar ook met leyedns, romantiek en mysterie.
Stenen gebouw uit de achttiende eeuw, opgericht als de eerste tabaksfabriek in Europa. Tegenwoordig is hier het hoofdgebouw van de Universiteit van Sevilla gevestigd
De rivier de Guadalquivir, oorspronkelijk Betis genoemd in de Romeinse tijd, is de grootste rivier van Andalusië en een van de weinige die navigatie in Spanje mogelijk maakt. Hij ontspringt in de bergen van het natuurpark Sierras de Cazorla y Segura.
Iconische wijk aan de andere oever van de rivier. Beschouwd in mei als het culturele hart van Spanje, beroemd omdat het een van de oorspronkelijke plaatsen is van flamencomuziek, meesterschap met keramiek en literatuur. Dit is de plaats waar veel originele Spaanse ontdekkingsreizigers en veroveraars vandaan kwamen.
Oorspronkelijk opgericht als militaire en cavalerieschool voor de adel in de zeventiende eeuw. Het wordt beschouwd als een van de belangrijkste stierenvechtarena's ter wereld, zeggen velen het meest.

We loved this tour. Our guide was so nice and knowledgeable. We learned so much about Seville. We would do it again all day!
Thank you for choosing our bike tour, we look forward to seeing you on your next trip ;)
We had previously gone to Seville and wanted to do something different. Looking we found this activity and saw it at a good price. It was much better than the idea we got. It's a pretty nice way to visit the city. They took care of us pretty well. We booked through their website and "everything went on wheels" :D
:) nunca mejor dicho !!!
Really enjoyed this. Great way to see the highlights with kids. Highly recommended. Thank you - would do again.
Thank you for choosing us ;)
Take three friends aged 55-66 add bikes and a decent guide; brilliant! Pitched the pace and the chat perfectly.
Seville is best enjoyed by bicycle, have a safe trip home!
Great tour with Emilio. He was able to provide a pleasant ride while educating us throughout the tour. We saw all the highlights and some hidden gems. Emilio had a great personality which added to the experience.
Emilio is from Seville, he's very talented :) Thanks for your review
Wonderful experience-perfect guide with lots of history info. Perfect way to start our city break as we instantly knew the places to revisit ourselves & the wonderful history of Seville & landmarks. Invited any questions & super friendly happy guide. Thank you.
:) Come back soon, thanks for sharing your story
We had a fantastic tour with Emilio and Mariah, which we really enjoyed. Led by Emilio, he was knowledgeable and fun, and we saw all the sights and learnt so much about Seville. The routes were quiet, safe, and flat along quiet streets and designated cycle paths, and the bikes were easy to ride. At the end of the tour, Emilio provided recommendations for places to go, so all in all, we had a great introduction to Seville. We would definitely recommend
Thank you for your review, we look forward to seeing you on your next trip.
The tour was great the timing was relaxed and the guide Emillio is brilliant, keeping everyone informed and entertained. He is a 5 star guide. But if you are a bike geek like me the bikes are ok but a little old hence my 4 stars. Although don’t let that put you off, the tour was fun and my wife and I really enjoyed it
Thank you for your review
Emilio was a wonderful host, knowledgeable, approachable and engaging in all the right measure. The tour was physically short/undemanding but lasted about three hours and was great fun. A brilliant way to orient ourselves on the first night.
Thank you for your review, it makes us happy to read this :)
It was very disappointing when I arrived at the bike shop to be told that my 3 hour bike tour would need to be canceled since I was the only one who signed up. While I would have been required to cancel at least 24 hours in advance, this company does not apply this policy to itself, waiting for the unsuspecting traveler to show up before offering a refund, a significantly reduced tour, or a private tour for more money. The company had my contact information and could very easily have communicated with me the day before the tour to advise that I was the only scheduled participant, and therefore they would have to cancel or modify the reservation. Had they done so, that would have allowed me to 1) cancel in advance, 2) make other arrangements, or 3) stay with this company but with an alternative tour. As it was, they waited until I showed up to notify me of the cancellation of my tour, causing me considerable consternation. I had very limited time in Sevilla, with a flight scheduled that same evening, and I was looking forward to riding around in the morning to see the highlights of this beautiful city, just as I had in Porto and Madrid days prior. I believe it is disrespectful to their prospective client to wait until the client shows up to advise of the cancellation or severe modification of their tour. While I originally requested a refund so I could do the Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour, I was informed by Emilio, the tour guide, that the 1 hour Segway tour, if I understood him correctly, would essentially cover the same areas. Emilio even told me I could purchase the ticket for the bus tour from him. After the original plans clearly were not going to be honored, and not wanting to lose any more time, I agreed to the 1 hour Segway tour, which I then negotiated into a 3 hour Segway tour for another $30 after really liking the Segway. So, I got the same 3 hours that I originally paid for, but on a Segway, and for almost double the price. The company should have honored the original 3 hours, at the original price, even if I had to switch over to the Segway for whatever reason. With all that said, the Segway turned out to be incredibly fun and I would definitely do it again. I can highly recommend a Segway tour. While Emilio was extremely informative and friendly, and even took cool video of me while at one of the sites, I don’t like the way I was treated by this company. Despite travelers coming from great distances to experience the city, this company behaved unapologetically toward me, and essentially told me that I should have known in advance that the cancellation of my tour was a possibility. While I wish I were psychic, I am not. I do recall reading something about minimum numbers for some tour or another but I looked at dozens of tours at my different travel destinations and I didn’t memorize each tour’s policies. I would have expected to learn of this company’s cancellation in advance, just as I would have had to cancel 24 hours before the scheduled tour. Of the 7 tours I booked weeks before leaving home for my travels, only the bike tour with this company didn’t work out. For them to behave as though I should have known better, leaves a lot to be desired. The tour with this company could easily have been 5 stars if not for the poor customer service experience. After I posted an initial review, they responded "I'm sorry, but you should read the purchase conditions. If there's only one participant, the tour can't be done. However, we can offer you a private tour; the price is lower. And we did, but you preferred the Segway. The tour you took costs €70 because it's private. We charged you €60, you only paid a fair price, but I encourage you to speak clearly. If you didn't like the price of a private, personalized tour, you should have simply accepted the refund. I apologize for the inconvenience, but we have purchasing policies. Thank you." Wow. What a response! I wouldn't do business with this company again.
It's incredible that despite receiving excellent service and a tour just for you, you gave this rating! You don't have instant messaging, and the terms are clear: routes don't start with just one participant.
