We considered taking public transportation ourselves, but with a cruise schedule we decided it wasn't worth the uncertainty. I'm glad we chose this option. The pickup at the port was uncomplicated and the ride to Seville was comfortable. Our guide had a good balance between showing us the important places and letting us enjoy the city ourselves. We weren't rushed from one attraction to another. The free time in the center gave our group a chance to split up for a little while and meet back later. Everything seemed to run according to the planned schedule, and we arrived back at the ship comfortably before departure. For a group of friends, it was an easy way to experience Seville during a port day.
This does not describe the trip properly. It sounds as if you get on and off a bus at each place. There is nothing said about walking for two and a half hours, so when I hurt my leg, I did not cancel. When we got to Seville, we learned that we had to walk for miles, so my husband and I left the tour. We were then refused a refund. You should advertise the tour with the amount of walking involved.
My husband and I really enjoyed our day in Seville. We were a little nervous about doing such a long excursion from the cruise port because we didn't want to risk missing the ship, but everything was handled very smoothly. The vehicle was comfortable and cool, and our driver was professional. Our English-speaking guide was personable and gave us interesting background about the city while showing us around. We also had enough free time to explore on our own, which was important to us as a couple. We walked through the central streets, stopped for lunch, and enjoyed the atmosphere without feeling rushed. The return was on time and we got back to the port comfortably before departure. A very nice cruise day overall.
They should call it the 5 mile walk rather that a beautiful Seville family experience . First of all the tour guide walks away telling us about Seville without looking who was following behind. Two elderly people were behind not being able to walk . We thought this tour was hop on and hop off. All he said to this couple was to get their phone out and kind to figure it out. Not helpful at all. Then we walked so long trying to keep up and the breaks were short. We didn’t even have time to eat. We had little kids with short legs to be running. It was like in a lecture classroom. Was going so quickly that I told him he was too quick and wanted to know what was the name of one of the buildings and he said that he was going to tell us in a bit when we would go back to that area. We never went back that way. It is so sad that we requested for half of the money to be refunded because we understand we went but it was a terrible tour and we were denied the refund. I do not recommend this tour. .
Thank you for your recommendation regarding the tour name. We considered your suggestion but decided to keep the original name. By the way, this is not “A Beautiful Seville Family Experience” and it has never been advertised as either a family tour or a private tour, despite what your lovely family may have expected. Please allow us to address the other concerns raised: 1. Central Seville is a pedestrian-only area. Since helicopters are not included in this tour yet, we explore it on foot—as we have done daily from May to November for the past 26 years. 2. Fortunately, this has never been advertised as a hop-on hop-off tour. Such tours are widely available locally and generally do not require advance booking. 3. You booked a shared tour with a standard group pace, not a private and flexible experience. When travelling with small children or elderly family members who are not able to follow group pace, we strongly recommend respecting fellow cruise passengers with limited time ashore and choosing a private tour instead. Alternatively, you may enjoy your preferred hop-on hop-off tour, usually available locally for approximately €20. 4. Your refund request has been declined in full accordance with Viator’s cancellation policy. When booking future activities, we strongly recommend basing your expectations on the published tour description, inclusions, and itinerary rather than on personal assumptions. Safe travels!
The website description is deceptive. The transportation is NOT provided between the sights. It is a long WALKING tour. For non Spanish speaking travelers, our guide was very hard to understand. I didn’t get any information about any of the sights. A very disappointing tour. A waste of precious time.
We regret to hear about your disappointment, but central Seville is a pedestrian-only area. Since helicopters are not included in this tour—at least not yet—we explore it on foot, as we have done daily from May to November for the past 26 years. Please note that not many guides in Europe speak American English. Most speak international English with a local accent: Spanish in Spain, Greek in Greece, French in France, and so on. If you have difficulty understanding accented, non-American English, we strongly recommend travelling outside your home country more often and we wish you many safe and happy travels
What can I say about this Tour? What a horrible experience I thought this Tour was that you were in a bus going on and off and discovering different places how I known that I was gonna be walking for 3 1/2 hours thank God my husband didn’t make it because he had just recently gotten back surgery and I cannot do this while I’m asthmatic. It was hot. The Tour guy just kept on talking and talking and talking and did not pay attention that the people that he was with were tired and we were not even together. We were falling so far and I cannot do this while I’m asthmatic. It was hot. The Tour guy just kept on talking and talking and talking and did not pay attention that the people that he was with we’re tired and we were not even together. We were falling so far behind that we didn’t even know where he went. We have to be calling other people to find out where what did you make a left turn do you make a right turn because it just kept going I would like a full refund of my money because to me this was not worth it. This was just walking if I would’ve known that I was just taking a vehicle to get here to Seville and walk for two hours. I just would’ve walked and taken an Uber here, but I thought this was a tour of getting on getting more going to different types, but this was just walking for 2 1/2 hours
We regret to hear that our tour didn’t meet your expectations, but the Additional Info section of this tour description clearly states then follwing: “Please be advised that this tour is not wheelchair or mobility scooter accessible and may not be suitable for individuals with limited walking ability, as it involves significant walking through Seville’s pedestrian areas.” Booking future activities though Viator, we strongly recommend basing your expectations on the published tour description rather than on personal assumptions. Safe travels
This was the perfect tour of Seville. Starting with the van transport. It was a very clean, comfortable and modern van with air conditioning! It met us right at the port which was very convenient. The ride was very comfortable. Our tour guide Sergio was amazing. Took us to all of the important sites and was full of historical facts and fun pop culture trivia. They were flexible as far as how long we wanted our free time to be. Then the bus got us back to the ship exactly when we requested to be back.
We joined as a family with two young children and had a really smooth experience. The guide was friendly and made everything easy to follow. Nothing felt rushed and we were able to enjoy each stop at our own pace. A comfortable day out overall.
We went as a family with children and everything was very well organized. The guide was patient, easygoing, and made sure everyone felt comfortable. The pace of the trip suited all ages and we never felt rushed. A really enjoyable day overall.
As someone travelling alone, I felt completely at ease. The group was respectful and the guide made sure I was included in conversations. It felt safe and well-managed throughout.
