This felt more like walking with a friend than a formal guided tour and suited us perfectly. Guillo was an informative and personable walking companion who gently corralled us to stop at points of interest where he shared secrets and stories that are less prominent in the guide books. We were blessed with perfect weather for our activity and this walk was definitely one of the highlights of our visit to Seville.
My husband and I were visiting Seville for the first time. We scheduled our tour with Carlos the first full day there and it was excellent! Right from the start, he was kind and friendly and clearly very knowledgeable about the history of the city as well as in current times. We happened to be visiting during Faria so our tour took us to the grounds to see some of the casitas set up for the festival which was incredible. And the women and girls dressed in these gorgeous flamenco outfits was fantastic! Our tour took us all over the city as well as along the river. So much to see and learn! Carlos was an excellent guide and we highly recommend this tour! Be prepared to walk a lot and see one beautiful site after another.
Abby our tour guide in Seville, was super good. Her knowledge and passion for the lesser-known areas made the tour very interesting. Abby's attention to detail and personalized recommendations made the tour perfect. I highly recommend her if you want to discover the hidden gems of Seville.
We very much enjoyed our two-hour "Off the Beaten Path" walking tour of Sevilla. There were just the two of us, so we had the undivided attention of our guide, Nico. He was friendly and knowledgeable (and spoke EXCELLENT English!) and he included lots of interesting little tidbits of information about the neighborhood we explored. This is a great tour to take if you've already seen the "usual" sites and want to learn a little more about some of the parts of the city that aren't necessarily in a guidebook.
With Abby as our guide we had a great tour in Seville! Enjoyed Mercado de Feria, its Jamon Iberico and Almendras,.. the Live&Work project, Convent, street market and whatever came along Abby was very easy in connecting with the people involved with the highlights we met. The only downside is the location to meet up. Was difficult to find! Thanks Abby!!
My 21 yo daughter and I love our Off the Beaten Path tour with Abby! We wondered around the area of Seville where the Sevillians live! We walked into shops and markets and even rang the bell of a cloistered convent. Sister came to the door, welcomed us in (even though they are closed on Mondays) and we bought some marmalade. We popped into churches and saw the Mushrooms. Abby was very personable and we laughed and talked. Abby made this a success. The only downside is the location to meet up. Our taxi dropped us at the correct spot but the address is hidden. Abby found us and we were ok, but Not Just A Tourist did this with another tour as well. There's no reason not to chose a better, more identifiable meet up spot. Thank you Abby!!
Loved seeing another side of Sevilla! Our guide was very personable and we strolled into places like an olive store, flower market, churches, the mushrooms, and rang the bell of a cloistered convent. A sweet little nun opened the large metal door and we bought some marmalade from her despite not being open for business. All of this because of Abby who was so kind and respectful. It really was a lovely way to spend the morning. The meeting point is weird. I'd suggest the same address and then telling people to walk across the street to the plaza and the statues there.
We had a great tour guide who was very pleasant and knowledgeable. That being said, of the seven or so similar tours we took during this trip, this one was completely overpriced (and non refundable to boot!). And, there was no drink provided as described on the tour description. That's why I gave it only 3 stars. Also, if you are going to do this tour, recommend the daytime as a lot of places were closed when we were there. (We had to do the evening tour due to scheduling)
Julia, our charming and well informed guide met us promptly and took us off around the streets of our neighborhood (Macarena/Almeda) pointing out all kinds of interesting shops, restaurants and nooks and crannies of local life. We have already lunched at one of her recommended places and look forward to visiting others and enjoying some flamenco which she was very passionate about. Thanks Julia.
We visited another Seville away from tourist places. We took a tour of the north side of the city where the locals meet to go out. A very nice time in the company of our guide Federico who knew how to accompany us throughout this walk! I strongly recommend it to see a hidden part of the city!
