Great experience! Hector is a fantastic guide, has a lot of knowledge and knows how to make different topics interesting. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun :) I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know more about Alcazar and Cathedral, and Sevilla in general.
Wonderful tour! We enjoyed the history, art, and architecture of the Cathedral and Palace. Hector was a great guide!
We had such a great time on this tour! Hector clearly knows Sevilla inside and out, and the way he tells the history makes it come to life. If you're worried about the language barrier, don't be as his English is great and he's super easy to talk to. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it means even more knowing he's third-generation, he's sharing stories that have been passed down in his own family for years. Highly recommend!!! ☺️
The tour guide Hector was very good at explaining the tour, speacily the little details.
Hector was AMAZING! We have never done a guided tour before and he has set the bar very high! The information he knows about the cathedral is unreal just like the cathedral itself!
This was a fantastic experience. Friendly guide, small party. Perfect pace. Enjoyable. The gardens are lush & the atmosphere was incredible. Recommend an early booking to avoid the crowds.
Hector extremely knowledgeable, friendly and gave information about the area as well as just the tour
Hector was a fantastic guide, we learnt so much and it was so well organised! Fantastic experience would highly recommend.
We had a guided English speaking tour of the Alcazar with Hector. Hector was a wonderful guide, full of knowledge and passion for his homeland. Couldn't have asked for a better guide. Thank you Hector
Hector was very knowledgeable and went into a lot of detail, making the tour more interesting than usual. We highly recommend him for anyone visiting Alcazar.
