Lola was fantastic. She knew the history. Learned a lot. Had time to wander the grounds. Lucked out with almost one on one excursion! Ask for Lola!

Perfect amount of time to see the palace, cathedral and tower. Lola was our amazing tour guide. She answered all our questions about the sites and Seville. Definitely recommend
We were so happy with this tour! There was so much to see and our tour guide was able to share so much information with us. We were also pleased with the small group experience! Highly recommended!
We really enjoyed and recommend this tour of the Giralda, Cathedral, & Alcázar. No waiting to get in. Our tour guide, Ferren, was extremely knowledgeable about the history and architecture. We moved at a good pace, never feeling rushed. There is so much to see & it is quite stunning…all of it!!! We climbed to the top of the giralda & had time to take in the 360 views and take pictures. Quite stunning! The Alcázar & Cathedral are both stunning & should not be missed. Loved that this tour included all 3 sights together. Thank you Ferren for making it so meaningful!!!
Great tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and balanced historical details with good humour and paced the different venues very well, inlding personal time for own exploration.
Andre was just fantastic very knowledgeable great tour of cathedral and alczar having a private tour was more beneficial
Amazing Experience! Andres was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and experienced. It was fantastic to be able to learn about some of the history of Spain. I highly recommend booking this tour.
We had a great time on this tour. Our guide, Andres, was very knowledgeable on the history of Seville and the places we visited. I highly recommend it.
Ferran was excellent- humorous and informative and very accommodating when we needed to leave a bit early. Alkazar is amazing.
Andres was the perfect guide and shared just enough knowledge without boring you with too much information. He kept the tour moving at a good pace and showed you all the highlights so that you felt like you did not miss anything. He was very friendly and made the tour an enjoyable experience. I would skip walking to the top of the Giralda tower as it is very crowded at the top and the views are all fenced in and not as good as expected.
Farran was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Tour covered everything we wanted to see. Highly recommend!
Amazing small group tour with Lola, only 8 in our group, clear communication and an easy pace. Recommend.
This two-site tour was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide, Ferran, is so incredibly knowledgeable. He truly brought the history of Alcazar and the cathedral to life. This Seville tour is a must!
We had a fabulous tour with an experienced and informative guide. It’s definitely worth it to join a small tour such as this. There were only four people on our tour and the small size made it so easy to navigate the crowds and get a closer view of all the details.
Ferren was very knowledgeable and engaging. He paced the tour well, providing time to soak in the sights while pointing out interesting facts. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.
Andres was a fantastic tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommend the small group tour!
Very informative and it was great to go with a small group of nine people. Andres our tour guide was absolutely amazing and very, very clear to understand.
Great experience. Our tour guide was fantastic. Very informative and passionate. A lovely day. Beautiful locations.
The Alcazar palace and the Cathedral of Seville are so beautiful and historic! Our guide Andreas was expert at providing a perfect balance of historical and cultural information to enhance our appreciation of these treasures - thank you, Andreas! Would highly recommend this tour.
Very good tour with Ferran as our guide. He provided detailed information on the history of the Cathedral and the Alcazar plus implications on the dramatic changes for Seville over many centuries. It was rather hot the day of the tour and the hike up the Cathedral bell tower was a bit challenging, but worth it.
Andres (our tour guide) was exceptional. He presented a wealth of facts, and did so in an intriguing and engaging way. This was our first time in Seville, and Andres left us with a lasting impression!
Our family was privileged to have Andres as our private guide through the Alcazar and Seville cathedral. His knowledge of the history, architecture, and cultural details was impressive and most interesting. We appreciated his commentary and responses to our numerous questions. He ensured the tour was well paced, balancing time for breaks and finding shady places along our route for comfort. Given our group's relatively small size, he was able to plan our path along the tour to provide us with optimal viewing and photo opportunities. It was a wonderful tour of two of Seville's great treasures that we will all remember. We highly recommend it.
Lovely guide but the tour was a bit rushed. Would have loved more time to fully enjoy the Alcazar. We also started 15 minutes late. It would have been good to know about the delay before I arrived. The Alcázar was stunning.
We had a wonderful experience touring the Alcázar, Cathedral, and Giralda. Each site was beautiful and fascinating, and our tour guide, Fernand, made the experience even more enjoyable. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and did a fantastic job bringing the history and stories of these incredible landmarks to life.
The tour was great, perfect amount of time. Our guide, Lola was amazing! She was professional, knowledgeable, fun and very caring.
Farran is incredibly knowledgeable (he is an archeologist) and a wealth of information. The Cathedral and Alcazar are stunningly beautiful.
Our guide, Lola, gave us an excellent history of the cathedral and the alcázar, which is really a history of Seville. She was informative but never boring. We thought the tour might be too long but the time flew by! Highly recommended.
Incredible tour given by Andres. He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us the highlights that we wanted to know. I’m a huge proponent of small group tours, and this was my favorite yet. If you care about having an educational, close, and thoughtful tour, go with this one. You won’t be disappointed.
Andres , our guide was fantastic. He combined a wealth of knowledge with humour throughout the tour. We highly recommend him.
Andrea was awesome. Best guide ever. So very knowledgeable and courteous. Excellent English. Always would recommend him.
Andres was incredibly intelligent and made the history we learned so comprendible.
Alfonso was an incredible guide - his knowledge and clear passion for both the Alcazar and the cathedral, willingness to customize the tour to our group’s interests, and great conversation, made this a definite highlight of our time in Sevilla.
Good for skip the queue and best viewing spots. Lots of detail about building styles and history including royalty and cultural influences. The guides knowledge and English was very good but sometimes the speed and accent meant good concentration was needed.
A dres was the vast tour guy. Engaging and CB passionate about sharing history. Kept us interested and ensured we were avoiding larger tour groups once inside. A must for everyone!
Could not have been happier with our tour and our tour guide Andres. We were a small group of SIX people only which was phenomenal, especially as groups of 20-50 people passed us in clumps. Andres was so knowledgeable, funny, and thoughtful in both tour arrangements and also giving breaks. We came out with so much more knowledge than an average tour and with a personalized small group, it couldn't have been better. Highly recommend and definitely would say to avoid the crown tours and anything over 15-20 people - you'll regret not having booked this tour instead. Highly recommended! Thank you Andres!
Excellent tour, Farran our guide was extremely informative, thoroughly enjoyed it we booked the smaller group size which we found much better
Andres was a fantastic guide. He was very thorough in his explanations. Us being a small group he kept an eye out for the larger groups and made sure that we didn’t get stuck behind them. Additionally when touring the cathedral he kept an eye out for places to sit to tell us about the history and cathedral. He was a fantastic guide and I would recommend going with him! Our group was 6 for the Alcázar and 4 for the cathedral. Andres was open to questions and allowed us the opportunity to do some exploring on our own.
Andres was an excellent guide. Very informative, kind, and took time to ensure all questions were answered. The trip was at a perfect pace. What I loved most about this was the small group.. some of the tours we saw were well over 20 people. Ours had just 8.
A great way to see the best of the Carthedral and Gardens in Seville, you can’t go wrong with this small and informative tour with Andres. He was punctual and very friendly throughout and all was seen in good time.
We enjoyed the Alcazar and Cathedral tours given by Lola. She gave us the information assisted by earphones and the alliwed time to discover the areas on our own.
Wonderful tour. Our guide Andres was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and also was flexible in adjusting the timing so our group could also climb to the top of the bell tower.
Fantastic tour. Andres was amazing. Knowledgable, engaging, and kept a good pace. A really lovely afternoon. Thank you!
This is experience is very worthwhile during your stay in Seville. These are the two must see sights in Seville and our tour leader explained everything so clearly. He knew how to get around the crowds and have us view the most important and interesting parts of both the palace and cathedral.
Unfortunately we missed the first half of our tour due to train delays and only saw the cathedral. The cathedral is breathtaking and our guide highlighted the important things to see in it. I would highly recommend.
Great communication. Andres was our guide, so knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to. His passion in storytelling even intrigued a 10 year old curious young man in our small group. The small group is definitely the way to go. If you are coming any distance to see these incredible landmarks, spend the money and get a real history lesson and enjoyable tour,
Our tour of the Alcazar was outstanding. Our guide provided terrific insights and walked us through the history of the compound, the rulers, and the inevitable changes over the centuries. She shared interesting references to the symbolism crafted into the plaster design work, ceilings and tiles. We were disappointed in the cathedral segment of the tour. It is a magnificent building from the exterior, but there was much renovation occurring on the inside, that most of our time was spent looking at a model of the building. We were then left on our own to explore the space. After the tour, we climbed to the top of the tower. It was a waste of time as the views from the top were not pretty nor interesting.
Great communications on meetup arrangement. Our guide Andres did well in reading the crowd and was able to manoeuvre our group of 7 ahead or around larger groups, so as to ensure better views and avoid overcrowding. Good exchange of information and questions to keep the group interested
We ended up with only 4 people. Tour guide was fantastic. He made it interesting learning the history We would of been lost and confused without a guide. Skipping the line was a huge plus!
Full detailed tour and it was obvious that our guide was very knowledgeable and very proud of the artistry of everything. So much history here that we were not aware of and so impressed with our guides passion for sharing that history! Highly recommend. We did cathedral and Alcázar back to back but your split as the cathedral alone could be its own trip with so much to see.
Excellent tour. Lola was our guide and was extremely knowledgeable and went into great detail. Worth every penny!
