Guide didn’t appear to have detailed knowledge of the cathedral construction. Gave general information. When some of the small group were climbing the tower there was no involvement with the remaining members. She seemed most interested in telling us of her family and friends and the Columbus tombs. Very hard to hear her in noisy building without audio systems. Very expensive small group tour.

If visiting Seville this must be on your list. It's a UNESCO building so it's not going to disappoint. Amazing cathedral. Huge Gothic style structure with the riches of the New World and the craftsmanship of the ages. Definitely the most impressive cathedral I've ever seen. You'll need at least 2 hours and you'll need an audio guide. Signage is not good. It is hard to follow a route. This is the only negative. Visit and enjoy
We have two unforgettable tours to Alcazar and Cathedral with amazing guide Andreas ! So informative, professional and breathtaking. He knows how to guide to make the tourist to see the best ! We will come again to see House of Pillstes and Art Museum with him next time!!
Excellent tour with our guide Andreas. Great English, knowledgeable and personable. Made our tour interesting and endeared to show us the main areas of interest before it became too crowded. Highly recommended.
Outstanding tour!! Pablo did an excellent job - he shared facts and info while keeping it interesting for my three kids (ages 15, 13, 10). We were the only ones on his tour so really easy to hear him and see everything.I had been to the cathedral before but I learned so much on the tour. Highly recommend!
Very informative and interesting tour. We had about 2 hrs in total as our guide left us to explore on our own at the end. Would highly recommend
Teresa was an amazing guide. She offered tons of interesting information, answered questions with pleasure and engaged us throughout the tour. She was extremely professional in handling four members of our group that were very late without making the rest of us suffer. It was a fasicinating experience and a great value. Our only regret was we could fit in her tour of the Alcazarthe next day. First rate!!
Apie guide Andraes was first class !The tour was relaxed,very interesting fantastic architecture/history- we went mid afternoon and it wasn't too busy.The tour was well organised with no problems.
Booked combined tour of the Cathedral and Alcazar plus Giraldar Tower.3 hours with a brilliant guide with such wonderful knowledge.Everthing you need to know and see of the 3rd largest Cathedral in the world. Book in advance online around £25 per person. The best way to do this incredible Cathedral justice.
Guide was knowledgeable and funny. Cathedral impressive and climbing the tower well worth the effort. Welorth skip the lines option
TripAdvisor sponsors multiple guided tour companies for Seville attractions. There is absolutely no point in leaving a review, good or damning, if you don’t name the company involved. After many hours scanning pointless reviews we finally chose “apie” (#Experiencias Turísticas Guiadas) for a tour of Seville Cathedral. What a BRILLIANT CHOICE. The tour guide, Andreas, arrived before time, organized and efficient. He has a superb grasp of the English language. His subject knowledge was impeccable supplying the history, folklore and legends about the many artifacts on display in a passionate and often witty manner. He quite clearly loves his City and revels in conveying that knowledge to the tour participants, even suggesting other attractions within the City, which his company does not cover, with advice on how and when to visit free of charge. There was no rush, he goes at the rate of the slowest and was quite happy to wait whilst I sat and rested my old legs for a while. By the end of the tour it felt as though we had been accompanied not by a tour guide but by a knowledgeable, intelligent and considerate friend. Well done Andreas and thank you “Apie”. Highly recommended.
Searching for online tickets for the cathedral of Seville, we booked 5 tickets for this tour. After the confirmation of the buying, it appeared that these tickets did not include the entrance permit to the cathedral. And the entrance tickets could only be bought for a time slot beyond our stay. So I wasted a lot of money for nothing! Very misleading information!
<p>We booked at short notice, the night before, we were met on time by Marina who is very knowledgeable and interesting. Don't go without a guide! We learnt so much about things that we would have otherwise walked past. The best!</p>
<p>I booked this at the last moment and suprisingly I ended up with a private tour. My guide spoke great English and knew her history.<br/> I highly recommend this tour.</p>
<p>Our guide Guadaloupe was absolutely tremendous. Wednesdays in early February must be rather slow days in Sevilla, so m y wife, my Mom and I were lucky to have Guadaloupe all to ourselves. Not only for the Cathedral tour but before on the Alcazar tour. Both were especially great for my Mom 89 yrs old on her first trip ever outside of the U.S. and in a wheelchair. Guadaloupe went out of her way to ensure that Mom had access to as many of the key sights in both the Alcazar and the Cathedral. My wife and I have used Viator on many trips Zurich, Rome, Prague, Budapest, Paris, Washington DC, and others, but these two tours in Sevilla were the best buys for the money EVER!!!</p>
Guide very prepared, nice, helpful. He speaks very good Italian highly recommended. A guarantee. Lucky to meet him
We did the guided tour in Italian with Andres, who proved to be super helpful with a very broad knowledge of the place its history and curiosities... highly recommended!
Imposing and majestic. Built on an ancient mosque. Dedicated to Santa Maria della Sede. It is considered one of the largest Gothic churches. Thanks to Andres, our prepared and competent, helpful and kind tour guide.
Wonderful personalized visit, in which not only the cathedral is explained in detail but is an open visit to receive questions and making it much more personal, care is taken to treat it spectacular and not only that but the groups are careful that they are small and looking for the opportune moments in each space so that they do not meet with other groups and can be upset.
Andreas, what about great guide, you can not come to Seville without his guide. Tour of the cathedral and the Real Alcazar all explained in detail. What about... Super recommended and CONGRATULATIONS
Today we visited the cathedral of Seville accompanied by the talented Andreas, he explained every detail of the church very well. I suggest you be accompanied by him.
We visited the RRAA and the cathedral with Raúl last weekend, we are a group of friends from Aboul. Great, enjoyable, interesting, in fact we arrived almost an hour late to the cathedral because of what was extended in his explanations at the Alcazar. He also made us some beautiful instagram photos. A small group, just the seven of us. Do not hesitate, they also take your tickets and you do not expect a queue.
Cathedral tour with Raul Very pleasant time and a beautiful visit We'll have to come back. There's a lot to discover at this monument.
I was in Seville with my husband last week and took part in the small-group guided tour of the cathedral. Our guide was Andres, his explanation allowed us to fully appreciate this place so vast, rich in history and art. I highly recommend taking advantage of APIE's offer to visit important monuments of Seville, the quality of their guide allows you to know in depth the history and value of what you visit.
Competent, punctual, interesting and friendly. An excellent idea to get to know this beautiful city better. We also made the Jewish quarter and the Royal Alcazars with them. A wonder. Highly recommended!
All very punctual, the explanation very complete and interesting, all perfect. Our guide Marina has been very friendly.
It was a great visit to the cathedral. The guide was very friendly and explained everything great and very enjoyably. We were with 12 and 8 year olds and they loved it too. Fundamental what is a small group (about 15 people) and is all much more familiar. I highly recommend it.
