Guided Visit To The Archivo De Indias

The guide revealed a deep knowledge about the subject of the visit. He was just SUPER! very kind and open to questions

Very full of important information. The use of an audio phone helped. The Archivo is a large building and it was unclear if there were available restrooms. Our guide was very helpful and interactive.

The Archives tell so much of a story about Isabella, Sevilla and the New World. The building is a story in itself and the details about the voyages to the "Indies" are stunning.

The guide spoke very fast in Spanish - difficult to understand; no English guide available. While during the tour portions of the Archivio de Indias were closed because of a special "exploration" exhibit inauguration (from 20 September to January 2025) later the access to the Archivio and the new exploration area was opened after the tour guide left. Accessing the Archivio without a guide is free and also the exploration exhibit newly opened is free. Not worth the paid guide. For those who investigate documents across the street the Archivio with the original documents stored can be viewed free of charge against showing of passport/identity credentials and the filling out of two forms which include the Archivio's regulations. Archivists are very very helpful and forthcoming...In case of consultation you get a password for the Archivio's platform and it is possible entering the Archivio with its own computer.

The tour of the Archivo de Indias was exceptional. While the current exhibition is lacking, the guide did a tremendous job recreating the history to make the experience highly enjoyable.

The guide was great, knew a lot and the visit was very entertaining. Details based on historical evidence.

Unbeatable!! A very interesting and complete visit, also very rigorous and surprisingly enjoyable. Ruben’s (our guide) ability to convey what life was like at the time and how that translates to the different elements of the visit is incredible (both outside and inside the building). I am from Seville, and I would recommend it as essential both to Sevillens and people from outside. Thank you very much for the experience!

Spectacular experience. The visit was super complete, kept you 2 hours with total interest. It was noticeable that the guide was a highly trained person and that he had prepared the route with great interest, giving interesting and enjoyable information. It is curious that a visit to a single building allows you to get an idea of a whole historical stage. Super recommended!

A 10 for the organization, the preparation, and the way of telling things so pleasantly, with wisdom and professionalism. How we enjoyed!! We will repeat 100% THANK YOU!

Estupenda visita con un guía muy preparado. Entorno maravilloso y muy recomendable. Sin duda un lugar que no hay que perderse en Sevilla.

Highly recommended! There is a historical context that immerses you in each moment of the story that is told around the archive.

Rubén, el guía me pareció excepcional. Hizo la visita entretenida, amena, llena de datos de todo tipo. Era obvio que domina el tema.
