Marta, our guide for the Seville Cathedral and Giralda tower, was amazing! So informative, fun and eager to share all the beautiful history of such a magnificent place. We loved spending the afternoon with her! Highly recommend

We'll meet at the monumental area of Seville in the surroundings of the cathedral. After getting to know each other we'll enter the monument from the fast-track queue. We will visit some of the chapels and will stop at the most iconic places, as the main altar, choir, baptism chapel, Colombus' tomb and sacristy. The first part we'll see will be the ablutions courtyard of the previous mosque and we'll discover how past civilizations have affected to the city we have nowadays. From there we will enter the Gothic temple, which is the largest cathedral in the world, a huge building from the 1400s.
We'll climb the Giralda tower, the previous minaret of the mosque.

Carlos was knowledgeable and entertaining. He was full of energy and kept the group interested, informed and entertained. I would highly recommend this tour especially with Carlos!
It was the best tour I had in Sevilla or even maybe the best I ever had in my life. Miguel is a monster of knowledge. He gave us tons of information and it's not that it was rehearsed information, Miguel is a live wikipedia about Spanish history. The site is beautiful, there are details and bits of history everywhere. The climb to the Giralda was fun too. I would highly recommend this activity, specially with Miguel.
Carlos was fantastic! The cathedral was stunning and the walk up the tower wasn’t too strenuous. We would highly recommend this tour- thanks very much.
Carla was amazing!! She made the Spanish history come alive for me. Highly recommend her and the agency.
there were 7 of u son the tour so indeed a small group, at 4 pm start the cathedral was very busy and the walk up to the top of the Giralda a trek give all of the people … however after that the crowds thinned out a little and the rest of the two hours flew by. The history of the cathedral is fascinating and the building is spectacular, our guide Concha was very knowledgeable and as a local to Sevilla very passionate about her town and its history. Would very much reccomend
The Cathedral of Seville is a master peace and the guide "Valanteno" was very good, knowledgeable and speaks for good English.
I was very lucky to have a group of only 2 travellers with our guide, Carmen. She was fantastic and a real historian, I’m so grateful that I got to hear from her. Even at the end of a long and hot day, I loved it.
Carmen did an amazing job on our tour. We had a small group tour, and were able to learn a lot of history, fun facts and had all our questions answered. The tour was very personalized. We highly recommend booking this tour!
The cathedral is breath-taking and there's too much to read about ahead of time. A knowledgeable guide always makes it worthwhile. Valentin is a historian and very knowledgeable. Even though we were the only ones who signed up, he still took us through the entire tour.
Antonio was passionate, very knowledgeable and exhaustive. His hand-selected sites within the cathedral were wonderful. It was an entertaining and satisfying tour. My advice: don’t book the Alcazar with the cathedral. Soak in each site separately.
Laura has good knowledge of the history Would recommend We went in June and it was super hot outside, so nice to have tour indoors
Marta was a wonderful guide. Our group of four enjoyed seeing the beautiful Seville Cathedral and climbing to the top of the Giralda Tower. Marta had very interesting historical details to share; we all learned so much more than if we had done a self-guided tour. I would definitely recommend experiencing both the cathedral and the tower in the small group tour setting.
Antonio was the best guide. We learned so much about the cathedral and Sevilla.
Antonio is an excellent and very knowledgeable guide! Made us all feel extremely comfortable! Recommended
Barbara was amazing and the tour was great!
Carlos was fantastic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He pointed out lots of interesting facts that would be easily overlooked without a knowledgeable personal guide. Well worth visiting this iconic cathedral with a guide.
Marta had great historical knowledge of the cathedral and Sevilla. We really enjoyed her tour! She took a lot of time with us and answered all our questions. Thank you Marta!
Carmen did a wonderful job leading our tour of the Seville Cathedral and Giralda Tower. Her expertise on the architecture and the vast history of the cathedral was impressive. She managed the tour perfectly, ensuring that we saw all of the highlights while providing fascinating context that we would have missed on our own. A highlight of our time in Seville!
There is lots to see and observe so ensure you book a tour with pre booked tickets as the day’s allocation sells out. Give this tour plenty of time and don’t try to see everything in a rush. Our guide showed us the main points and explained the history. It was excellent: our guide, Carmen, was a very knowledgeable historian who gave us many details we would have missed on our own. Luckily we had her to ourselves so it was like a private tour - more of a conversation with an expert rather than another tourist experience.
Antonio was great and so knowledgeable! He took his time to explain everything and was very engaging and kept things interesting.
What a wonderful, unique experience we had today when we were given an exclusive tour of Seville Cathedral with Carmen. Carmen’s in depth knowledge of the Cathedral and Seville was outstanding and entertaining and she made history come to life for us. She had such a great personality and paced the tour perfectly stopping to answer questions in more detail or elaborate on interesting facts. We had a brilliant time and will remember this experience for a long time. Would highly recommend this tour, thank you Carmen.
Our guide Antonio was excellent and very knowledgeable.
Our guide was Antonio, who took the extra effort to find us in a crowded and confusing plaza. He has the knowledge, motivation and passion about his subject to keep us thoroughly interested the whole time. We probably learned more on this tour than we have on any other previous Viator experience.
Great tour . Antonio was very informative and interesting . Thank you . Well worth it
To go with a guide who has all the knowledge and who is just so happy to share it with you. Taking your photos, give you advice on places to go and eat. It saves you so much time to explore other adventures and history. Carlos was truly amazing, I wish I could do all my tours with him.
Carmen is very extremely knowledgeable with her historian background and she shared so many fun-facts and interesting stories. Great experience.
So pleased we did this as a guided tour - Miquel was excellent. Very knowledgable, professional and a great guide. It turned out to be just the two of us so Miquel went at our pace and explained the history of this beautiful Cathedral. It is fascinating so much to see and the climb up the Bell Tower is well worth it. You can stay in the Cathedral after the tour is ended which is very good.
A really interesting tour. Our guide, Valentin, was wonderful. His enthusiasm for the cathedral was infectious and his knowledge of history impeccable. He was welcoming and mixed the history with anecdotes and humour. He helped us to focus on details and imagery that we would have otherwise have missed. Thank you again, Valentin!
Carlos, is a local resident who shares insider knowledge about the cathedral and history of the people. Fantastic guide! Highly recommend this tour.
Great tour given by Marta! Very knowledgeable and interesting! Beautiful cathedral with fascinating history. Enjoyed the views from climbing the tower as well.
This was fantastic!! Carlos was a wonderful guide… so personable and knowledgeable, and wonderful with the kids. Highly recommend!!!
Really cool experience with an incredibly knowledgeable and personable guide. We learned a lot more than just touring the cathedral on our own, and we enjoyed it greatly!
This is a legit operator -- glad it wasn't a scam as I read some reviews about another operator and immediately asked for a refund for 2 tours I booked with the other (I got a refund but lost more than EUR 20 in rhe process). A couple of days prior to the tour, the operator will already be sending WhatsApp to your number, acting as a reminder for your booking. Even on the day itself, it will send more reminders via WhatsApp. I was met by Valentín 5 mins prior. The Seville Unique Experiences (SUE) bag he was carrying on the back was a little tiny given the large square with many tour groups (not his fault) but no biggie. I sincerely appreciate that SUE did not cancel the English tour even though I was the only one for the day. I am also appreciative of Valentín passion for Seville's history, being a History academic himself. He took me to see highlights of the cathedral which were more unique (far better than pressing every single number on the audio guide), and of course he had a knack for historical dates. He would also give a anecdote or two so you don't just know when this or that was built. You can also ask him various small details and he would know them too. He will see you off to climb La Giralda by yourself. After you come down, you can still tour the rest of the cathedral to catch up on anything you think you missed during the tour.
Meeting up was difficult as no specific place mentioned other than Plaza. However once we met CARMEN everything went so smoothly. She was bubbly, very knowledgeable and made sure everyone in the group was included. Efficient throughout, we glided to all parts of the cathedral. Carmen being an historian gave us many interesting facts & stories that made the whole tour worthwhile. She was AMAZING!
Great to be able to skip queue , Bárbara was very well versed on the history of the tower and cathedral, very informative.
Very informative, lots to see and discover! We toured the grounds and cathedral with deep dives in all the right areas.
We had a wonderful tour of the Cathedral with Miguel. He had an in depth knowledge of the history and architecture of the Cathedral. He delivered information with ease and enthusiasm. In addition he answered all our questions relating to other aspects of Spanish history and culture without hesitation and added some funny anecdotes which added to our enjoyment. Excellent tour, so glad we took it.
Best tour I’ve done. So informative and a fun guide. I had no idea that Seville was filled with so much history and as a result incredible buildings of importance.
We should mention that Carlos was an exceptional tour guide. His knowledge and enthusiasm were inspiring and his sense of humour was second to none. He brought the cathedral alive, very approachable, professional and fun. Felt a little educated but most importantly, we felt welcome.
the best tour we did all holiday The cathedral was amazing and our guide ( as we were a small group) managed to get us easily to the front to get great views of all the important areas would highly recomend
Valentín was an exceptional tour guide, loaded of history and very knowledgeable. He made sure that everyone understood everything.
Small group with guided tour! I was the only one & the tour went on! My tour guide was Marta! She was so knowledgeable, passionate & I learned something from her. I always enjoy guided tours as it is a good way to learn something historical that I can walk away with as compared to on my own where all I would be doing is taking photos of stunning scenery. With a guided tour I got the best of both worlds.
Miguel was a very engaging tour guide. He had a great sense of humour as well and you could tell he was passionate about his history. We really enjoyed it!
So informative our guide Valentine was so knowledgable, freindly and funny! Loved the tour so much!!
A good detailed tour of the cathedral by Miguel, good explanations and pace in a small group. I recommend visiting and was much nicer than the huge groups of 40 you see walking around.
This was an excellent tour. Miguel was very knowledgeable and told us everything in a clear and humorous way. Just one thing to beware is that the Giralda tower climb comes immediately after the cathedral tour. We really could have done with a 10 minute sit down first before tackling the tower but it wasn’t too bad a climb.
Carlos was amazing! He took his time to get to know us and explain all of the hidden treasures of the cathedral. He is a master storyteller and you can tell he is passionate about what he does.
We were so impressed with Marta and her knowledge and anecdotes related to the things we were seeing within the Cathedral and Tower. You could tell she was passionate about what she does and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her guided tour so that you can more appreciate what you are looking at and the history and stories behind it.
Carmen Maria did an excellent job guiding us through the many areas of the cathedral and told us a lot of interesting true stories and facts that we probably wouldn’t have known or found out about otherwise. I very highly recommend her and the small group tour.
