I booked the Cathedral and Alcazar tour one week before our visit to Seville. You are not asked for your passport information directly but next day. I delayed maybe one day replying and so our Alcazar tour was not booked but we did not get refund!! Amigo tours perhaps should improve their system. Our tour of Cathedral and Giralda tower was guided by Hector who was excellent. We really enjoyed the tour and his passion for his home city of Seville! I recommend anyone visiting Seville to do a guided tour. You will learn a lot.

Itinerary
In this beautiful square we will start our tour.
Then, you will have the opportunity (only if the option is selected) to visit the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Thanks to your guide, you will learn about the construction of the cathedral and its important role in history. After the tour, you will have some free time to explore the temple on your own and to go up to the Giralda and enjoy the views of Seville.
Enjoy the possibility of going up to the Giralda, former Minarete of the antique mosque. From here, you will be astonished by the views of the city for sure!
Our guide will give a full guided visit of this royal palace built for the Christian king Peter of Castile. You will learn everything about its architecture and history, as it is a preeminent example of Mudéjar architecture in the Iberian Peninsula.

Our Tour guide Hector was very friendly and knowledgeable about the Cathedral and Castle. He was great ! We appreciated his enthusiasm.
The tour doesn’t include a guided tour of the garden only the palace - don’t forget your passport or a picture of it on your phone or they won’t let you in !
Hector was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable in his tour and gave us a very well timed visit of the cathedral. The tempo was good, the history was accurate and clear and all was very well explained. Great tour.

Hector did is very well. On a fun way he exlained all the history. Would recommend him. With Booking be aware if you book only cathedral or Alcázar. The title may be confusing to the real tour
I didn’t think Tiqets were very good
The tour was the perfect combination of educational and entertaining. Hector was so kind, and personable! 10/10 the best tour guide we have ever had. His knowledge was amazing, he spoke clearly factually, and gave us a plenty of time to see things before moving on

I had Hector as my tour guide and he was just amazing. He is so passionate about his work and explained everything really well. I ended up being the only person who booked onto the tour which was lovely!
Hector was fabulous and we were lucky to be in a small group, just the two of us! He narrated incredible parts of history of the cathedral and Alcazar with passion and pointed out details we wouldn’t have found on our own. We were engaged the whole time. We highly recommend.
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.

Our guide Hechtor was very friendly and knowledgeable.
This was, by far, one of the best tours ever taken anywhere. Two of the most incredible places, rich in culture and history, and we had the honour of an amazing guide, Hector. He took us though centuries of history, of family stories entertwined with spectacular artefacts, and religious connections throughout the world. Absolutely recommend that you don't miss this tour when you come to Seville. Muchas Gracias por todo, Héctor!

Héctor was truly an exceptional tour guide. The visit to both the magnificent cathedral and the stunning Giralda was absolutely outstanding. I highly recommend it to all families, especially those with little ones.
Hector was great!! Wishig best from Antonio and Antonela!!
Amazing tour! Understood more deeply about the cathedral.
Booked it 10 days before I came to seville, thought go through a reputable company who can get entry to Alcazar. 2 days before the trip i got an email saying they couldn't get alcazar tickets and they would refund me for that portion of the trip, I had to call them in Madrid to get this agreed. The problem was I couldn't get any tickets for my trip to Alcazar as this was too late to buy tickets. We were due to meet 11am Friday, we arrived at pick up point in 40 degree heat, 10 minutes before this I got an email saying they couldn't get cathedral tickets, and the tour would start at 1400, I had to ring them up and cancel as this was not what I booked. If you want to go, book tickets direct with yourselves to save the disappointment on your trip and they will invariably change the times or not deliver what was promised. I had to do a chargeback to get my money back from them, absolutely ruined my trip.
Hector was an amazing guided tour with amazing energy!
