Itinerary
Most of the grounds that were used for the park were formerly the gardens of the Palace of San Telmo. They were donated to the city of Seville in 1893 by the Infanta Luisa Fernanda, Duchess of Montpensier, for use as a public park. In 1914 the architect Aníbal Gonzalez began construction for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, which was held partly within the park. The centre of it is Parque de María Luisa, a 'Moorish paradisical style' with a half mile of tiled fountains, pavilions, walls, ponds, benches, and exhedras. There are lush plantings of palms, orange trees, Mediterranean pines, and stylized flower beds with bowers hidden by vines. The park serves as a botanical garden. Many plant species, native or exotic, are represented, along with educational panels to inform the visitors to the park. Many birds make their home in the park, which is known for its large population of doves .
The Plaza de España ("Spain Square", in English) is a plaza in the Parque de María Luisa (Maria Luisa Park), in Seville, Spain. It was built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It is a landmark example of Regionalism Architecture, mixing elements of the Baroque Revival, Renaissance Revival and Moorish Revival (Neo-Mudéjar) styles of Spanish architecture.
The Torre del Oro (English: "Tower of Gold") is a dodecagonal military watchtower in Seville. It was erected by the Almohad Caliphate in order to control access to Seville via the Guadalquivir river. Constructed in the first third of the 13th century, the tower served as a prison during the Middle Ages. Its name comes from the golden shine it projected on the river, due to its building materials (a mixture of mortar, lime and pressed hay). The tower is divided into three levels, the first level, dodecagonal, was built in 1220 by order of the Almohad governor of Seville, Abù l-Ulà; As for the second level, of only 8 meters, also dodecagonal, was built by Peter of Castile in the fourteenth century, a hypothesis that has been confirmed by archaeological studies; The third and uppermost being circular in shape was added after the previous third level, Almohad, was damaged by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. Rebuilding of the third level was made by Brusselian Sebastian Van der Borcht in 1760.
The Puente de Isabel II, Puente de Triana or Triana Bridge, is a metal arch bridge in Seville, Spain, that connects the Triana neighbourhood with the centre of the city. It crosses the Canal de Alfonso XIII, one of the arms of the River Guadalquivir that isolate Triana as an almost-island. It was built during the reign of Isabella II of Spain and completed in 1852 as the first solid bridge in Seville, replacing an earlier floating bridge consisting of boats (a pontoon bridge). First built by the Moors in the 12th century, the pontoon bridge managed to exist for seven centuries due to later repairs.[1]
The Royal Alcázars of Seville (Spanish: Reales Alcázares de Sevilla), historically known as al-Qasr al-Muriq (Arabic: القصر المُورِق, The Verdant Palace) and commonly known as the Alcázar of Seville (pronounced [alˈkaθaɾ]), is a royal palace in Seville, Spain, built for the Christian king Peter of Castile. It was built by Castilian Christians on the site of an Abbadid Muslim alcazar, or residential fortress destroyed after the Christian conquest of Seville. The palace is a preeminent example of Mudéjar architecture in the Iberian Peninsula but features Gothic, Renaissance and Romanesque design elements from previous stages of construction. The upper storeys of the Alcázar are still occupied by the royal family when they are in Seville, and are administered by the Patrimonio Nacional. It was registered in 1987 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, along with the adjoining Seville Cathedral and the General Archive of the Indies.

Excellent tour. Very knowledgeable guide and the best way to discover the sights of Seville. Would highly recommend
Our opera singing guide was magnificent! Can’t recommend this highly enough. Our guide (sorry can’t remember your name paolo(?) - Pavarotti’s better looking nephew with a voice to suit. A veritable history mine, we learnt more of the History of Seville that you’d get from several lectures. A must when you first arrive in Seville and then can choose where to explore further in coming days.
Great tour round the city with lots of historical information - our guide Paulo was brilliant and made the trip a great experience
Easy 5 stars for Paolo on our E-bike tour of Seville. We arrived at the bike shop on time and left shortly after. Paolo started our tour with a brief history of Seville. He is a true historian and ambassador of his city. Paolo guided us to numerous landmarks while he shared insightful background at every site. We stopped for a coffee and talked about life. Our tour continued, covering much of Seville. Paolo kindly gave us little extra time so we could experience more of this beautiful city. We finished with a selfie with him. Highly recommend this bike shop and a guided tour with Paolo. Also, note, the beginning part of the ride the bike lane is crowded, lots of weaving and some stopping.
We had an e-bike tour of Seville with Juan and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Juan was an excellent guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the city. He made the history and stories of Seville incredibly interesting and brought everything to life in a fun and engaging way. The tour was well paced, and he always made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable on the bikes. The e-bikes were great quality and made it easy to see so much of the city without feeling rushed. We learned loads, saw places we would never have found on our own, and had a brilliant time throughout. Thank you, Juan, for such a fantastic experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seville!
Awesome tour with Alvaro, who is a local and added bonus of him being a archeologist. He shared so many local tips along with the interesting history of beautiful Seville. We so enjoyed the tour and having his enthusiasm was the icing on the cake!
We had a great experience on our bike tour in Seville and absolutely loved our guide, Juan. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. He shared a lot of interesting information along the way and, most importantly, made us feel very safe—even with our 10-year-old riding with us. The bike lanes in Seville are very real and well respected. Even when it feels like you’re riding on the sidewalk, people move out of the way because it’s clearly marked, which made it much more comfortable for our family. Because it was Semana Santa, we weren’t able to ride through the downtown area, but that honestly worked out for the best. Juan took us through María Luisa Park, Plaza de España, and along the river, which were all beautiful and much less crowded—ideal with kids. One tip: before leaving the bike shop, make sure you have the right size bike, that everything is working properly, and that you feel comfortable with the height and fit. That part is a bit on you to check before heading out. Overall, this was a fantastic tour—fun, informative, and very family-friendly. Would definitely recommend, especially with Juan as your guide. ⸻
Great trip round serville. Very knowledgeable guide. Saw all the sights . Sorry I ve forgot his name. Didn’t get shown how to use the electric bike and so I used for most of the tour as a normal bike. Then after going up a small hill got shown how to turn on . What a difference. Beautiful city. Thanks for the restaurant / bar tips . Would use again ….value for money and easy to find very central. Worked out very well from our cruise ship.
Wonderful experience riding a bike through parts of the city. The bikes are somewhat large and the shorter people in our party struggled at the start; however, we flying along and taking in the sites in no time. Highly recommended. Our tour guide was wonderful and knowledgeable about the history and the culture of Seville.
Fantastic experience. Claudia was an excellent guide who showed us many great places in Sevilla. We were able to cover more of the area and learn a lot about the history and culture. 10/10 rating
Our guide Veronica (think that was her name) was GREAT. Learnt a lot of history. Didn’t really need an e-bike as it was an easy ride. It was a great way to learn about the area.
We absolutely had the best tour guide!!!! He was a local young man and extremely knowledgeable on the history of Seville. He was great I have learnt so much about the beautiful Seville.
What a great way to see the city and cover a lot of territory. Our guide Juan was very knowledgeable and took us to great spots, we thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend this tour.
We really loved our private bike tour. It is such a great way to see a city like Sevilla due to its size and not possible on foot.
This was a wonderful bike tour of the city and it’s beautiful museums and parks. I would highly recommend this trip. Matis was hi knowledgeable about the city and the parks
Lovely guided trip given by Danny. Enjoyed it despite the rain 🌧 Advise to show tourists the workings of an electric bike beforehand
Daniel was an excellent tour guide and shared important history of Seville. He was great with safety and directions on the bike
We did both a tour and individual rentals. The service was excellent. On the guided bike tour of Seville the guide, Pablo Rincon, was knowledgeable and provided interesting background of history and current events in Seville. The bikes were well maintained and the customer service very accommodating. We would highly recommend Rent a Bike Sevilla for either a guided tour or individual rental. (Or both!)
These guys are great. First day we took a guided e-bike tour with Pablo Rincon. Pablo is a native of Seville and also a history major at the university. He was an funny and intelligent guide who really made the history come alive. All our equipment worked beautifully and was my favorite activity during our stay. The second day we rented bikes again but chose to be on our own. Once again it was a first rate experience and we were able to see even more of this beautiful city. Five Stars
Cycling in the rain through the shady avenues in the Parque de Maria Luisa. Also the amazing information imparted by our guide to give us an excellent all round view of the city
We had a private cycling tour of Seville with Daniel as our guide. We cycled out at 10.00am on E bikes and we’re back just before 1am. We saw all the sites of Seville and Daniel was very knowledgeable about the history of the city. So many beautiful things to see including the spectacular Spanish Square. One of the best things we have done in Seville - definitely recommend this tour and guide.
What a fun way to see so much of Sevilla. Our guide Elena was great and very accommodating for when we needed to take a break. We were able to make some choices of different places to bike to which was perfect for us. Definitely recommend this company for a tour.
I would like to thank you for making our trip so good. My friends & I really had a great time. We were very please with our e-bikes, the tour and your service. We recommend Ali and his team highly. Kind regards, Johan
Ali seemed nice enough on the phone and said that he had electric bikes for our family to hire. We asked for prices of all options including going it alone and taking a tour guide. At no time did we confirm booking a guide. We came the next day to the office which is pretty dishevilled and Ali totally wasted our time. We waited a while for service only to be told he had NO bikes for us and also he had booked a tour guide who waited outside for us looking very unhappy. It all felt really bad and scammy. Ali tried to ring around and find us bikes but by that time we were gone and had booked amazing bikes and cheaper with All of Seville.
<p>Our guide Tristan was wonderful Bikes were fun- though I dont really think you need the electric function in rather flat seville. The bike store is at a very convenient and central location to go exploring from afterwards. I had emailed the tour providers at time of booking regarding my youngest sons height but never heard back regarding bike availability. Unfortunately when we arrived he was too small for the e-bikes and was given a standard bike he's about 58inches/10 years old</p>
Very friendly guide (English language). We were lucky that no other had booked and we got a private tour. Seen a lot and a lot was told.
Great experience good driving and good organization Definitely recommend. Just small note: non-electric bike was the same thing!!
Excelente recorrido, Alejandro nuestro guía nos explico con detalles la historia de cada sitio. Muy recomendado
Wat een leuke tour. Binnen 3 uur het grootste gedeelte van de stad gezien. Dank je wel Ben voor je leuke prachtige en interessante verhalen.
We have had a very good time. They have great human treatment, and their bicycles are in excellent condition.
Visite très intéressante effectuée avec Medhi guide passionné et passionnant. Très agréable une vision de Séville différente
Welcoming by Ali is warm and in our language! We chose a guided tour of the city with a French-speaking Mehdi guide, super friendly and very clear and complete explanations about the history of the city! Thank you very much for this great morning, we enjoyed! I highly recommend this address
Good and helpful, speaks great Italian, has a wide choice of bikes, will also give you advice on the routes, all flat and beautiful, go to him and you will not regret
A local in a beautiful place of seville, I was hallucinated with the shop assistant, I heard him speak in 4 languages in the time we waited. The service was very good and they waited for me before closing as I was late. I recommend the place to rent bicycles and take a walk in Seville
Abbiamo fatto questa escursione il 30/12/2018Sia l’addetto al noleggio e soprattutto la guida, Daniele, sono stati gentilissimi.Daniele è riuscito a far letteralmente volare le 3 ore dell’escursione, con curiosità che non si trovano sui libri.Veramente bravissimo
Owner Ali is a top performer. Very customer-friendly and knows how to convey a dose of humor. Bikes are of good quality and are in good condition. If you want to rent a bike in Seville you have to be here.
<p>Dies war das Highlight unseres einwöchigen Sevilla-Aufenthaltes. Wir lernten Sevilla nochmals auf eine ganz andere Art kennen. Einen besonderen Dank verdient dabei der holländische Guide, der sehr gut deutsch sprach. Wir haben diese E-Bike Tour privat gemacht ohne Gruppe und empfehlen dies gerne weiter!</p>
<p>muy agradable<br/> Como recomendación, dejar abierto a los clientes la zona a visitar, o en qué hacer más hincapié, por si ya conocen algo de Sevilla y prefieren recorrer otras zonas a las previstas.</p>
