Great experience- especially with a guide who lives and breathes the historical significance of this site! Jesus was so knowledgeable (and funny!) and we learnt a lot. Was great to take a coach to the site and be escorted around. We also went to the nearby monastery which rounded off the half day trip nicely. So glad we did this tour! And with three different pick up locations, made it easy to get to one of them in the morning.

Itálica is a very unique experience. The ruins are very cool. The fact that there are still tiles intact is amazing. Unfortunately they don’t get enough funding to protect what is there. Our guide was very knowledge, and had degrees in archeology. Definitely worth the trip.

My wife and I had a fantastic experience with the Naturanda Italica/monastery English tour in early June 2024 during our trip to Sevilla. Transportation was arranged to and from the sites from Sevilla which was great. Our tour guide (I forgot her name) was great - she was very knowledgeable and helped with context and detail on both sites. This was very helpful as while I was walking through Italica it somewhat reminded me of the Roman Forum in Italy. I was surprised at how well preserved Italica is, particularly the intricate floor mosaics and their amphitheater. Fantastic experience! I recommend this tour to anyone interested in Roman ruins/architecture and history of Spain.

Well done tour of the ruins and monastery! Our guide, Laon, was knowledgeable and fun and gave a really interesting and in depth perspective on the history and archaeology of the area. The tour bus was comfortable, and the journey was quick. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes for the mildly uneven terrain.

Leon was an excellent guide : very knowledgeable , sharing his stories in a meaningful and humorous manner . He also included a visit to San Isidoro del campo monastery . He is a historian and archaeologist so we were lucky to have him as our guide .

Loved the tour! Catherine was a great guide! The time spent in Italica was just right. We didn’t feel rushed at all. The monastery we visited was beautiful. We would not have found that on our own. Highly recommend this tour.
