Alba was amazing. So nice funny and knowledgeable. She did great job making our experience perfect. Highly recommend.

Hanssie_H

Getting to see the Alcazar before it opened to the public was an incredible experience! I wish we had more time there - 90 minutes wasn’t enough to see it all. Our guide, Clara, was knowledgeable, entertaining, and did a great job with timing - restroom, snack, finding shady spots for us to stand or sit in. You could tell she really loved her job! Cathedral was interesting as well. We got 30 min free time inside to climb the tower. It was ramps and not a million stairs so that was great. The view was incredible. Clara took us around the inside of the cathedral as well, showed us all the highlights.

Penelope was an excellent guide. Engaging and interesting, even beyond the palace and cathedral tours. Good group size (10-12). Nice brief breaks. Highly recommend.

This was a great small group tour and Beatriz was a great guide with a ton of knowledge. She was engaging with the group and had lots of suggestions of other things to see and do

Very comprehensive tour of the key sights in Seville. Tour guide was amazing. It was like having a history professor with a great personality that made learning fun. Highly recommend!

This is a must when visiting Seville. Clara was the best tour guide. She was very smart, excited, and kept everything moving, making the most of our time. Having the privilege to visit the Alcazar de Seville in such a quiet, peaceful way was amazing and a once in a lifetime experience. Don’t miss this!

The tour was excellent and provided a lot of insight to the two beautiful attractions. Raquel was fantastic, very knowledgeable and engaging, she made the tour special.

zqfantastic

This tour is one of the best we have ever done. The early private access to the Alcazar is an absolute must and the best way to experience this magnificent ancient castle without the excessive crowds. Sevilla is a beautiful city with a rich history. I have to especially mention our terrific guide Rachel ( Raquel) who is one of the main reasons why our experience was so wonderful. She is knowledgeable, warm,charming and such a great host. You can tell how much she loves her home town of Sevilla. 200 out of 100 marks to her!!

Our tour and another Walks tour had the Real Alcazar to ourselves for an hour- the experience was unreal. Would absolutely recommend it - especially after seeing the ridiculous line of people waiting to get in when we walked by later in the day. The full day tour gave a great overview of the city and the guide was fantastic. I will 100% recommend this Walk to anyone visiting Seville

We really enjoyed this tour with Clara. It’s an early start but that’s very welcome as much cooler early morning, and it meant we could fit so much in at a relaxed pace. The early entry to the Alcazar well worth it as it is so much more peaceful and makes it so much easier to appreciate the different rooms and areas within, including uninterrupted photo opportunities. It was noticeable towards the end in the gardens when the general public started to come in. Clara was a a lovely personable guide, enthusiastic and proud of her city. She was a fount of historical context for everything we saw. The stroll through the Jewish quarter was another highlight. The taster from the convent bakery was enjoyable. In fact we went back for more to try some different treats. They have a variety of small local cakes to try. We loved the Plaza de España despite it being relatively modern compared to other sites. Clara gave a lot of interesting facts pertaining to its design. It was getting hotter by this time but Clara made sure the pace wasn’t rushed and we had shady rest stops wherever possible. The final stop in the Cathedral is impressive. Clara gave everyone some time to explore ourselves and then took us back in to talk about some of the highlights. We thought we would be exhausted after a six hour walking tour but the time flew by. Highly recommend this tour.
